Internal Server Error on Admin Area -> Settings -> General

Hello,
I am running GitLab on my little server for my little hobby projects. So this is what happened:

  • Last week I was still able to open Admin Area -> Settings -> General
  • There I enabled some sign-up restrictions (cannot remember which; isn’t important I think)
  • Then due to a stupid mistake I had to restore the postgresDb with a month-old dump
  • Now, whenever I try to open Admin Area -> Settings -> General, I get the ‘500 - Whoops, something went wrong on our end.’ Page
  • I am pretty sure that GitLab and the database are now out of sync .
  • In the production.log I find this:
productionlog

Can someone help me?

  • Do I have to add some missing tables to the database?
  • Is there a way to reset those sign-up restrictions?
  • Anything else I can do?

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

UPDATE: after updating to the latest version of GitLab (13.6.3 (857c6c6a6a9)) the problem is gone. I am pretty sure that the update-process itself fixed the inconsistency and the exact number of the version is not important, but of course I cannot be sure.
