GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Superset showing 500 error
<!-- Answer --> A 500 error in Superset after installation is usually caused by issues like missing database migrations, unsupported Python or Node.js versions, missing database drivers, or incomplete asset builds. The most common fix is to run `superset db upgrade` and `superset init` to make sure your database schema is up to date [example](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/33510). Also, check that your Python (3.10/3.11) and Node.js (20.x) versions match Superset's requirements [example](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/35823), and that you have the correct database drivers installed (like `psycopg2` for Postgres or `mysqlclient` for MySQL) [example](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/33157). Compare the environments between your working and non-working VPS: look for differences in system packages, database backend, and configuration. If you're using SQLite, migration issues are more common—PostgreSQL is recommended for production [example](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/33510). If the error persists, check the Superset logs for specific stack traces; they often reveal missing dependencies or migration problems [example](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/34320). If you can share any error messages from the logs, I can help pinpoint the issue further. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
