Summary of the issue you are facing:

I’d like to use the occ command to perform some maintenance, but i’m facing error messages.
Could not open input file: occ
I tried a workaround mentioned here and typed the command chmod 744 /var/www/nextcloud, but it’s getting worse: now i have HTTP 403 and 404 errors. How to fix this ?

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Try a command implying occ
  2. chmod 744 /var/www/nextcloud

first fix your permissions:
undo your chmod 744 this is should be best at 750 drwxr-x—

How did you run the command?

And for the record, that’s not what that linked post says to do. :wink:

The chmod target is occ not the folder.
