Invalid hash - .user.ini

🚧 Installation
1

Hi all,

Fresh NC install of 11.0.1 (stable) on R.Pi 3 using ArchARM, postgres and apache. Everything seemed to go OK, except I’m getting an error about a code integrity check and clicking on the List of invalid files link tells me the problem is in the hash for .user.ini:
[expected] => 467d4f028c447895716a2b7859ed6e569f8ee34b87b51d73dab2e6a9ca4fbe63172c7be3e365ae864a60408286afcce852dd38ee544b61685ed4ee5e021fecb0
[current] => cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e

I’ve had a look around to solve this myself and can report:
I ssh’d into the Pi to download the NC tar, extracted all content to the alarm user (<== standard normal user created by ArchARM install) homedir and then mv’d it to web root ~ so a) it’s not a missing .user.ini and b) I don’t think it’s a binary|ascii ftp problem which seem to be the main reasons for this error.
I haven’t changed any of the settings in the .user.ini file, so it’s not a case of my changes messing with the hash.
When I saw the error, I downloaded a fresh NC bzip file, extracted it and mv’d just the .user.ini file to webroot/nextcloud and got the same hash errors (expected and current both the same).

.user.ini:
[alarm@alarm ~]$ sudo cat /srv/http/nextcloud/.user.ini
upload_max_filesize=511M
post_max_size=511M
memory_limit=512M
mbstring.func_overload=0
always_populate_raw_post_data=-1
default_charset='UTF-8’
output_buffering=0

Apart from that, I’m stuck. Is there anything else I can post to help with solving this?

thx,

PS: I don’t know if it makes any difference, but I’m not using https yet - thought I’d get it working locally first on just http.

On irc someone helpfully supplied the md5 hash for the .user.ini. My .user.ini matches that hash (302f7f9ef331d85fb71c22c83839932c). What hash is NC calculating to give the invalid number? SHA256?

,. aaaand now I"m locked out.

Never mind. I’ll try again later.

I’m having the same problem, after upgrading from 11.0.2 to 11.0.3 , php 5.6.25 RHEL 7

After wading through all the helpful responses in the thread, I ended up
uninstalling and reinstalling NC.

I never worked out what was causing the problem.

Yeah, it’s really annoying! I had tweaked my user.ini, and now after an update it’s been replaced :frowning:

There has to be a way to avoid this.
