Command "files" is not defined

This is what I did

  1. Installed DietPi on a Raspberry Pi 3B.
  2. Used dietpi-software to install the latest version of nextcloud.
  3. added an external HDD with correct permissions i.e. www-data and 0770
  4. Nextcloud is running fine with the drive and data working fine.
  5. Copy all of the files from the old drive to the new drive and re did permissions i.e www-data and 0770

Now the next step was to follow the docs and scan all the files. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/15/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#scan

Now occ as a command works fine

root@dietpi:/var/www/nextcloud# sudo -u www-data php ./occ
Nextcloud is in maintenance mode - no apps have been loaded

What I want to do is scan all my files but I get

root@dietpi:/var/www/nextcloud# sudo -u www-data php ./occ files
Nextcloud is in maintenance mode - no apps have been loaded


                                   
  Command "files" is not defined.  
                               
root@dietpi:/var/www/nextcloud#

I don’t know what to do. I was thinking of trying maintenance:repair but don’t know if that’s the right way to go to fix this.
Here is my PHP version

PHP 7.3.19-1~deb10u1 (cli) (built: Jul  5 2020 06:46:45) ( NTS )

Here is my MySQL version
mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.27-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnueabihf (armv8l) using readline 5.2

I hope I have given all the information you may need to help me thanks

See the docs at:

Your command is not complete.

The occ command works but not files

root@eietpi:/var/www/nextcloud# sudo -u www-data php ./occ files:scan
Nextcloud is in maintenance mode - no apps have been loaded


                                                           
  There are no commands defined in the "files" namespace.  
                                                           

root@dietpi:/var/www/nextcloud#

I get the same error if I try cleanup, scan-app-data or even transfer-ownership.
Again what should I do.

Which apps have you installed and enabled? You can list them with occ command as well.

Please see this message.

I put it in maintenance mode, so that I up my files but that didn’t work because I files:scan didn’t exist

8

Looks like your app folder is at another place. Check your config.php file for the location.

9

Maybe this is the reason you cannot use occ commands from files namespace.

10

This my config.php file I don’t think I see any app directory in here

<?php

  'passwordsalt' => 'ge/lX+ftI11lddSG9Be7KZCb2lawe9',

That’s not the reason why, I re-downloaded manually from nextcloud and moved it over and now it works

Sorry, apps should be under

/var/www/nextcloud/apps

What your are expecting to see there?

13

When I went to apps folder or core folder I was expecting to see the files directory but it wasn’t there so I re downloaded it manually.

14

so, the problem solves if you do not put the cloud unter maintenance…
you had to scan for new files if your cloud is in normal mode…
i dont know why… but i tested it:
Nextcloud in maintenance mode: i get this error: There are no commands defined in the “files” namespace.
Nextcloud not in maintenance mode: no error and it scans all data correctly.
