Greetings,

I’ve just setup a dradis server and I am trying to attach txt files into the nodes. However once I select the files I wish to upload and try to press the button to start nothing happens (no errors, anything). Is there a way to troubleshoot this issue? I am looking at the production.log and I nothing appears.

Thanks in advance

Hi @mp182,

Please `git pull` both `dradisframework` and `dradis-theme_snowcrash`. This should be fixed now.

HTH,  
Daniel

Hi etd,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I am trying to do the GIT install following these steps [GitHub - dradis/dradis-legacy: This is a LEGACY repo head to](https://github.com/dradis/dradisframework) , but while I run ruby ./setup I get the following error

== Preparing database ==  
rake aborted!  
rake aborted!  
ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Have you found this before?

Kind Regards

I haven’t no, but can you edit `./bin/setup` and add `--trace` to all the `rake` commands?

Hopefully that’ll give you more verbose errors.

This seems related to the system locale? Could any of you confirm?
