### 500 error `cannot serve from disk`
If you get a 500 response from Pages and encounter an error similar to:
```plaintext
ERRO[0145] cannot serve from disk error="gitlab: disk access is disabled via enable-disk=false" project_id=27 source_path="file:///shared/pages/@hashed/67/06/670671cd97404156226e507973f2ab8330d3022ca96e0c93bdbdb320c41adcaf/pages_deployments/14/artifacts.zip" source_type=zip
```
It means that GitLab Rails is telling GitLab Pages to serve content from a location on disk,
however, GitLab Pages was configured to disable disk access.
To enable disk access:
1. Enable disk access for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
gitlab_pages['enable_disk'] = true
```
1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
