Registration on osm.org fails with HTTP 500 if cookies are not accepted in the user's browser #4892

Author: TomH Historically I don't think cookies were required during signup which is probably why we don't show an alert, but the introduction of the terms screen means that they are now required to track progress through the signup process. |

Author: TomH Fixed in [changeset:e5e6db8/rails]. |

Author: aseerel4c26 Fine, thank you! The old cookie warning on the /login page works, but not (yet) on /user/new. I assume that is just because the change takes some time to be live. |

Author: TomH I only just pushed it to live, because I had to fix the tests first - it should be live in the next half hour. |

Author: aseerel4c26 works, thank you. Now the user just need to see the red banner. ;-) |

in the standard user registration process (with email, username and password) https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new after accepting the contributor's terms https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/terms the next page is https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/save displays which displays a HTTP 500 error without further details. Tested with Opera 12, cookies not accepted, no old cookies were existent, "rest of world" was preselected, "public domain" checked. Confirmed by another user who stumbled over this problem first.
Expected: if cookies are really required then there should be some user friendly message telling about this.
