Hi @arshapsclock,
Those webserver logs don't show a lot. You'll find more relevant information in the application logs as per our debugging docs.

If you're sending an invite email when adding users, it's likely due to not being able to send email.
There's email test send functionality in the settings > maintenance part of the UI.
