Hi there,
Currently I’m trying to migrate my forum from MyBB to Discourse. So far without success, despite having read several topics about it.
This is what I have done so far at my latest attempt:
- Downloaded the database from MyBB (mybb.sql), uploaded it to the Discourse server
- Created a database named mybb in mysql and then put mybb.sql into it
Then, following the steps mentioned here:
- cd /var/discourse
- ./launcher enter app
- su - discourse
- gem install mysql2
- cd /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts
- nano mybb.rb and put the details of the mybb details into it
- ruby mybb.rb
But during this last step, I’m currently stuck at this error:
discourse@debian94-app:/var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts$ ruby mybb.rb Traceback (most recent call last): 18: from mybb.rb:4:in `<main>' 17: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 16: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 15: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:16:in `<top (required)>' 14: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:16:in `require_relative' 13: from /var/www/discourse/config/environment.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' 12: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 11: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 10: from /var/www/discourse/config/application.rb:54:in `<top (required)>' 9: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:324:in `require' 8: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:291:in `load_dependency' 7: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:324:in `block in require' 6: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:31:in `require' 5: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:22:in `require_with_bootsnap_lfi' 4: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/loaded_features_index.rb:92:in `register' 3: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:23:in `block in require_with_bootsnap_lfi' 2: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:23:in `require' 1: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache/iseq.rb:38:in `load_iseq' /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache/iseq.rb:38:in `fetch': Permission denied - bs_fetch:atomic_write_cache_file:open (Errno::EACCES) 19: from mybb.rb:4:in `<main>' 18: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 17: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 16: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:16:in `<top (required)>' 15: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:16:in `require_relative' 14: from /var/www/discourse/config/environment.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' 13: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 12: from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:92:in `require' 11: from /var/www/discourse/config/application.rb:54:in `<top (required)>' 10: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:324:in `require' 9: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:291:in `load_dependency' 8: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/activesupport-6.0.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:324:in `block in require' 7: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:31:in `require' 6: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:22:in `require_with_bootsnap_lfi' 5: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/loaded_features_index.rb:92:in `register' 4: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:23:in `block in require_with_bootsnap_lfi' 3: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:23:in `require' 2: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache/iseq.rb:34:in `load_iseq' 1: from /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache/iseq.rb:44:in `rescue in load_iseq' /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/bootsnap-1.4.6/lib/bootsnap/compile_cache.rb:29:in **`permission_error': bootsnap doesn't have permission to write cache entries in 'tmp/cache/bootsnap-compile-cache' (or, less likely, doesn't have permission to read '/var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/pry-rails-0.3.9/lib/pry-rails.rb') (Bootsnap::CompileCache::PermissionError)**
I have already tried this:
- Change the user back to root
chmod -R 777 tmp/cache/bootsnap-compile-cachechmod -R 777 /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems- Then changing the user back to discourse with su - discourse
But that didn’t help. Does anyone know how to solve this?
