Did you install 9.0.1?

Hi @timneutkens, I upgraded to 9.0.1 and I still get Internal Server Error but now the console shows a different error message:

The error only happens on a deployed site.

Getting the same error for a normal page component.

This is a duplicate of #7758 now -- you're looking for a file that's no longer available.

[timneutkens]

Let's close this in favor of #7758 then.
