Hi
This is my first Seafile installation and I cannot find the cause/error why it does not work. I will really appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this.
My setup in Ubuntu 20, Nginx, MariaDB 10.3.25
I followed these instructions: https ://manual.seafile.com/deploy/using_mysql/
But when I connect with my browser I get “Internal Server Error”
The logs:
cat controller.log

Doesn’t move when I access the URL in my webbrowser that display “Internal Server Error”.
Any advise what else I could try or look at?
I noticed that the config is port 8000 and in nginx it is 8082. Are they supposed to be the same?
The content of my gunicorn.conf.py is
import os
daemon = True
workers = 5
# default localhost:8000
bind = "127.0.0.1:8000"
# Pid
pids_dir = '/opt/seafile/pids'
pidfile = os.path.join(pids_dir, 'seahub.pid')
# for file upload, we need a longer timeout value (default is only 30s, too short)
timeout = 1200
limit_request_line = 8190
It is still the default settings I have not touched.
My nginx config is:
log_format seafileformat '$http_x_forwarded_for $remote_addr [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" $upstream_response_time';
server {
listen 80;
server_name cloud.*****.net.za;
rewrite ^ https://$http_host$request_uri? permanent; # force redirect http to https
# Enables or disables emitting nginx version on error pages and in the "Server" response header field.
server_tokens off;
}

(I just masked out **** some sensitive info)
@Cisco thank you for pointing out my error. I changed it to:
location /media {
root /opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seahub;
}
but it made no difference after the nginx restart.
I changed the binding address as instructed. I also turned off my firewall just in case it interferes, but unfortunately I still get “Internal Server Error”.
This is on port 8000.
I have dropped all the databases and deleted all the seafile files and restart the installation but this time with the old version 7 server. After the installation I got at least some error messages (I think version 8 has a bug here that does not log error messages) that showed the some captcha module was missing (although I did install it). After a few hours of Googling I found this command solved it for me:
pip3 install --ignore-installed --timeout=3600 Pillow captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy psd-tools django-pylibmc python3-ldap
The important part is the --ignore-installed parameter.
@Cisco Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.
- Which version are you using?
- Would you consider version 8 stable? Should I give it another shot or stay at version 7 (which currently works).
- If you are using version 8, do you see your Seafile log entries. Mine is just blank and that is why I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I downgraded. If I ever run into another issue again, I would at least like to see an error message not just “Internal Server Error”.
@Cisco
Nevermind, I see you are using version 7.1.9.
- How did you change the theme? I didn’t know you could do that? It looks pretty cool. Is is that the difference between the Pro and CE?
- Also I noticed your Wiki is working. Mine just loads forever for some reason. I will probably open a new topic for that but it is not urgent. It is actually a bonus that Seafile can do that too. I just want to securely sync files on my devices over the internet for now.
- I’m using 7.1.5 CE. Where did you download 7.1.9?
