The issue you are facing:
When i run this command sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan i get the following error message
There are no commands defined in the "files" namespace.
BTW I was in maintenance mode when i ran the command
can anyone please tell me whats wrong with my setup?
Ok, I’m running a docker based setup and when I try to make it run as you did I get the following output
docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan
Please specify the user id to scan, --all to scan for all users or --path=…
Could it be there is some missing stuff in your cmd or smt like that?
i even tried whats given in the help page, i get the same error… no logs are getting generated though
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --help
Add --all to the end of your occ command or define a user.
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
that worked but wondering why --help doesnt.
–help doesn’t appear to be an option. See midway down on page link:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/22/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html
this command doesnt work when maintenance mode is set “on”
Good to know. Glad you got it sorted.
