Gitlabs upgrade: getting 500 error on certain pages

Question

I am getting 500 errors on certain pages. Here are a few examples: /u/root, /merge_requests?assignee_id=&label_name=&milestone_id=&scope=created-by-me&sort=newest&state=closed, /admin

UPDATE

Here is a picture of both of the table columns: http://imageupper.com/gi/?galID=S0200010053W139568325644090&n=1&m=1

UPDATE I've gone into the logs and found this for one of the views that I am getting 500 error for:

Answer 1

If you have a NULL for the path in the namespaces table, don't delete it. There are probably projects referencing it's id. Give path a value you're comfortable with. We just put our company name in ours when we did the switch. Something like:

update namespaces set path = 'sixfoot' where path is null;

That might solve your problem.

If there are NULL values in the projects table for the namespace_id, then create a namespace in GitLab, then update projects set namespace_id={id the new namespace};.

That may not solve all your upgrade issues, but it should get the links in the views rendering again without a 500.
