Serverfailure COPILOT_ENABLED

[frankie64]

1. update 4.4.6 from 4.4.2
2. update process did not throw any errors
3. If I go to the startpage I got this Serverfailure:

<class 'AttributeError'>

Ungültiger Konfigurationsparameter: COPILOT_ENABLED

Python-Version: 3.11.2
NetBox-Version: 4.4.6
Plugins: 
  netbox_attachments: 9.0.0
  netbox_contract: 2.4.2
  netbox_data_flows: 1.4.0
  netbox_dns: 1.4.3
  netbox_slm: 1.8.2
  netbox_topology_views: 4.4.0

Try to fix that:

I put the row "COPILOT_ENABLED = False" in configuration.py but it did not fix that problem.

what I must do?
I would not use this feature in moment, because the server run in a protected environment without internet access.

thx for help

Could you try enabling debugging temporarily (DEBUG = True) to share a stack trace?

I found in the log-file

I got this message with configuration.py COPILOT_ENABLED = false and also without this entry.

I resolve the problem by myself.

• I install from scratch without plugins
  • download, unpack, link, put config parts from old installation (without plugins)
  • start and login works
• add plugins + config parts -> update.sh
  • ok
• add ldap plugin + config parts
  • no failure
    I have no idea, whats wrong in the old installation.
