Additional info

Unclear if it matters, but on the system PHP is running using php-fpm with the chroot parameter enabled.

Thanks :+1:

Indeed, the try-catch is missing. This should make the page usuable again and drop the second error message. However, the first one is emitted by php and something you have to live with^1.

Wow, thanks for the quick fix! I'm fine with the error message popping up in the logs when that page is opened.
