What would you like done?
Restore my discourse site. It is hosted on digital ocean but the form does not load anymore. I tried to rebuild but it did not work
When do you need it done?
Within a week
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
I am flexible within reason.

I’ll send a PM separately. Meanwhile, here are some questions that might help diagnose the problem:
- Is your site completely down?
- Can you ssh into the Droplet?
- Can you copy and paste the error message here?
- Do you have something else listening on the port? For instance, did you start another web server on the Droplet?
- Have you recently installed a firewall?
- Have you tried spinning up a new Droplet and restoring your most recent backup?

1. I can access the droplet
2. Site is completely down [community.showprowess.com](http://community.showprowess.com)
3. No other listing on the port
4. No firewall installation recently
5. Have not tried spinning up a new one. As I have no accessed the site in a while, I am not sure if the whole back is corrupted or is the more of an access issue. That’s why staying away from creating a new droplet.

@Himanshu_Singh found the solution. The error that stopped the rebuild was:
> /var/www/discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/discourse/plugins/guest-gate/discourse/templates/modal.js: Assertion Failed: Named outlets were removed in Ember 4.0. See [Ember.js - Deprecations](https://deprecations.emberjs.com/v3.x#toc_route-render-template) for guidance on alternative APIs for named outlet use cases. (‘discourse/plugins/guest-gate/discourse/templates/modal.hbs’ @ L12:C8)
So the solution was to remove the [deprecated Guest Gate plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/guest-gate-sign-up-popup-plugin/56625).
