500 Error on /api/input

[chrszlz]

I'm trying to use Compass + Overland and am encountering 500 Internal Service Error's when attempting to POST to /api/input while running in MAMP. I see this same issue when I test locally with Postman. It seems the server is rejecting the request due to invalid content types - "Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/html".

Is there a way to set acceptable content types for the server or is there something else causing this issue?

When testing with Postman, if I send the body GeoJSON data as text/html the server returns a 200 but just can't parse it, if I send as application/json it fails with a 500 even though it's seemingly correctly-formed.

Here's the full printed error Overland's side:

Can you get more info on what the server says the 500 error is? Something from the MAMP logs.

[chrszlz]

Thanks for the quick response - I don't get any errors logged from MAMP nor from the Console in Postman. All I get back is the 500 response and the "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." error page.

I'm not sure if it's relevant but I get the same result whether or not artisan's queue listener is running. Do you have any tips as to where I to continue debugging here?

[aaronpk]

check the log for the app, should be in storage/logs/laravel.log or something.

It sounds like maybe the app isn't finished getting set up? You need a database and optionally Redis. I'm betting that log will tell you more.

Does Compass not use mysql by default for the job queue? I have mysql up and running correctly I believe as far as storage is concerned.

Are there any red flags we should be looking for - here are the tail'd logs for the 500 error from lumen.log:

Thanks, I need to see the top of that stack for it to be useful. Scroll up to where it says #1 and that should provide more context for this error.

Looks like the default config file has CACHE_DRIVER=redis so it's trying to use redis as a cache. I'm guessing that's the error here. It looks like there is a database cache driver if you don't want to use redis, but that'll involve creating a new table. I should probably just add that to the repo as the default.
