Stuck at Loading Strapi

I upgraded my version from V4 to V5 locally, and tried pushing this to my server. I’m using Plesk to host Strapi in combination with Phusion Passenger. I tried to start Strapi, but it didn’t work. I’m now attempting to start it manually, but it’s stuck at “Loading Strapi”. Could this have something to do with the database migration (AFAIK Strapi should do this on application startup as described in Upgrading to Strapi 5 - Introduction and FAQ | Strapi 5 Documentation, but I’m not entirely sure). Currently it’s been running for a good 10 minutes, and it’s still stuck at the same point. Enabling --debug gives no additional output

Perhaps important to note, this strapi instance runs on an external (though hosted on the same server) database

I have the same problem…
