Hi all,

I tried upgrading from 4.0.7 to 4.1.4 and even tried a completely fresh install of 4.1.4 on a brand new VPS and I'm still getting an error when uploading files. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The error is reproducing on multiple different browsers and image types. All composer packages are updated. Rebooted multiple times.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

In your External Storage you are using "endpoint" which Chevereto expects to be a URL https://hostname/etc. I will make sure to detect invalid endpoint to avoid surfacing this error.

Ahhhh thanks. I was using a valid URL, but for some reason after installation/upgrade all the characters got jumbled into random characters. Didn't think to check those storage values, but the Bucket, Key, Secret, and Endpoint values all got jumbled like this:



After updating them all to proper strings, it worked fine. Thanks! Problem solved.

That happens when you (inadvertently) define CHEVERETO_ENCRYPTION_KEY which happens when you populate the database connection info via web. When you created your new app/env.php file it included the encryption key as that's the new default.

You shouldn't use the web gui to re-connect to the database for an existing installation, unless of course you manually remove the encryption key.

As your installation is now using encryption, mind checking all the settings/keys that will get you some trouble: https://v4-docs.chevereto.com/application/reference/encryption.html#what-is-encrypted
