I am no developer.

I read that composer is only necessary for developing.

How can I purge composer actions?

Can you be a bit more specific? Which “composer error messages” do you see and where an what “actions” do you refer to?

Version: Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn (32.0.5)

This from the Protokoll:

Fehler PHP

Error: Failed opening required ‘/var/www/html/nextcloud/apps/contacts/composer/../vendor/autoload.php’ (include_path=‘/var/www/html/nextcloud/3rdparty/pear/archive_tar:/var/www/html/nextcloud/3rdparty/pear/console_getopt:/var/www/html/nextcloud/3rdparty/pear/pear-core-minimal/src:/var/www/html/nextcloud/3rdparty/pear/pear_exception:/var/www/html/nextcloud/apps’) at /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps/contacts/composer/autoload.php#8

action: If composer is not necessary composer will not create error messages.

This is not about “composer” as a tool.

This message is telling, that a required file for the “Contacts” app is missing - only the path of the file contains the word “composer” because originally composer was used to manage the dependencies.

You have to restore the missing files - either by (re-)installing the affected apps or by restoring a backup of the last known working version.

Edit: you can also download the official ZIP file for Nextcloud and extract the files as neeed to the folder of your Nextcloud installation.

Thanks.

There are a lot of Fehler and Warnings in the Protokoll.

Perhaps it is time for a new installation with migration.

Can you point me to a Todo list?
