The wiki at https://codeberg.org/pEp/pEpEngine/wiki is no longer usable. After I committed a change to the wiki via git the system could no longer display any page, showing an Internal server error message instead.

Regarding a change, since when did this start happening exactly?

Before I added (and then removed) foo, which was a test to see if by making any change I could work around the issue. So I think that the commit that broke the system was 193ebff651d723174ccf3db0b470adea6757dd06

By the way, I am noticing now some file renames that happened by mistake. I will undo those:

• engine%3A%3Aoffline-transport.md => engine%3-a%3-aoffline-transport.md
• engine%3A%3Aonline-transport.md => engine%3-a%3-aonline-transport.md
• engine%3A%3Auncategorised-development-themes%3A%3Aextracting-keys.md => engine%3-a%3-auncategorised-development-themes%3-a%3-aextracting-keys.md
• mixnet--old-document.md => mixnet-old-document.md

It turns out that undoing those renaming did solve the issue.

I believe that there is a bug, but it is not what I initially though: it has to do with files containing % characters (or escapes) in their names.

You may close the issue if you want: the problem is not urgent for me; however you may want to look into it for the future.

Thanks a lot for your work.

@lucasaiu Sorry for the late reply, but I find this information immensely helpful and this should definitely be looked at.

This was pretty easy to reproduce. If Forgejo can't decode the filename, it will 500 out. Not sure what the best way to handle the situation would be, but 500ing out is most definitely not the best way.

Hello, I'm having a similar 500 Internal Server Error problem with my wiki at https://codeberg.org/flytek/flytek-bot.wiki

Every time I try to add a page from the web UI, it faults with a code 500 error. I tried to clone the wiki repo (flytek-bot.wiki.git), but every time I push some changes, the wiki breaks. The only way to make it "work" (that is, load the page without erroring) is to delete all files and commit the deletion. No matter how I call my files or what I write into them, every time I push a change, it breaks the wiki.

I think the problem is that I have two remote branches, main and master, and I cannot figure out how to get rid of one of them (preferably master). Every time I issue a git command that is supposed to delete the branch, git answers me:

remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the next
remote: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing confusion.
remote:
remote: You can set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' configuration variable to
remote: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting the
remote: current branch, with or without a warning message.
remote:
remote: To squelch this message, you can set it to 'refuse'.
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
To https://codeberg.org/flytek/flytek-bot.wiki.git
 ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://codeberg.org/flytek/flytek-bot.wiki.git'

I tried to google the error, but it looks like everyone is suggesting to use the remote's web interface (which for this repo doesn't exist (right?)) to change the main/protected branch so I can freely delete one of them

Edit: apparently I can edit the home file Home.md and the wiki homepage will display just fine, but if I create a new page (eg. custom commands.md), it faults with an error 500. Maybe it is not related to the branches, but to something else. Either way, I can't figure out how to use the wiki without breaking it :p

I also experience this problem. Any page I created hits an error 500. There was an issue with a file that had a ':' in it's name. However, even with it removed or renamed, I can't add new pages (via web interface or via git).

Edit: I also have an issue with having a 'main' and 'master' branch.
