Unable to access Admin UI - "Unknown Error"

Help
#1

Hi there!

I am running a self-hosted Ghost setup with Gatsby on the frontend. I used this link to get to my current set up: heroku
(Heroku/Cloudinary/JawsDB)

My issue is that I can’t log in. And when I check the Network tab, I see that I am not getting a set-cookie header in the response:

Screenshot 2020-06-30 at 02.22.03
Screenshot 2020-06-30 at 02.22.031364×866 99.7 KB

The sign in spinner is running but nothing is happening, except for the “Unknown Error” tag showing up in red.

Notable in Network tab:
ghost/api/v3/admin/users/me/?include=roles
(403 forbidden) - to be expected? Read that somewhere.

ghost/api/v3/admin/session
(500 internal server error) - request payload contains correct username/pw

Site: http://managecobuy.herokuapp.com/
Error happened day one after creating the ghost backend using the link above. 10 Posts were added and two users.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, what other information/insight can I provide to make it easier to pinpoint the issue?

Thank you!

Here is what the Server Logs when I enter username/pw and click “sign in”:

This is the pertinent line in the log you’ve posted:

Error: ER_TABLEACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: INSERT command denied to user 'h7c5ufh52o6n51ll'@'ec2-3-85-219-125.compute-1.amazonaws.com' for table 'brute'

You’ll need to look into your database permissions.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your help. You are right. After digging more into it, and connecting to the db with HeidiSQL I see that the DB is currently 5.5mb. The free JawsDB tier is limited to 5mb and will revoke INSERT permissions when this limit is reached. How wonderful.

Thanks again
