I used softaculous to staging my active installation of invoiceninja to be able to update my 5.3.10 to 5.3.22 in a test environment first. I can login as a “normal” user but not as a user with admin permission. (error 500)
I also tried to change the value of the “normal” to is_admin = 1 in the database table. After that this user can’t login either. What is the difference between a normal user and an admin which causes this issue.
It sounds like you have overwritten the .env file which contains the APP_KEY - this is required to encrypt / decrypt data. if you have a backup of the .env you’ll want to rollback and use the correct .env
Im also having this issue, I tired the following solutions above and didn’t work. Im able to login with normal users but not admin. Any other solutions?
