Rebuild App - Error

installation

Hi there,
So I’m trying to rebuild my Discourse app to get it started up, but I keep getting this error.

./launcher rebuild app

./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

That is the full output from running the command.
And I’ve tried running Discourse Doctor several times, it didn’t supply anything directly to help the issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Anything interesting in ./launcher logs app ?

3

I’ll check for you.
Hold on while I login to the server.

4

Seems like a lot of files have this message, “file does not exist”

5

What do the contents of /var/discourse look like? Is that where you’re running the commands? Can you tell if there’s a container running?

6

So, I decided to just quickly redo the installation, now when I run,

./launcher rebuild app

It outputs this as the error,

FAILED

I don’t know if this one is fixable at all.

Do you have a valid app.yml file in /var/discourse/containers ? If not then you need to re-run the setup script as well.

Do

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Then

cd /var/discourse/

./launcher rebuild app
