Description Paul Wise 2018-01-23 05:34:44 UTC 
I tried to sign up for an account on gitlab but it crashed with this message:

500
Whoops, something went wrong on our end.

Try refreshing the page, or going back and attempting the action again.

Please contact your GitLab administrator if this problem persists.

Paul, landed your account (you should have received a password reset e-mail) and subscribed you to the relevant Gitlab issue.
Comment 2 Andrea Veri 2018-01-25 12:01:11 UTC 
For reference this report was migrated over to https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/GitLab/issues/117.
Comment 3 Paul 2018-02-20 23:00:47 UTC 
I've just hit this too. Can't comment on the linked GitLab bug because, well, I can't create a GitLab account.

Is this transient, should I keep trying?

Try enabling JavaScript.
Comment 5 Paul 2018-02-21 06:57:28 UTC 
JavaScript is not disabled (disabling JavaScript breaks most recent websites and is of dubious security value, particularly considering its fingerprinting implications).

Disabling all security-related add-ons also does not resolve the issue. A completely stock browser (TorBrowser) does lead to the signup being successful.
