I was running a dev environment in

~/src/discourse-1.6/

and switched over to

```
~/src/discourse

```

(Yes, I’m too stupid to actually use git, so this was my solution.)

I did

```bash
    RAILS_ENV=development
    export RAILS_ENV
    RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate

```

But now when I go to the site and try to log in I get “Login is disabled while the site is in read only mode”.

I saw something somewhere about nuking, blowing away, or resetting redis, but I can’t figure out how to go about that.

In the container, `redis-cli flushall` should do it, from memory.

Did the trick! That’s some memory you’ve got.

It’s my cross to bear.
