The issue you are facing:
I suddenly get an error that cronjobs are not being executed.
Also it says .ocdata is missing, but nextcloud instance works.
When i execute the cron.php manually it runs without errors.
the setting in crontab seems to be working as well (and it did before for a long time)
I found cron errors that get thrown each time cron gets executed (see below)
Not sure why .ocdata is suddenly gone, and also wondering why nextcloud is working without it, when i read in the forum it seems it wouldn´t without that file.
Please advice
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): y
Steps to replicate it:
- start server
- wait
