Multisite rebuild fails on AlmaLinux 9.2, works on AlmaLinux 8.8

[MikeNolan]

I’ve been testing a multisite version (splitting two forums into separate databases) on my testbed server and it works great there (AlmaLinux 8.8.)

But when I try it on AlmaLinux 9.2 on my production server, the rebuild fails.

Some excerpts from the log:

Any suggestions?

Your host version should not be making any difference here.

I would start with going over your multisite.yml with a fine comb and ensuring it’s the same in both places.

I thought I had updated the app.yml file to match the changes I made on the testbed server, but apparently not. When I copied that app.yml file over and changed the domain information, the app built successfully. Still a few other issues to deal with, but they’re not Discourse issues.
