I tried to update to 3.4.0 last night and the update keeps failing. Can’t find an obvious plug-in error and there appears to be enough memory also… ```plaintext ==================== SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!! ==================== app not running!

I had a 4gb instance run out of memory yesterday so I would add swap, though that does not appear to be the issue here. It looks like postgres is already running. You have just the app.yml and not also a data.yml? ---

Hi Jay, How do I access or rebuild the data.yml? ---

I suspect that you don’t have one, and if that’s the case, then I don’t have any ideas of what the postgres issue is. ---

After rebooting the droplet, the rebuild went a little further and I ended up with same issue as posted here: [PostgreSQL Stuck During Rebuilding - #15 by haroldfy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-stuck-during-rebuilding/323434/15) I got back to the previous **3.4.0.beta1-dev** version of the forum with `./launcher start app`. Might wait for the next release and/or try and update to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. ---

I would spin up a new vm with a new os rather than attempting an upgrade of the os. ---
