It looks to be the same error as this thread: [Error Trying to Start Import Process - Xenforo to Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-trying-to-start-import-process-xenforo-to-discourse/43258) but it devolves into nothing.
Can anyone shed some light as to what I might be doing wrong or is there any issue with the import script for XF?
Kind regards,

That sounds like you don’t have all the gems installed; what does `bundle show railties` say?

You’re not using the discourse account. Run `cat `which rails` ` and copy the `sudo` command line out of that file.

Hey guys, thanks for getting back to me on this issue!

```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse> bundle show railties
Could not find gem 'railties'.
```
I will admit, I installed the `railties` gem and then re-ran the above command and got the same result.

```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse> cat `which rails`
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
#
# The application 'railties' is installed as part of a gem, and
# this file is here to facilitate running it.
#
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0.a"
if ARGV.first
str = ARGV.first
str = str.dup.force_encoding("BINARY") if str.respond_to? :force_encoding
if str =~ /\A_(.*)_\z/ and Gem::Version.correct?($1) then
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end
end
gem 'railties', version
load Gem.bin_path('railties', 'rails', version)
```
(Note, I got the same result under the ‘discourse’ user)
Maybe I botched something?

Well, that’s rather strange. What did the `bundle install --no-deployment` step print when you ran it?

Hi Matt, this is what I got. Should I be running this as the `root` user within the container or the `discourse` user?
```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle install --no-deployment
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root users on this machine.
Using mysql2 0.4.4
Using bundler 1.13.0
Bundle complete! 1 Gemfile dependency, 2 gems now installed.
Gems in the group development were not installed.
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle show railties
Could not find gem 'railties'.
```
Kind regards,

I think I may be onto something here.
In Step 8 of this tutorial: [Migrate a XenForo forum to Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-xenforo-to-discourse/45232) , it says to run `echo "gem 'mysql2'" >Gemfile`
I looked in the `Gemfile` only to see this in the file:
```plaintext
gem 'mysql2'
```
So I went to GitHub and got the latest `Gemfile` and I added the `gem 'mysql2'` to the file.
Ran `bundle install --no-deployment` and it installed a BUNCH of stuff (Too many to copy and paste here) (Side note: Do not use tmux and go into the container..it didn’t work at all 😛 )
But it ended with this:
```plaintext
Bundle complete! 100 Gemfile dependencies, 180 gems now installed.
Gems in the group development were not installed.
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
Post-install message from certified:
IMPORTANT: Remember to use the included executable `certifed-update` regularly to keep your certificate bundle up to date.
```
```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle show railties
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/railties-4.2.7.1
```
That looks good in my eyes.
So it looks like the Step 8 in that tutorial above is incorrect.
But when all seems good in the world, I get this:
```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle exec script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb
bundler: not executable: script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb
```
Do I need to `chmod +x` or something? (I don’t have a lot of experience in Ruby to know lol)
Thanks for all the help so far!
EDIT: Chmod X’d the xenforo.rb and now I’m getting this:
```plaintext
root@titan-app:/var/www/discourse# bundle exec script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb
script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb: 1: script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb: require: not found
script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb: 3: script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

As `discourse`. The console output you pasted says it nice and clearly, too:
```
Don't run Bundler as root.
```
> [@Padraig](#):

Hmm, yeah, that’s never going to end well. Fixed the howto.
> [@Padraig](#):
>

Unfortunately, `chmod +x` won’t work because the file doesn’t have a “shebang” (`#!/usr/bin/ruby` or similar) to tell the system what language it’s in. I’ve just changed the howto to run ruby explicitly; if you do that, it’ll work better (or at least break _differently_).

I think that on this overwrite Gemfile thing, you’ve got some incompatible bundle. I would try a rebuild to get things back to a working state. Backup all manual changes inside the container before, it’s gonna be wiped.

Well, after all that… I rebuilt the app, went in and followed all the instructions to a T…It magically worked (Reading is hard some days 😛 )
```plaintext
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb
```
Step 10 to the XF tutorial needs to be updated to reflect with the above line!
Anyway, the final result was:
```plaintext
updating featured topic users
966 / 966 (100.0%)
updating featured topics in categories
53 / 53 (100.0%)
updating user topic reply counts
241 / 241 (100.0%)
resetting topic counters
966 / 966 (100.0%)
Done (00h 04min 55sec)
```
Thanks to everyone for the assistance 🙂

So without the `RAILS_ENV=production` it didn’t work? That’s surprising, because that should already be set in the environment.

Pretty much. Funnily enough, the correct command:
`RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/xenforo.rb`
was in as a comment in the `xenforo.rb` file but not in the documentation in the linked above.
It only caught my eye this evening.
