I have been running Gitea on my server with no issues for several months. Recently I logged in and navigated to the Site Administration page, and received a 500 Internal Server Error response. I tried restarting both the Gitea and Apache services with no luck. I do not see any error messages in the logs for either (there are not even log files present in the Gitea logs directory). I have verified that my database service (SQL Server for Linux) is still running. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Could you please explain how you are running Gitea? The log files have to be somewhere and it depends on your installation method.
Certainly. I installed Gitea from binary on a Fedora 34 server. Here is my config file with sensitive information removed:

change RUN_MODE=dev and then refresh the page, it will display the error detail.
I did so, and got the following error message:
An error occurred:
template: admin/dashboard:8:90: executing “admin/dashboard” at : invalid value; expected string
I found this page indicating that this is a bug that was fixed in 1.16.1 (I am currently running 1.16.0). I am going to try updating and see if that fixes the problem.
Hi!
Same here, running the latest and greatest version (docker way): 1.17.0+rc2
template: admin/repo/list:48:25: executing "admin/repo/list" at <.Owner.HomeLink>: error calling HomeLink: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
Hi!
Templates? No that I’m aware of…
I guess I’m using it plain-vanilla
I just found out now that “Explore” gives the same error:
template: explore/repo_list:29:19: executing “explore/repo_list” at <.Owner.Visibility.IsPrivate>: nil pointer evaluating *user.User.Visibility
Please confirm you haven’t a customized template. And since v1.17.0 is out, please upgrade to that version.
My current version is 1.17.3, There are still problems.
I migrated gitea, and then this problem occurred, and the organization I created disappeared
I think maybe you have a custom template?
Hi!
Version 1.17.4 and nothing has changed:
And before someone ask again: there’s no custom template.
UPDATE (for some reason I’m limited to 3 replies on the same topic. WHY???)
By the way (and I don’t know if this is relevant or no), on my first message (Jul 26) I was running Gitea in a docker.
Now, I’m running Gitea in a jail in FreeBSD.
Regards.
I am absolutely confused by this: How do all of you manage to be logged out while visiting the admin page?
Because that’s what this error message translates to…
For the explore page I can at least understand it as you don’t need to be signed in for that, but for the admin page?
