Hello everyone, if we try to move a post from one thread to another, we sometimes get a ‘500 internal server error’ Is there some tutorial how to troubleshoot issues like this? Where i can find the log files to get details about the issue? Thx für every reply :slight_smile: Greetings, Ronny

[תמונה] Moving posts returns 502 bad gateway installation Okay, so the error 500 should be fixed on latest and I just commited another fix so that the actual error appears in logs in case there’s another bug in there. If you get an error 502 then the moving takes too long…

We are also seeing 500 errors when moving posts. I managed to trigger it by moving a post to another topic, then attempting to move it back to the original topic. Here are the details: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 at Function.parse [as parseJSON] (<anonymous>) at t…

Thank you for your reply! In the meantime i found the causing problem in the Table post_timings in the database. In this table is stored, to which post the users already read in the threads . Under (for me) unknown circumstances it can happen, that the server tries to write entries in the table, tha…

Thanks Ronny, and yikes! I don’t think my 10k users will be very happy about losing their read history.

I just tried to reproduce this error in my local environment. I was able to move a post to a new topic and then move it back. [תמונה] rldml: In the meantime i found the causing problem in the Table post_timings in the database. In this table is stored, to which post the users already read in th…

I take a look, if i have my old logs about the datatable error. But the deletion of the table content fixed the problem for sure (with the side effects i mentioned)

Sorry, i’ve searched for it, but cannot find it anymore… :confused:

For what it’s worth, I’m also getting this 500 error when trying to move a particular post from one thread to another. I haven’t tried anything fancy, so if someone from Discourse wants logs, let me know what to look for and I’ll see if I can do that.

Thanks, I’ll try it when the next beta ships.
