An Internal error occured while decrypting the password from passbolt

I have migrated my passbolt old version to new version. But the new version is configured on the new server. All the data are restored perfectly but now when I try to decrypt, copy or export any password, it gives me the error: An internal error has occurred.

To solve the same I tried running below command which threw some errors:
sudo -u www-data /bin/cake migrations migrate

OUTPUT:

  • /etc/passbolt/Migrations
    using seed paths
  • /etc/passbolt/Seeds

    using adapter mysql
    using database passbolt

Hi @sayujya Welcome to the forum!

A recent post from another user - possibly related? An Internal Error has occurred (Firefox)

Hello @garrett I tried the same steps but got the error as mentioned above.

Check this screenshot:

@sayujya We’ll need more info like old version, new version, which OS/install and what update method you are following, thanks.

I was before running with the 2.04 version on the Ubuntu 18.04 server. Then I changed it on new Ubuntu 20.04 server with the latest verison of passbolt and added the backups in there.

I uploaded the old database from the old server to the new server.

@sayujya Just to confirm, the upgrade process you followed is this one here correct? Passbolt Help | Migrate passbolt CE from install scripts to Ubuntu package

Yes this is the correct one @garrett

@sayujya And there are no errors in the console?

Hi !

Can you share the output of these commands:

sudo -u www-data bin/cake migrations status
sudo -u www-data bin/cake passbolt healthcheck
sudo -u www-data bin/cake passbolt datacheck --hide-success-details

Thanks,

@_jc please check below outputs:

It is weird, as account_settings table migrations didn’t pass, but the table seems to exists :thinking:

If you have backups, I’d try to drop the account_settings table, then run migration command again.

Will I loose any data?

I assume you have backups :slight_smile:

On the other hand, the migration for the account_settings table has not been run. I’m pretty sure this table is empty on your server, so you can delete this table and only this table.

To check its content:

SELECT * FROM account_settings;

It should return 0 rows.

Drop it:

DROP TABLE account_settings;

Then run migrations again:

sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake migrations migrate --no-lock" www-data


SHould I backup and delete?? Or it must be something else making the issue??

@AnatomicJC I backed up the data and dropped the account_settings table.

Got the new error now.

Hi,

It is the same story, you have to drop the resource_types table. This happens because you have installed a new passbolt with its new tables, then you restored your old database who don’t contains the new tables. So all new tables have to be deleted.

@AnatomicJC Headed towards success!! Thanks to you! I cleared resource_types, transfers and avatars table and boom!! I am able to copy passwords now… But there is a bit thing happening now.

When I try to decrpyt the password, I am getting little more information… something like this.

{“description”:“Password for gmail account is also same.”,“password”:“XXXXXXX”}

Great ! :+1:

You are getting more information because description field is encrypted by default:

@AnatomicJC this is an abnormal behavior. It won’t autfill the correct password then and also it should copy only password not with description.
