Hello,
I am merging two forums together via the tutorial present here.
I’m getting stuck on the command gunzip < /path/to/data/other-2018-08-02-134227-v2018xxx.tar.gz | psql -d copyme
It returns me plenty of lines with import errors in unintelligible characters.
Here are the steps performed:
- Discourse installation via official method on VPS.
- Import via GUI of the backup to merge (forumother)
- Backup of the latter (to have a backup with the latest version of discourse)
- Import of the backup of the destination forum (forumdest)
- Import of the backup of
forumothervia SFTP in the folder/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default.
Then I go to the above folder and run the command tar xvzf forumother.tar.gz (with the real name of the backup).
Direction cd /var/discourse then ./launcher enter app
sudo -u postgres psql and CREATE DATABASE "copyme" ENCODING = 'utf8'; and I quit with ``q
It’s now that I’m stuck.
The command gunzip < public/backups/default/forumother.tar.gz | psql -d copyme does not work as it is.
The error is psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "root" does not exist
I can see that this is a connection problem, but I don’t see how to solve it.
I tried logging in as the postgres user su - postgres and then running the command gunzip ... but that’s when the command output is completely inconsistent.
postgres@testforum-app:~$ gunzip < /var/www/discourse/public/backups/default/forum-francophon

I tried to search on the forum, but I didn’t find anything on this.
So I count on your help and thank you in advance.
PS: My English is bad, so it’s possible that I’m not using the right words for a good search on the forum or I’m misinterpreting the tutorial quoted at the beginning of this post.
