Could not create paste: Error saving paste. Sorry. (1.7.2 and later) about privatebin HOT 6 CLOSED

Since you guys mention using a database backend: Have you seen this topic in the 1.7.2 release discussion? In short, either:

• ensure your database user has permissions to upgrade the schema
• or perform the schema & version upgrade manually (this is the safer choice, but more tedious)

We do rarely change the schema, but the 1.7.2 release contained a cleanup of an unused column in one of the tables. The last time a release contained a schema change was with 1.3. Therefore I would not necessarily advise you to add a GRANT to your user, just be aware of this and check the doc/Installation.md for any changes in the database area upon upgrades.

You should have gotten a PDO exception thrown, though, and logged somewhere. If it didn't end up in your usual webserver or PHP error logs, maybe it bubbled up into journalctl or primary syslog file?

Same on https://bin.infini.fr/ tested also with bootstrap & bootstrap5 themes. I don't get any error in php logs with error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT same with error_reporting = E_ALL

• we use MySQL to store pastes
• I've checked folder permissions and also made a clean of corrupted pastes found by bin/administration - s.
• ctype extension is also enabled

Bug seems also present on https://pbinka.duckdns.org/

Did you check the (file system) permissions are correct? Also was this a fresh installation or an update, given you mention a different older instance?
See also previous similar issues: https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/issues?q=is%3Aissue+Error+saving+paste+is%3Aclosed It's usually a permission problem.

In general what is the setup? Docker?

Hi rugk,

thanks for your information - but I don't think that it's a permission problem. - as soon as I copy the old files it's working (same file/data-owner - 4 sure!!!) - as soon as I put the 1.7.3 files - the error occurs. Therefore I created a dev-subdomain to test a lot.

• 1.7.1 - working -> replace by 1.7.3 files: not working
• 1.7.3 new installation - not working -> replace by 1.7.1 files: working again
• 1.7.1 new installation - working -> replacing files by 1.7.3 files: not working

if you have any other ideas - I'm ready to check it!

unfortunately there are no entries in the logfiles - it's like searching in the dark without any light...

It's installed in a "classic" environment - server configured with plesk - nginx proxy -> apache - with php 8.3.7 and MariaDB database

Same here, no docker, permissions and owners checked, and also a config with nginx proxy / apache with php-fpm 8.1 and a mariadb database.
