Deploy stops creating packages

We hadn't used the deploy functionality in OCS for some time and until then, it worked perfectly. I went to create a package for installing a new piece of software and, to my surprise, the functionality stopped working.

At the end of the build process, instead of the success screen, I get a blank screen with just the title Package Builder and the Reload build button.

In the /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/download directory there are five empty directories (my five attempts to build  a package), i.e. the system starts the process by creating the directories in the download area, but it doesn't finish.

[root@lnxprd-ocs01 download]# ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 7 apache root    96 mar  2 17:09 .
drwxr-xr-x. 9 apache root   104 out  3 09:33 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache   6 mar  2 16:32 1709407978
drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache   6 mar  2 16:34 1709408078
drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache   6 mar  2 16:36 1709408190

drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache   6 mar  2 17:09 1709410167

The only thing I remember from the last time we created deployment packages was that we upgraded the server from 2.11 to 2.12, but the person who upgraded didn't do the deployment tests. Everything else works perfectly.

Is there any configuration for debugging the application? We found nothing in the Apache and OCS logs.

After several tests, the only way to deploy that works is custom packages. Any other way of deploying (exe, msi, scripts, etc.) does not work.

Below are attempts to create a deploy using .exe and another using powershell. Result: blank screen for both.

What frustrates me the most is not being able to track the error. I can't find anything in the Apache logs or in the Chrome/Edge development tools console.
