What happened?

Description

The dashboard home page is not accessible due to this error after upgrading from Craft 4 Solo to Craft 5.

This project has been upgraded several times from version 2 -> 3 -> 4 over the years

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade from Craft 4 to Craft 5
2. Added bootstrap.php to root
3. Updated craft file in root
4. Updated index.php in webroot
5. Initially had an error saying there was an issue with a cookie which was resolved by adding a security key using php craft setup/security-key

Expected behavior

The dashboard should be accessible

Actual behavior

It throws an internal server error on the dashboard page. The front end is fully functional as is the rest of the backend (e.g. entries, assets etc.).

Thanks for reporting that! Just fixed for the next release.

You can get the fix now by changing your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to 5.x-dev as 5.0.4, and then run composer update.

Might go even further back then that! The only way (as far as I can tell) this could have happened is if you had a Quick Post widget that hadn’t been saved since before v1.2!

Great, thanks, very possible it was version 1 initially! I’m always a bit apprehensive posting an issue on github in case it’s just me being a numpty so glad that wasn’t the case on this occasion!🤣 Regards, Dylan
