I am encountering a problem on my internal website. Everything was working fine until someone turned the server off, so I had to turn on the server via Docker. The site was up and running fine after that.
However, my colleagues quickly realized that they could not add files to the website, i.e. you first upload files to the site, select save and then it will save the uploaded file. Upon further inspection, I found out that you could upload files from some pages only, i.e. both pages 1 and 2 allow you to upload documents, but only page 2 accepts the upload request and successfully uploads it to the site; page 1 will attempt to upload and return saved successfully, but the files will not have been uploaded.
To provide some context to the situation, I inputted "sudo pkill -f uwsgi -9" before running the server again using Docker. More importantly, the internal website is vital for everyday operations and cannot be down under any circumstances, so I am a bit reluctant to mess with the server in fear of destroying whatever that can still be used. My colleagues are still getting by because they can upload from another page and still have access to the information on the website.
Besides that, the biggest problem is that I have only been in this job for 2 weeks and do not know the code base through and through. The handover process was also bad because the previous guy left 2 weeks prior to me starting this job. I have contacted him and shown him the problem. He told me that he was also unfamiliar with this problem and that the system was running fine the whole time.
The error is as follows:
[error when I try to upload from this page] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LnGWs.png [1]
Works fine here: [works from this page] [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5QhdT.png [2]
The problem is that I am on a wild goose chase and cannot identify the problem. Moreover, the error suggests that the code base has some error, which conflicts with what the previous guy told me, as I have also seen the system up and running for the past 2 weeks.
Would be very grateful for any ideas!
