Built-in updater crashed when it was updating from 25.0.2 to 25.0.3 and it stoped working

Support intro

After Built-in updater 25.0.3 started working it shows server problem and now the webpage does not load, the server load is high when we try to use nextcloud services, it also collapses the database postgres for other web apps are installed in the same cluster.

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 25.0.2 to 25.0.3
Operating system and version ( Ubuntu 20.04):
Apache or nginx version : Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
PHP version : 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.16

The issue you are facing:

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. use the nextcloud server
  2. Server load comes high
  3. I collapses database
  4. The nextcloud server is not working properly, the website loads partially.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Doctrine\DBAL\Exception: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections in /var/www/html/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection

hint: PostgreSQL "Remaining connection slots are reserved" error

For my NC i used the PG Tune Website to optimize the PostgreSQL Server config e.g. the max_connections option as well.

use this site to find out what parameters fit to your NC

after that check, that nc server can connect properly to the postgresql db.

For the “broken update” you should

  1. make a whole backup of your nc rootdir (e.g. /var/www/nextcloud → backup-folder)
  2. download the tar.bz2 or zip of the nextcloud 25.0.3 → download
    use wget command for servers with terminal only → wget URL-OF-THE-DOWNLOADLINK
  3. unpack the file to /tmp dir
  4. copy over the files from the unpacked folder /tmp/nextcloud-25.0.3 to your nc dir (e.g. /var/www/nextcloud)
  5. check ownership and access rights in nextcloud dir
    → owner www-data:www-data → files/folder chmod -R 750 …
  6. run occ upgrade command as webuser (e.g. www-data) again and don’t forget to check folder rights before (!)
