[Solved]Bootstrap fails, Postgres already running

lolmewn · September 13, 2014, 8:24pm

Hi,

I’m attempting to install Discourse, but am failing so far. It appears that bootstrapping doesn’t want to… bootstrap?
Anyhow, I read a couple of other threads about it and tried “./launcher rebuild app”, which gave the following output:

WARNING: No memory limit support

What am I doing wrong?

Where are you installing, what OS? You are following our official guide?

Vitach · September 13, 2014, 9:12pm

Hi.
I have the same issue. Tried to run “./launcher start app” command from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-digital-ocean.md instructions on Amazon EC2 linux ami last version. Everything was fine but during running the command the connection was lost and after reconnecting I getting the same error when trying to run that command again.

Vitach · September 13, 2014, 9:15pm

What I should to do now?

sam · September 13, 2014, 10:12pm

Reboot. It should fix it.

lolmewn · September 13, 2014, 10:33pm

Installation is at /var/discourse, as per the official installation notes.
Using Debian

Vitach · September 14, 2014, 5:00am

Thank you! It works! )

lolmewn · September 14, 2014, 9:14am

Rebooting the whole system seems to have worked. It now passes the initial breaking point, and I’m awaiting full rebuild now. Thanks

ChrisOva · October 25, 2014, 8:43pm

reboot as in type “reboot” in the cli? cause that didn’t work for me. Im on docker

lolmewn · October 25, 2014, 10:26pm

I meant the whole server. Not just docker, not just cli, everything. All of it.

ChrisOva · October 26, 2014, 7:32am

Done. Same results. I was doing the same thing before anyways.

reboot your droplet in the digital ocean dashboard, if its a physical server, pull the power cord out.

Or try

sudo reboot

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I already tried rebooting my server from both the digitalocean website and using sudo reboot.

well, if you app is running you can not bootstrap it.

Instead do:

./launcher rebuild app

Dwalus · March 29, 2015, 11:01pm

@sam okay, and then I try launching? I’m still failing to bootstrap.

launcher rebuild will bootstrap your app and restart it. There is not need to bootstrap AGAIN while the recreated container is already running.

Golden rule if this is confusing you.

never run ./launcher bootstrap ever, just use ./launcher rebuild and you should be good

codinghorror · March 30, 2015, 3:01am

If this is the case bootstrap should complain if stuff is running and you’re bootstrapping again. Any rudimentary protection we can add here to reduce support requests?
