Nextcloud version: 29.0.6
Operating system and version: Debian 12.7
Apache version: 2.4.62
PHP version: 8.2.20
I just migrated my nextcloud instance from Ubuntu to Debian (a botched Ubuntu upgrade was the final straw to make me do what I long had thought about). After copying files and database and setting up apache config, I got an Internal Server Error.
That by itself wouldn’t be noteworthy. However, I checked all the log files I could think of (nextcloud log, apache error log, php log), and they all did not contain any information on the error that happened; they did contain a message about favicon.ico not being available, but nothing on why the request for nextcloud itself failed. I tried configuring error_log etc, all to no avail, until I finally checked my config.php. Then I noticed that I didn’t only have redis caching configured (for which I had installed everything already on the new server) but also apcu caching set up; and I had forgot to install the php_apcu module. Installed it, and then everything was fine!
Why am I reporting this? I just lost a few hours looking into this - it would have been much much easier if there were any log file entries about such problems.
I’m not sure if this is a nextcloud or php problem, but in my opinion, we should strive for there being next to no chance of there being an error but no log file entry…
