FAQ

Access through untrusted domain

trusted_domains setting, check

occ config:system:get trusted_domains

and add your domain/network there

occ config:system:set trusted_domains 1 --value="192.168.1.0/24"

etc

Run occ as apache

sudo -u www-data php occ whatevercommand

Upgrading

Web upgrader is under "Overview", not "Version"

On command line

sudo -u www-data php --define apc.enable_cli=1 /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

run this again to upgrade to next major version

Check for expected files, The following extra files have been found:

Probably files in install root dir

Stops at X Create backup

Check data/updater.log

Stop maintenance mode

runuser -u www-data -- php occ maintenance:mode --off

apache error log: Client denied by server configuration: .ocdata

That's from the Overview test cycle, so in fact a good sign

Authentication

nextcloud and yubikey

Works using the U2F app

Location of the logfile

Could be:

/var/www/nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log

or where you told it to be in config.php

File encoding for /<user>/files/foo.txt is not UTF-8. This may cause problems.

file contains non-UTF-8 characters

 

The files you are trying to upload exceed the maximum size for file uploads on this server.

another mystery

 

Import data

occ files:scan <userid>

or in snap:

(sudo) nextcloud.occ files:scan <userid>

Uknown user 1

It needs the user ID, not name

Mail

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/email_configuration.html

Unexpected error during account creation

Try enabling mail_smtpdebug

MP4 not playing

Could be HCEV/H.265 which is not supported by browsers because of patents. Try converting with ffmpeg.

Update needed

And occ upgrade failing, try setting version in config.php to version reported by occ --version

The PHP OPcache module is not loaded

try uncommenting

opcache.memory_consumption

and remember to restart php-fpm as well as apache

Nextcloud Office is not configured

This installation does not have a built in server. Install it from the App Store. Collabora?

Nextcloud using ldap backend

Change ldap admin password

occ ldap:set-config "s01" "ldap_agent_password" "newpass123"

Can't find ldap user

Even though admin interface "verify user" works:

php occ ldap:check-user foo

Cannot check user existence, because disabled LDAP configurations are present.

Admin interface, under LDAP / AD integration ->Advanced "Configuration active"

 php occ ldap:check-user foo --force

LDAP Operations error. Anonymous bind might not be allowed.

Save password and try again

getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295, you probably need to modify the User directive
