Hey All I’ve run through the installation process multiple times now. Unfortunately, each time the entire process comes to a complete halt at cd /var/www/discourse && chown -R discourse /var/www/discourse I’ve tried to create the folder myself, since it didn’t even exist, but it doesn’t seem to h…

What installation instructions are you following? It doesn’t look like discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub . Are you installing a development environment?

That’s exactly the guide that I’ve been following. I practically copy and paste all the commands into my terminal. It’s when I get the ./discourse-setup running… I get past putting all the information in… and then it goes through all the lines of configuring and installing everything. Unfortunately…

Oh dear! I am such a sillyhead. Apparently, on my machine at least, it takes over 10 minutes to get past that step. It seems to be flowing right through the rest of the setup now! So sorry, and thank you!

Yup, it cam take up to 30min for a fresh install and 20min for a rebuild. You probably should scale up to a high cpu vm for the install then scale back down afterwards.

A chown run is going to be disk-bound, not CPU-bound. I’m wondering what sort of archaic storage system you’ve got that it takes 10 minutes to chown the app tree.

Probably :sadpanda: I had been running the server off an SSD until recently. That ended up completely dying on me (it was a fairly old SSD, so I was kind of expecting it to happen eventually). The server’s currently running on some old laptop HDD that I had laying around. Thanks for the reply! Gla…

I realize that chown doesn’t always run slow. It is only when there has been a previous, unsuccessful attempt at rebuild. If it is a fresh rebuild, then chown seems to complete very quickly. If there has been a previous failed rebuild (e.g. a typo in app.yml), then it takes forever to chown. Per…

Well, I have done it several times since then. All clean ./launcher rebuild app without prior failures. Run on multiple VM’s with the same sizes, RAM and CPU’s. Sometimes the chown complete within seconds. Sometimes the chown takes forever. And the larger installations may be the fast ones. I’…

Maybe you can time it, and test this hypothesis and get us some data?
