I use Rasa Stack starter-pack(github) to deploy our project, and I add some options for “Rest Input channel”,But server response “500 Internal Server Error”.

  • My endpoints.yml looks like:
  action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:5055/webhook"
  core_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:5005"
  • My credentials.yml looks like:
rest:
  • I execute these steps:
python -m rasa_core.run -d models/current/dialogue -u models/current/nlu --credentials credentials.yml --enable_api --endpoints endpoints.yml  &

python -m rasa_core_sdk.endpoint &
  • I post
{
  "message": "hello",
  "sender": "tom"
}

to

localhost:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook


* My core server logs

Hi @hanhuihui011,

Your set-up is correct. You are only missing a header from your POST request to notify the server of the attached JSON. If you are using POSTMAN, then you can add this in the Headers view with Key Content-Type and value application/json. Otherwise from the command line, just add the following flag:

--header "Content-Type: application/json"

Let me know if this does/doesn’t solve your problem!
