Update [1.21.0] broke my app

[murgero]

Not sure if this is affecting other users, but [1.21.0] broke my app and it no longer starts. It just keeps looping on ORM init (Database initialization?). Eventually gets to a "Connection refused by localhost" bit.

I am willing to share logs in DMs to anyone who can help, thanks!

You can send a support ticket for that app, including the logs. The latest updates contains quite a few refactoring bits of gitea.

It seems to not be incredibly wide-spread because I don't have issues yet (knock on wood)

FWIW, my gitea is fine as well.

check your services.. if the DB is having issues, the apps using the DB will too.

[murgero]

@robi Services are good - just this app having issues - I'm at work but I'll open a ticket later @nebulon

Following up from the support ticket. It seems like the root issue is some custom template missing:

panic: open /app/data/custom/templates/explore/organizations.tmpl: not a directory

After some casual reading of gitea code, it seem they use this template for the organizations home page - https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/9c4601bdf8369ed72944085e3952111cf4aeea11/routers/home.go#L33

Could it be that your config uses organizations as the home page or something?

[girish]

I added this to app.ini but that doesn't break it.

[server]
LANDING_PAGE = organizations

Also, my custom directory is totally empty. Do you have anything else in your app.ini? I think it is some app bug, would be great to figure out and report upstream.

@girish My ini is just setup to make the whole instance private, nothing custom in there.

Though there is a file in my custom templates folder called "explore" I'm going to remove and see if that helps.

[murgero]

@murgero Removed the blank template file from the custom folder and it worked without a hitch. I see this is marked as solved already but you can close the internal ticket if you haven't already.
