GitLab CE (8.0.4) "new project" fails with 500

[Urs Liska]

I have GitLab 8.0.4 installed from Omnibus packages on an Ubuntu 14.04 server. Suddenly I can't create new projects anymore. The last significant thing I did was creating a new group (but I don't feel this should be part of the problem). The last new project is 27 days old, so it may be that there has been a GitLab update in between (but I don't really know that).

When clicking on the "New Project" menu item the system responds with the `500` error page, and the respective entry in `production.log` is

    Started GET "/projects/new" for 88.66.154.89 at 2015-10-19 11:55:13 +0200
    Processing by ProjectsController#new as HTML

I did update GitLab through APT, and I did `gitlab-cfg reconfigure`, both without any improvement.

Somehow this error message (`ActionView::Template::Error ...`) looks like indicating a bug, but I don't know. Any help greatly appreciated.

I am having exactly the same issue. I see that nobody has responded - were you able to get it working, and if so, how?

Sorry of being no help - but it simply started working again, no idea why ...

After upgrading from 8.2.1 to 8.2.2, it is working again.
