The Nextcloud log has multiple entries regarding chmod errors pertaining to a specific file.
The file in question is /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/lib/private/Log/File.php
It is owned by http:http; its permissions are set at 755 (-rwxr-xr-x)
Nextcloud seems to work without issue, but perhaps something is broken, and I just haven’t recognized it yet.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Y
Steps to replicate it:
- Upgrade to Nextcloud 18
- Upgrade to PHP 7.4
- Use Nextcloud calendar, files, and Logging features
