Issue

  • I'm getting the following error trying to start dimension:
Starting matrix-dimension

      this.auth = decodeURIComponent(rest.slice(0, atSign));
                  ^

Environment

  • Element Enterprise Installer 2022.05-02

Resolution

Ensure that you do not have any % characters in your PostgreSQL password. Once you have removed any % characters from your PostgreSQL password, please update your configuration files and re-run the installer.

Root Cause

Dimension does not properly encode the % for it's Postgresql connection URL and this triggers the above error.
