Multi-site upgrade leaves _some_ sites unavailable

With the recent upgrade frenzy, leading to 2.8.0.beta2, something strange happened that I’m currently investigating. The effect is that on a multi-site install, some but not all secondary sites do not respond anymore. The primary site is up, and some secondary sites operate normally.

I suspect it may have to do with the discourse-calendar issue already reported on stable, but that’s just a hunch.

I found this in the log for one of the sites:

Did you do a git pull first (unnecessary if you do a rebuild rather then a bootstrap).

Another wild guess is that it’s theme related.

Check themes and plugins. Try safe mode?

Thank you @pfaffman. I used rebuild (twice) and safe-mode did not help. I’m currently rebuilding on another machine to avoid multisite and see if restoring from backups work.

Just to add: published pages (under /pub) work normally. Oh, and /admin too… Maybe I can solve it…


Apparently it comes from discourse-prometheus-alert-receiver which is not enabled for this site…

The following line seems to be the culprit. But since the plugin is not enabled, it should not fire, right?

When discourse-prometheus-alert-receiver is enabled, the site works fine. When it is not enabled, the site breaks. This sounds like a bug to me.
