Very recently signed up for a Codeberg account to evade our corporate overlords, and am encountering issues with verifying my email.
- In my account settings I request an activation link be sent to my email.
- It arrives within ~60 seconds.
- I use the link opening it in the same browser and device that it was requested from.
- I'm prompted for my password to verify and I do so.
- With my password entered I proceed and the page redirects to an "Internal Server Error 500" with no information other than the site version.
My immediate thought is that it's a case of my Firefox configuration/extensions getting in the way, or because I'm using a VPN.
So I disable my VPN and try again in Edge which I keep in a clean state that I use only for cases like this.
Same result, I'm redirected to an Internal Server Error 500 page.
I tried once more to ensure it wasn't just bad luck, nothing.
I then waited until the next day to try again thinking maybe the verification service was having trouble that day.
Still the same issue the next day though, and I can't think of anything on my end being the cause.
I do wonder if it the same as this issue on Forgejo from 9 months ago.
Perhaps my account had to be manually approved since I made it while on a VPN.
