RE: Create project fails, 500 Error in 8.10 and 8.2 - Added by Vitali . over 6 years ago

Hi

Can anyone help with this. It started with an error when creating new projects, but now the issue is for copy project as well. It was working fine in earlier versions. Not sure where the error is. Is it something to do with db? A bug in the code? Where should I look for possible solutions?

Here is the error when I try to create new project from Dashboard:

Just imported data and files.

Regards,

RE: Create project fails, 500 Error in 8.10 - Added by Nico Aymet about 6 years ago

Thank, I'll try to reinstall on new ubuntu.

Maybe it's linked to Ubuntu 16.04

RE: Create project fails, 500 Error in 10.0.3 - Added by Nico Aymet over 5 years ago

I continue to notice the same problem also on a new installation.

Now I migrate all to PostgreSQL, the server is Ubuntu 18.04, and openproject is the 10.0.3

All working ok, but creating new project.

Here the actual log:

RE: Create project fails, 500 Error in 10.0.3 - Added by Nico Aymet over 5 years ago

If someone have the same problem, using the CLI with the following command you can create a new project:

openproject run bundle exec rails runner 'Project.create! name: "Documentation", identifier: "a7-doc"'

Using the CLI I still notice the 500 internal error with the previous log.
