view job Server error: The server encountered

[satishdotpatel]

I have configured slurm-web using official guide and I can able to see GUI interface and my cluster information. But when I click on running job > view job then It encounter with errors. In my slurm cluster I didn't configured accounting (its disabled). Do you think its because of account is not enabled?

following error I am seeing in agent logs when I click on view job.

@satishdotpatel yes, accounting is required for Slurm-web. I should probably mention this more clearly in documentation.

@satishdotpatel I fixed this issue with 9efea58 which adds a clarification in the quickstart guide.
