[selfhosting][proxy] 500 Not Found after login

[mlawren]

I'm attempting to run PostOwl locally, proxied behind lighttpd. After submitting the login form PostOwl responds with a 500 Not Found error and a link to "Start over" at the root url. Has anyone run this configuration before and have some hints?

Thanks for reporting this,

Is this one different from #44? The 500 error is expected if the password is incorrect. But perhaps it's related to the ORIGIN issue being discussed in the other thread?

This was definately a separate issue to #44. My original description is incorrect: For this issue I am in fact querying the dev server directly, not behind a proxy (to avoid the whole cross-site POST error).

But it turns out my issue was wrong password (fat fingered in the .env file), so this discussion can stop. Thanks for the quick response.

p.s. I'm not sure that generating a 500 error on wrong password is very helpful. In fact, "downright misleading" kind of springs to mind :) Perhaps a 401 or 403?

Thanks for the update. Agreed on the unhelpful error - I've opened: #47
