Documentation: Advanced Topics;Troubleshooting Error Messages

Request a new Advanced Topics webpage for Troubleshooting Error Messages

It might start with instructions of how to post enough information when requesting Support:

• When did the error occurs (very important to note if it was during installation versus regular use)
• Screenshot?
• Logs? (with pointers to how to retrieve logs - the docker compose thread was a starting point)

Previously reported errors:

• Error 503
• Error 405 (New User registration error)

The raw errors are described in the API specification, but to have a meaningful documentation that users can understand, we first need to improve propagating errors from the API to the web interface and showing an error message (not just a status code) to the user.

I opened these issues:

• Use abort_with_message for all exceptions #386
• Improve error handling gramps-web#232

This issue we can move to the documentation repo.

Oops, realized the documentation repo has issues disabled. Ok, let's keep it here.
