Internal server error trying to access site_settings

I was changing some settings on my install but now I can’t access the admin/site_settings page at all, and just get 500s.

The last thing I did before the issue was change the max post size setting to an arbitrarily large number (9999999999999999999).

As far as I can tell, all other pages on the site are working fine, including log pages, which tell me I’m getting an argument error:

ArgumentError (val)

Here’s the backtrace:

This is a bug we should fix … let me see if there is a simple fix here.

I am definitely tired of support requests involving integers of size 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.

So are we talking about setting an upper limit validation on integer related fields? Just asking. :smile:

Ok, @techapj fixed this – we validate integers to proper values now.
