After the update I only get an error page

[pan]

I did the 2.8 update, but the only response from the server is a 500 error, with the page “This page is not correct” which has the error gif and " We’re sorry, but something went wrong on our end."

How do I see what the exact error is on my server?

journalctl -xf -u mastodon-*

Is not showing me any errors, just times when the services started up.

All services are running? Ruby version is updated to 2.6.1 or nor?

[pan]

All services are running. So I did

ruby -v

which gave me

ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-linux]

So, my ruby version was outdated.

I then ran

$ RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install 2.6.1
$ rbenv global 2.6.1
$ exit
$ systemctl restart mastodon-*

But the error page still persists.

Weird

Can i know exactly steps you have taken to update your instance?

and start all services one by one

systemctl start mastodon-web && systemctl start mastodon-streaming && systemctl start mastodon-sidekiq

[pan]

So went through the install steps again one by one, and got it to work using these commands exactly: (the major part was restarting the services one by one instead of using restart with a wildcard)

su - mastodon
cd ~/live
git fetch --tags
git checkout $(git tag -l | grep -v 'rc[0-9]*$' | sort -V | tail -n 1)
bundle install --deployment --without development test
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
exit
systemctl stop mastodon-*
su - mastodon
cd ~/live
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
exit
systemctl start mastodon-web && systemctl start mastodon-streaming && systemctl start mastodon-sidekiq

hmm That restart cmd sucks
