Tried to install plugin destroyed site, can't run rebuild

Kartoon · July 16, 2020, 8:10am

I was trying to install the format plugin, however I placed the code in the wrong spot and when I rebuilt and loaded the site the plugin wasn’t initializing. So I figured out the mistake, removed it…and it said there was an error on a line. So I found the error on the line and ran it through yamllint, matched up, removed the plugin…but now rebuild work. It keeps giving a persistent error, and while I can load the front page of the site I cannot load any topics, or anything else.

This is from the rebuild and the doctor

I have absolutely no idea what to do but the site is completely destroyed right now. I removed the links because I can only use 3 a post but they’re in there. The rebuilds kept working fine UNTIL I removed the plugin I put in the complete wrong spot, then everything just stopped. It had messed up a couple lines but I confirmed it was fixed. I’m at a COMPLETE loss. I just tried to rerun setup and confirm all the settings, it went fine but failed on rebuild again…

Kartoon · July 16, 2020, 9:22am

Alright so after trying to rerun and edit things for hours I finally tried

./launcher start app and it’s run fine, and the plugin is installed (though I thought I edited it out?). Whatever. However now I’m afraid to try the rebuild or install anything further as I don’t know what exactly caused this, or even what was fixed. So any insight would still be appreciated

pfaffman · July 16, 2020, 1:56pm

It’s impossible to tell from your description what might have been the problem, but if the last rebuild worked, the next one very likely will as well.

itsbhanusharma · July 16, 2020, 2:39pm

He just started an old image with ./launcher start app I guess.

@Kartoon you can probably try rebuilding, if it fails, You would still be able to resume the last known good image through the same command.

Kartoon · July 23, 2020, 10:11pm

Sorry I had a bit of an emergency and couldn’t check this topic.

The rebuild DID NOT work, and I tried again today and it didn’t either. The site is working fine after the “./launcher start app”, but anytime I attempt to rebuild it fails, as well as errors from the discourse doctor. I can post the log it provides me if that helps, but clearly something is still wrong and I’m worried that’s going to lead to a problem somewhere down the line.

pfaffman · July 23, 2020, 10:14pm

It sounds like you have a formatting error in your yml file.

It can be difficult to find and recognize such errors. There are tools that will check.

What I usually do when adding a plugin is copy/paste an existing plugin line and edit the github URL. That way you minimize the likelihood that you’ll break something.

Kartoon · July 23, 2020, 10:54pm

That’s what I assumed and initially it was wrong but I referred to http://www.yamllint.com/ to fix the errors that resulted from me originally placing the plugin text in the wrong places and it comes back as completely fine, I’ve checked numerous times throughout the process (both specific pieces and the entire thing) and it has said it’s right. Unless that site is inaccurate for whatever reason which for all I know is possible I’m not that knowledgeable about it.

Kartoon · July 23, 2020, 11:02pm

This is what I get when I try to rebuild and followed is when I run discourse doctor (both as of five minutes ago). I removed personal information but in the actual log it’s all there and correct

The thing I immediately notice is it says “serious problem, app not running”. And “discourse version at website and localhost not found”. My (uninformed) assumption is whatever these mean, this is the issue.

It also crashed my site just now when I ran rebuild and I did the “start app” to fix it again.

pfaffman · July 23, 2020, 11:08pm

Hmm. Well, it doesn’t look like a formatting problem, but I can’t tell what it might be.

Steven · July 23, 2020, 11:53pm

If the app.yml is a worry, I think it’s best to restart with a clean app.yml file

rm /var/discourse/containers/app.yml
cd /var/discourse
cp samples/standalone.yml containers/app.yml
nano containers/app.yml

Then you can rebuild when everything is checked

Kartoon · August 3, 2020, 5:59am

This worked perfectly. Clearly when it was reporting the yml was correct…it wasn’t.

I then had a temporary issue with emails not sending but when I went and doublechecked the new yml I realized I messed up the email (I always forget I set it to @mg. on mailgun…) so that was fixed within five minutes.

Gah thank you so much I don’t have the fear of imminent destruction occurring at any time now.
