Error when I tried to add permalinks manually
I can reproduce that error if I add a value to the URL field that I’ve already created a permalink for. In that case, I think the form is working as expected, but the error message is not very informative.
Are you getting this error any time you try to add a permalink, or is it only happening with specific permalinks?

You almost certainly want to be creating permalinks from the console, not the web interface, with something like
Permalink.find_or_create_by(url: 'some/path/you/like', topic_id: 123)
That way it won’t matter if you call it multiple times.
Note that if you instead do:
Permalink.find_or_create_by(url: '/some/path/you/like', topic_id: 123)
it will fail on subsequent calls because it’ll strip the leading / before it does the create.
And if you really do want to delete/change paths that you created wrong the first time, you’d do something like
p=Permalink.find_by(url: 'some/path/you/like')
p.destroy if p
