Ok, so I don't know if this should be a bug. Tomás said to file one anyway. :) It does impact my ability to do pretty much anything with my Koha install.

I have a git install of Koha which I update using git pull/updatedatabase. No plack, no memcached.

For a couple of weeks, I haven't been able to change system preferences. When I try to save, it says "Internal Server Error, please reload the page". 

This is not the blank Internal Server Error you get when you have plack. It's a message that pops-up in a dark grey box (see attachment).

Is this using koha-gitify via koha-testing-docker or kohadevbox?

I think I've seen this where I've been working on the staff client and the OPAC, and I've logged out of the OPAC but then tried to save a system preference in the staff client and then got an error like this. It was because the session cookie was shared between the staff client and OPAC as I was using the same hostname with different ports.

That might not be relevant for you though.

Hi David,

No I'm not using docker nor devbox.

Ok. That's what you meant by "vintage" git install hehe. Well, I primarily use a "vintage" git install as well.

I haven't tested master recently with that particular install. I'll try to remember to take a look.

hehe! Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only one using vintage methods :)

Hi Caroline, did you find a solution to this problem?
Comment 6 David Cook 2023-12-10 22:26:49 UTC
I think we might not be supporting non-Plack anymore...

I imagine Caroline must be using koha-testing-docker these days as well?
