[Solved] "Page unavailable" error when upgading from 6.0.9 to 6.2.5 and 6.3.2

Seafile Server
1

Tried to upgrade to 6.2.5. The scripts to 6.2 errored, but I was able to fix with instructions here:

Now the web interface is broken. As instructed, I changed my Apache config from fcgi://127.0.0.1:8000/ to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and I now get a login screen, but after login I get the error:

Page unavailable
Sorry, but the requested page is unavailable due to a server hiccup.
Our engineers have been notified, so check back later.

I upgraded to 6.3.2 to see if this helped anything, but I get the same error.

Looking in seahub.log:

I’ve tried searching for solutions to the

AttributeError: ‘SeafServerThreadedRpcClient’ object has no attribute ‘get_group_repos_by_user’

error, but have not found anything useful.

What should me next step be to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Well this is embarrassing! I was looking back at one of my old posts from a year ago, and it turns out I was having the same issue (just a different error message):

I looked in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and removed (renamed/disabled) any ccnet, seafile, or seaserv directories. After restarting seafile, the web interface is working again!

I’m not sure why this keeps happening to me, but hopefully this post will help someone else with the same issue.

Cheers!
