Linux dd50414 5.4.0-132-generic #148-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 17 16:02:06 UTC 2022 x86_64
PHP: 8.1.13
MariaDB: 10.5.18

It’s a shared server and I make my updates via SSH.

My problems:
first problem I had was that the sharing function did not work:
“List of shares could not be loaded”
(Sorry that’s an translation from German)
Then I discovered many other problems:
I cannot change settings like

  • Personal info → language
  • Basic Settings → background jobs
  • Sharing (Allow Apps to use the Stare API is active)
    “Group list could not be retrieved.”
  • Background jobs, I cannot switch from Ajax to Cron:
    “Background Job mode cannot be updated.”
  • and I cannot use the user administration:
    “An error occurred during the request. It is not possible to continue.”

There is no problem creating folders and up-/download files.

Only one error in “Logging” I have found:
Error: opendir(/tmp): Failed to open directory: Permission denied at /www/htdocs/w01ace46/lib/private/TempManager.php#191

And I cannot eliminate these warnings:
“opcache.max_accelerated_files”
“opcache.memory_consumption”
“opcache.interned_strings_buffer”
Because it is a shared server, but I have these warnings many months.

Addition to my post:
For updates I am using the command “php updater.phar”.
My webhoster (all-inkl.com) said, that the SSH environment / PHP-CLI is in php7.4, have to use “php80 updater.phar” to address php8.

Could this fault, making the update in a php7.4 environment, caused all my problems?

I have found the solution to my problems:
It was due to the write permissions of the folder “ocs” 644 instead of 755.
However, I have no idea why the write permissions were changed in this way.
