Hi muthermutton and welcome to the Mattermost forums!

Could it be that your `SiteUrl` is not set? According to the error messages you posted it seems as if this is the case and without a valid `SiteUrl` (System Console → Environment → Web Server → Site URL) some things (including the generation of invite links) will not work.
