My running nextcloud suddenly stopped after a month

My Nextcloud was running for a month, when it suddenly stopped and I get this message from the webserver:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and …


The internal error-message is:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ log:watch

The apache-server is running, it handles my website


The Redis-server is running too:

This is the redis-part of the config.php:

A replay of a backup is working flawless but does nothing.


What can I do?

Spielmops

You are using an almost 3 years old image.
Debian 9 Is no longer supported by ncp. Make backups, upgrade to Debian 10, or do fresh install and restore from created backups.

Restore from backup does not work.

nc-restore works for me, what went wrong?

Nothing went wrong:

… to solve the problem …

That doesn’t answer the question.

Install fresh from latest image and then run the restore from backup.
Most likely this will solve the problem

Indeed! I had the hope to get an answer to my question. With that answer I could better understand, what went wrong and what to do, if this failure arises again. Don’ t forget, that my cloud worked fine for a month. So what is the reason that Redis is not longer available?

Spielmops

Is the answer to your question, that repo (not debian btw) doesnt work well or breaks current ncp.
It was used for a short while with Debian 9, to be able to use php7.3. abondoned soon after, as it caused to many issues.

Ok, so an update of the OS to Buster would solve the problem?

Spielmops

Maybe not, if your system is broken, can try, but be ready to do fresh install and restore from backup.
In general an upgrade is not a fix for a broken system.

That’s the reason I asked. Your hint to the php-packages is a “believe me” and I will, but I do not understand, why a running cloud stops. My server does not automatically install anything so an update can not be the reason.

Spielmops

I think, you are right: the command

systemctl status php7.3-fpm 

showed nothing unusual. However when I tried it an hour ago another time on another console with more space, I could see the letters “PHP Wa”. And when I stretched the console-window over my 2 screens, I got

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php/20200930/redis.so’ (tried: /usr/lib/php/20200930/redis.so (/usr/lib/php/20200930/redis.so: undefined symbol: php_error_docref)

And then I asked apt for more information of that packages:

redis : depends on: redis-server (>= 5:5.0.3-3~bpo9+2) but 3:3.2.6-3+deb9u4 shall be installed
E: damaged packages

Tomorrow I will upgrade everything.

I would rather start fresh. Your system might be broken due to your fixing attempts

Hey @Spielmops

Maybe you can take a look at this : Internal server error - Redis problem - #4 by Mageunic

I’m not familiar with debian, so I need a short info. If I do

apt -a show redis-server

I get 2 items, one with version 5.6 from debian buster-backports/main armhf and the other version 5.5.0 from debian buster/main armhf.
Which is the right one or how can I get information about that (via apt?)

Is there any way to get manual installed packages?
