## Troubleshooting issues with Discourse environments
|
|
|
|
Are you having trouble setting up Discourse? Here are some basic things to
|
|
check before reaching out to the community for help:
|
|
|
|
1. Are you running Ruby 2.0 or later?
|
|
|
|
Discourse is designed for Ruby 2.0 or later. You can check your version by
|
|
typing `ruby -v` (as the discourse user) and checking the response for
|
|
something like:
|
|
|
|
`ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-linux]`
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Are you on Postgres 9.3 or later with HSTORE enabled?
|
|
|
|
You can check your postgres version by typing `psql --version`. To see if
|
|
hstore is installed, open a session to postgres and type `\dx` and see if
|
|
hstore is listed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Have you run `bundle install`?
|
|
|
|
We frequently update our dependencies to newer versions. It is a good idea
|
|
to run `bundle install` every time you check out Discourse, especially if it's
|
|
been a while.
|
|
|
|
1. Did you run `bundle update`?
|
|
|
|
Don't. Running `bundle update` will download gem versions that we haven't
|
|
tested with. The Gemfile.lock has the gem versions that Discourse currently
|
|
uses, so `bundle install` will work. If you ran update, then you should
|
|
uninstall the gems, run `git checkout -- Gemfile.lock` and then run `bundle
|
|
install`.
|
|
|
|
1. Have you migrated your database?
|
|
|
|
Our schema changes fairly frequently. After checking out the source code,
|
|
you should run `rake db:migrate`.
|
|
|
|
1. Do the tests pass?
|
|
|
|
If you are having other problems, it's useful to know if the test suite
|
|
passes. You can run it by first using `rake db:test:prepare` and then `rake
|
|
spec`. If you experience any failures, that's a bad sign! Our master branch
|
|
should *always* pass every test.
|
|
|
|
1. Have you updated host_names in your database.yml?
|
|
|
|
If links in emails have localhost in them, then you are still using the
|
|
default `host_names` value in database.yml. Update it to use your site's host
|
|
name(s).
|
|
|
|
1. Are you having problems bundling:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
|
|
An error occurred while installing active_model_serializers (0.7.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
|
|
Make sure that `gem install active_model_serializers -v '0.7.0'` succeeds before bundling.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Try this in console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
|
|
$ export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And/or this in top of `Gemfile`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if RUBY_VERSION =~ /1.9/
|
|
Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
|
|
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
Check your ~/discourse/log/production.log file if you are getting HTTP 500
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
Some common situations:
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::Error: ERROR: column X does not exist`
|
|
**Solution**: run `db:migrate` task to apply migrations to the database
