Error Loading Page at login attemp; 500 error on POST #323

Closed apiontek closed 4 years ago

apiontek commented 4 years ago

I moved a working instance of BBS from an intel amd64 / Ubuntu 18.04 container on one machine to an aarch64 / Ubuntu 19.10 container on another machine.

Now when I try to login at /login, on hitting the Login button I just get "Error Loading Page" and nothing else happens. I've archived my data & started fresh with a clean unzip of BBS, still getting the error just trying to do first time login.

In server logs, resources are loading fine, but when it hits "POST /bbs/login/ HTTP/2.0" the result is 500 error.

installcheck.php shows no errors, just yellow for Apache & URL rewriting, but I'm not using Apache, I'm on nginx.

You could enable debug mode to get a) detailed error messages in the browser and b) log files. If your nginx configuration worked with the previous instance it is probably something in the environment that changed.

Thanks. Log file suggested a redis problem, because my php session handler is set to use redis, via a unix socket.

Turns out, when migrating, I forgot to do adduser www-data redis -- php session handling was broken altogether and I didn't know because I'd not thought to test it after migrating...

After adding www-data to the redis group and restarting, session handling, and BBS, started working again.

Thanks for the pointer to debug mode!
