ERROR: Server returned error 500 for Chef Server

Chef Infra (archive)

I am trying to upload new cookbook to my chef-server and it is returning the following error

ERROR: Server returned error 500 for https://xxxxxxx
ERROR: internal server error
ERROR: internal service error

My chef server is linux based and I have tried all the possible solutions mentioned but none of them seem to be working.

Check the server logs for details: chef-server-ctl tail

Here are the logs for tail we did before and it is not very helpful.

It doesn’t tell us what is causing the problem.
