Cron Information seems to be hidden

ℹ️ Support
1

In my Admin Page of Nextcloud the Information about Cron Jobs seems to be hidden?

It is looking like this:

cron_missing.jpg1522×139 14.9 KB

but it was and shoud be like this:

cron_not-missing.jpg1458×124 18.3 KB

I can’t exactly say when it happen. I am using Nextcloud 12.0.0 at the moment.

Cron Jobs are working well → syslog under ubuntu server is ok.

It seems as if the site format is not shown correctly or the info is eliminated …

Problem occurs in several browsers (chrome, firefox, edge, )
So it should be serverside problem (php page problem)

Thank you for help
:slight_smile:

You can run the cronjob by hand in order to see if any error pops up and if the status is updated on the admin page:
sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php

Yes i did

sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php

and no errors occured! Though if I run the cronjob that is defined in crontab.

Although the Info in the Admin Page is not listed - it’s still “hidden”.

It is as if the “variable” isn’t there anymore …??

The date/time on your client and server are correct? There is also a table in your database which lists when the jobs were carried out the last time (oc_jobs).

I’ve checked Systemtime

sudo hwclock --show
-> shows the correct time and date

sudo hwclock --systohc
-> no errors

sudo ntpq -p
-> delivers the list of correct servers that are used
e.g. 0.de.pool.ntp.org

I tried the following today:

hwclock --systohc --debug

That delivers this output: (sorry I didn’t translate it to englisch …)
hwclock von util-linux 2.29
Using the /dev interface to the clock.

Not adjusting drift factor because the --update-drift option was not used.

Hope that this information will help a bit.

In my oc_jobs DataBase the entries are listed as followed
OCA\NextcloudAnnouncements\Cron\Crawler
last run 1501928117
last checked 1502002802

on which entries exactly do I have to look at?

Sat, 05 Aug 2017 10:15:17 GMT

So it didn’t run since then. Was this your manual run?

8

Entry oc_jobs of today (now)

OCA\NextcloudAnnouncements\Cron\Crawler
last run 1502015406
last checked 1502093701

So this had been changed automatically

And the last post was not the time of a manual initiated run of the cron job.

That also fits to my syslog when every 15 min a log entry is written that shows a run of cron.php in nextcloud without any errors.

But the “problem” still exists that there is no output on the admin page of nextcloud.

I changed it to Ajax update - same - no output of cron in the admin page.
I’m back to cron - because cronjobs are working regarding to the logs and db (oc_jobs) entries…

I can’t figure that out - why the Info is missing on the admin page?

Did you increase the loglevel in php? Other than this, I’m running out of ideas. Then, you could still report a bug on the bug tracker, the developers then can check which function creates a problem. And try the first bugfix release 12.0.1 first, perhaps it was already fixed.

I’ve changed my Log-Level up to DEBUG

Following is logged:

I’m not sure but it seems to be as it should be?
Cronjob of 7:00 at 8/8/2017 so that fits to my settings crontab => every 15 min

BUT! What about this info

Debug core Scss is disabled for /var/www/nextcloud/core/css/share.scss, ignoring 2017-08-08T07:05:25+0200
Debug core Scss is disabled for /var/www/nextcloud/core/css/server.scss, ignoring 2017-08-08T07:05:25+0200
??

…and I have to mention that I did the Upgrade from 12.0.0 to 12.0.1 yesterday with success.

But my “problem” (admin page without cron Information) resists …

I can’t help you. Please raise an issue on https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues

From my point of view, the cronjobs seem to run properly but I have no idea why the webinterface doesn’t detect it.
