Getting help
In order to help you as efficiently (and quickly!) as possible, please fill in as much of the below requested information as you can.
Before clicking submit: Please check if your query is already addressed via the following resources:
- Official documentation (searchable and regularly updated)
- How to topics and FAQs

(Utilizing these existing resources is typically faster. It also helps reduce the load on our generous volunteers while elevating the signal to noise ratio of the forums otherwise arising from the same queries being posted repeatedly).
I’m trying to install the latest version of Nextcloud but I’ve only gotten as far as the MySQL/MariaDB setup… hopefully someone’ll be able to help.
- Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
Latest
- Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
Debian 13, LXDE Desktop
- Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
Latest
- PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
8.1
- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
Yes
- When did this problem seem to first start?
Install
I’m installing MySQL/MariaDB and I can’t get any further, specifically the mysql_secure_installation bit. I’m following, as much as possible, the same install process used for a Raspberry Pi 5 where it worked, son
Steps to replicate:
I install MariaDB:
- apt install mariadb-server
- mysql_secure_installation
And on that last I simply get…
command not found
I’ve checked and Maria DB is running (see below).
I’m looking for solutions (not very helpful so far) but any idea?
Nextcloud hasn’t been installed at this point so I’d appreciate some advice.
Thanks
James
