Application Error message
The attachment 229308 [details] is the error message I saw.
I've been through the logs for the last couple of days, but don't see anything that looks related. While we are planning to start making use of the CA features in Gerrit, but right now I don't think you need to do anything specifically. However the project you'd like to contribute to can probably provide some guidance on how to contribute. -M. We ran into exactly the same error today, when we tried to enable Gerrit for my colleague Caroline Rieder. This was around 11:30 CEST today (would be 5.30 am EDT / Server time). We had followed the advice and "Confirm you agree" link from here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#User_Account A bit later, we tried to add a new E-Mail address to the same account, and we saw the same "application error" message. Something seems to be wrong here with Gerrit. I think that this is an error/mistake in our Gerrit configuration and documentation. We haven't rolled out any aspect of the new CLA work yet. Webmaster, what is this page? https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/new-agreement My guess is that this something that the JGit/EGit project tried to do in the early days of Gerrit adoption that shouldn't have been migrated to the main Gerrit. Does that make sense? > My guess is that this something that the JGit/EGit project tried to do in

That seems to make sense... I don't remember setting up CLA stuff in Gerrit.
(In reply to comment #6) So then maybe the Wiki page here has to be updated ? Wayne ? http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#User_Account (In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #6) > So then maybe the Wiki page here has to be updated ? Wayne ? > > http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#User_Account AFAICT, I've never edited that page before. How to you figure this one's mine? :-) I'll remove the line. We'll have to remember to update this when we push out CLA support. I'm closing this as FIXED since I believe the root cause is the documentation error. Thanks. Looks like I put that wording there in the initial wiki page, but if memory serves me correctly, I had snagged most of the content from EGit's docs.

Does that make sense? yes, we used CLAs collected by Gerrit in JGit/EGit in our project private Gerrit instance until we migrated to the foundation's Gerrit server. There CLAs were never used and probably were never configured properly. Gerrit 2.6 documentation (latest version is 2.6 rc2, final 2.6 is expected to be released soon) now comes with proper documentation for setting up CLAs [1].
