Unable to create new entry in production mode using Strapi

I'm using Strapi to generate REST api. I've created a content type (named article) - and using it in production mode & it is working fine. Now, I added a new content type (named vidtops), which works fine in development mode (no errors), but on switching to production mode, I'm unable to create a new entry in vidtops. However, the earlier endpoint (article) is working fine.

I'm using:-

strapi version = 3.0.0-alpha.25.2

on Ubuntu 18.04 (installed on AWS lightsail)

Node version = 10.15.3

npm version = 6.4.1

Mongodb version = 4.0.7

pm2 version = 3.4.0

This is the code I'm using for production launch:-

export NODE_ENV=production
pm2 start npm --name api -- start

while in dev mode, I use strapi start.

On clicking "add new entry", the spinner keeps running forever, here is the screenshot:-

The new content type is not available under 'Content manger' section, here is the screenshot:- content type not present

I've tried many things in the last 48 hours, but it behaves abnormally. For once, I was able to create multiple content types and use them in production mode on a different server, with the same versions of the tools and same launch code.

Solution

  • It's due to the schema management for the admin. There is some issue on GitHub about that.

    You will have to remove in your core_store table/collection the entry with key === plugin_content-manager_schema

    Then restart your app and it will work.
