Studio's having trouble saving your work

[George Meghabghab]

I am running an instance of edx. I created a username. I am trying to create a course and I am getting the error:

Studio's having trouble saving your work

Any hints to hwy and how ti fix it.

[David Baumgold]

That is the generic error message for Studio — we’re going to need more information to understand what went wrong, and how to fix it. Is there a traceback that shows the error? Perhaps in a log file, or on the terminal?

You must get the stacktrace from your server console/log in order for anyone to help you.

I am getting the same error :-(

After installing a fresh instance of edx:

https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/Single-AWS-server-installation-using-Amazon-Machine-Image

looking at the logs ( sudo tail -f /edx/var/log/{lms,cms,nginx}/*log )

I am getting several errors which I am not sure what to do with

Uncaught exception from <class 'django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler'>

...

OperationFailure: command SON([('authenticate', 1), ('user', u'edxapp'), ('nonce', u'493d4f9520fa0e7e'), ('key', u'5c3ebb974009cef7f166ad5b288ea77d')]) failed: auth fails

Some more errors...

It seems the AMI I was using need some more LOVE :-)

The OperationFailure error is caused by the relatively recent pymongo module upgrade. The fix is in other threads but posted below:

cd /edx/app/edx_ansible/edx_ansible/playbooks && sudo /edx/app/edx_ansible/venvs/edx_ansible/bin/ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local run_role.yml -e 'role=mongo' -e 'mongo_create_users=True'
