Base-Overview throws Error after Update to SeaTable 4.2 if department function was activated before

Dear SeaTable Admins,

The problem:

Do you run your own SeaTable Server and after an update to version 4.2 you only get an “Error” on the homepage of SeaTable?

Then it might be the problem, that you activated departments anytime in the past, and now you have this configuration problem.

Look for the errors:

Open the dtable_web.log with, for example the command fail -f dtable_web.log and see if this error occurs if you open the homepage of SeaTable with your browser. If you see this error message, your ran into this problem:

The solution

Open your dtable_web_settings.py and comment or remove these two entries.

DISABLE_ADDRESSBOOK_V1 = True
ENABLE_ADDRESSBOOK_V2 = True

Alternatively, you can set both values to False.

Then restart SeaTable with seatable.sh restart and the problem will be resolved.
