I setup Discourse in localhost, but in production mode, with Passenger & Nginx. Action mailer is setup with mailtrap.io. I create account and get activation email. I click to the link and is brought to activate page with the “Activate your account” button. However, when I click to that button, nothing happens. No message shows, no redirection. From that on, if I go to any URL in the site, I only get this: https://i.imgur.com/wxWQUmW.png. The site stops working. Did I do something wrong? — Update 1 — I found this in log/production.log: Job exception: Wrapped ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique: PG::UniqueViolation: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "index_uploads_on_sha1" DETAIL: Key (sha1)=(48d15c70043e5c6da051b473073a85d7e893c9d9) already exists. : INSERT INTO "uploads" ("created_at", "filesize", "height", "origin", "original_filename", "sha1", "updated_at", "url", "user_id", "width") VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10) RETURNING "id" — Update 2 — On Firefox, if I open home page of my Discourse in tab 1, and open activation link in tab 2, the tab 2 will face the issue as described above. While in the tab 1, if I reload, the page become hanging (with busy JavaScript) and make the whole Firefox window freeze (CPU usage increases). When the issue happens, if I open my Discourse in another browser (Chromium), the site works as normal. I think there may be something wrong with cookies.

It is for try. It runs on my localhost for me to test before setup in live site.

That’s the content, except as plain text. Something’s wrong.

I’ve just added more info (see Update 2).

Activate button doesn't work

Sounds like a busted install to me. Is this for development or for a live site?
