Internal Server Error with seafile-tutorial.doc

Hi everyone,

I installed seafile server CE with docker and everything works except the file preview for the seafile-tutorial.doc. The preview says: Internal Server Error. However, I can download the file, upload other files, preview PDFs and images. But .doc or .docx files get an Internal Server Error (however I can upload or download them)

seahub.log has this error:

SOLVED:
removing this line in seahub_settings.py did the trick:

OFFICE_CONVERTOR_ROOT = 'http://office-preview:8089'

Not sure why it was there in the first place as I don’t have office set up anyways

We will check the issue.
