500 error on GitLab droplet

Posted on July 13, 2019

On a fresh GitLab one-click install1 I had the problem of saving admin settings. POST requests to /admin/application_settings were rejected with a 500 error.

This seemed to be an incorrect gitlab-secrets.json because reseting that solved the problem, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54216933/internal-server-error-500-while-accessing-gitlab-admin-runners

@markusarro thanks for the note. Please drop into https://forum.gitlab.com/ and let the Gitlab team know about the issue.
