Hi I’m trying to upgrade nextcloud 31.0.10 to 32.0.1. Nextcloud running on freebsd 13.2-RELEASE-p10. Installed natively without docker with redis/mariadb.

Anyway during the upgrade process I’m getting error:

OCP\App\AppPathNotFoundException: Could not find path for eb

Looking in the logs further for this mysterious “eb” I’m not finding much:

Could someone help me find what “eb” is referring to in this context?

It’s referring to the name of an installed app. Without more details about your environment/config/etc such as requested in the support template I’m afraid we can’t be more helpful.

Hey @kevdog you’ve left out all the important stuff in your log excerpts, but it looks like a failed integrity check due to some app.

without Support template. Please use this when you request support were blind and guessing

Steps to resolve integrity check failure

1. Find the files causing the issue

Review your logs or by following the link list of invalid files in the message and discover which app (<appname>) those files reference

2. Double check the app name in question:

occ app:list

3. Remove the app causing the integrity check failure:

occ app::remove <appname>

4. Reinstall the app:

occ app:enable <appname>

5. Run the integrity check manually and see output:

occ integrity:check-core

6. Run the integrity check on the app:

occ integrity:check-app <appname>

7. Manually update = retry update

The message should disappear.

Hey thanks for all the useful hints, and I’d like to walk through the steps I’ve gone trying to solve the issue. Since I’m using bsd, the nextcloud user is www and the nextcloud home directory is /usr/local/www/nextcloud.

Just as a quick check – within /usr/local/www/nextcloud/apps – I absolutely have no application known as “eb”. The only app I have than even begins with an “e” is encryption.

Walking through your suggestions:

I’d remove and/or reinstall the app if I knew what “eb” was referring to.

Here is the integrity check (produces no output):

# sudo -u www php occ integrity:check-core
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade

In terms or trying to upgrade from the CLI vs web interface:

# sudo -u www php occ upgrade
Setting log level to debug
Turned on maintenance mode
Updating database schema
Updated database
Starting code integrity check...
OCP\App\AppPathNotFoundException: Could not find path for eb
Update failed
Maintenance mode is kept active
Resetting log level

Sooo - I’m kind of at a loss here. Logs are not helpful in the slightest. I have no app I’m aware that is called eb. I don’t know how to remove or enable the app:

# sudo -u www php occ app:remove eb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
eb is not enabled

# sudo -u www php occ app:enable eb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
Could not download app eb, it was not found on the appstore

So what is eb referring to??

This looks bogus. And it contains the eb string.

I don’t understand – looks bogus?

But here are things I’ve tried:

# sudo -u www php occ app:enable OCCWeb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
OCCWeb not found

# sudo -u www php occ app:remove OCCweb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
OCCweb is not enabled

# sudo -u www php occ app:install OCCweb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
Error: Could not find path for web

I realized I might have been typing a zero “0” or “O” – so I just cut and pasted from the app list command I now I have:

# sudo -u www php occ app:install OCCWeb
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade
Error: Could not find path for eb

So looking within nextcloud/apps, I see two directories named: occweb and OCCWeb. So I just moved these directories out of the nextcloud tree and then upgraded. I then just reintalled OCCWeb from apps.

So long story short thanks for your help

OCCWeb (mixed case) plus the version being listed as 0 suggests something is weird with that app’s installation. Not sure how that happened in your case, but check if you even have a /usr/local/www/nextcloud/apps/OCCWeb folder. If so, try:

  • renaming it to all lowercase
  • moving it entirely outside of your Nextcloud installation folder (which should effectively disable it)

I edited my post above and just moved the OCCWeb out of nextcloud installation folder and then simply reinstalled to make sure I was getting the most recent version.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The error message was confusing me since it wasn’t complete. Now I’m rolling.
