[chef] Chef Server Crashes on Cookbook Upload

[< >]

Hi Chefs,

I had recently provisioned a new chef-server using 10.14.4 and was in the
process of moving all of our cookbooks onto the new chef-server when I get 
this
error client side, 

ERROR: Failed to upload  : 500 Internal Server Error

Chef-Server had died and needed to be restarted. Most of the cookbooks made it
but a few did not, re-running the upload process kills it again.

Looking at the server logs,
