Invoice ninja server 500 internal error
-
Just tried to reproduce this, but our company instance renders PDFs just fine. Not sure if this makes any difference, but do you use the flutter or the react version of the webui?
@nebulon I checked the IN app in the Cloudron demo and in the env file you have it as:
NINJA_ENVIRONMENT=selfhost PDF_GENERATOR=snappdfHowever, PDF's are not being generated in the demo.
On my instance it was (before I messed around with it today):
NINJA_ENVIRONMENT=selfhost PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=falseNow, I have it as:
NINJA_ENVIRONMENT=selfhost PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=false PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninjaIt's working fine this way. I'm pretty sure I'm going to bite my tongue again. This issue seems to reappear every few updates and I can't remember how we're getting it fixed/patched.

@AartJansen so you are seeing the same error message in the logs as the upstream forum one ? @humptydumpty is showing some other error though.
@girish these are the logs I see when attempting to view or generate a pdf

Per upstream recommendation, in the .env file I've changed from FALSE to hosted_ninja:
PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=hosted_ninjaNow, PDF's are being
generatededit: it's a hit or miss, but my emails are being sent correctly
This leaves the permission issue but I'm also getting a new warning: snappdf not enabled
@humptydumpty How do I find the health check ?
-
OK, I added the
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja
line to the env file, restarted the app and its working again.
Thanks humptydumpty. -

Thanks humptydumpty.@AartJansen No problem. The health check can be found in the bottom left corner by clicking on the i icon.
-
Hmpf.
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninjaworks, but it feels wrong to add a third-party provider to my invoicing app. An app where the creation of PDFs at the end of the month does not work is also a problem.
-
@girish Do I need to undo my temp fix that I did above after updating?
@humptydumpty I have removed
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninjaand can confirm that the PDF creation works.
Thank you Cloudron team. -
@luckow Invoices/quotes emails are not being sent to the client when I remove
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninjaCreate a fake client & invoice and send it to yourself. Is it working?
A tip I received from the upstream dev is to BCC yourself by going to:
IN dashboard > settings > Advanced Settings > Email Settings >BCC Email
-
@girish email delivery doesn't work for me unless I keep
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninjain the env file. PDF generation works fine with or without that line now. Should I report this upstream as a new/separate issue? -
oh crap neither does mine!
I've sent quite a few reminders today, and new invoices, I take it they are just failing silently and not queued anywhere? -
You are right. There is something wrong with sending emails. I tried to send offers to my own e-mail address and checked https://my.example.org/#/emails-eventlog.
The emails are going out, but to a completely different email address.
Investigating (Invoice Ninja 5.10.2) -
ok. a few hours later.
- Fresh install of invoice ninja seems to work.
- my updated instance sends email exclusively to the mail address from user 1.
- dashboard Recent Activity shows the problem
sending mails works
Stephan Luckow emailed invoice RG-240481 for ACME inc. to Jane Doesending mails does not work anymore
Stephan Luckow emailed quote 0023-0052 for ACME inc. totois empty. Maybe there is a default setting in the code, if no "to" is set, it will be sent to the administrator account (or user 1).I have restored old versions of IN from backups.
Up to v1.13.5, sending mails works. In v1.13.6 I have a problem with logging into my account. Next I will test v1.13.7.Side quest: In the latest version (in my updated instance) it is impossible to change the mail address of user 1 via the user interface.
-
In my case, the problem starts with the emails in v1.13.7. Maybe in v1.13.6, but I can't log in in that version.
Next: updating from v1.13.5 -
The moment I restore the settings (broken updated instance -> fresh instance), the new instance shows the same behavior. Data is not a problem.
-
restoring from a working v1.13.5 export -> fresh v1.14.2 produces same behaviour. the moment i restore settings, bam.
comparing json files is not one of my daily tasks, so I decide to do that:- install a fresh IN
- import data only
- manually click configuration options.
Fun fact: It is possible to set a password that starts with a space for the login. ONLY for login. After you have logged in and your action requires a password confirmation, the leading space will be removed, and your password is incorrect.
