Support intro

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 17.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): FreeBSD jail vai FreeNAS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): nginx 1.16.1
PHP version (eg, 7.4): php 7.4

The issue you are facing:
I have been having problems with my nextcloud server and I haven’t been able to get it back up. I had been regularly updating through the web interface (up to version 17.something) and found that the update button didn’t show up any longer. After googling a bit, I found that it was due to running an outdated version of php (I think it was php7.2 at the time). Without thinking I installed php74 (php 7.4.15) and shortly found that when I attempted to connect to my server I was getting 404 not found. I have since been googling a good deal trying to figure out a solution but I haven’t gotten very far. Any help or direction wpuld be greatly appreciated.

Background:
Have been able to reload nginx without issues.
Tried reinstalling php72 but still, no luck.
Installed php74 along with: php74-bcmath-7_1.15 php74-bz2-7.4.15 php74-ctype-7.4.15 php74-curl-7.4.15 php74-dom-7.4.15 php74-exif-7.4.15 php74-fileinfo-7.4.15 php74-filter-7.4.15 php74-gd-7.4.15 php74-gmp-7.4.15 php74-iconv-7.4.15 php74-intl-7.4.15 php74-json-7.4.15 php74-ldap-7.4.15 php74-mbstring-7.4.15 php74-opcache-7.4.15 php74-openssl-7.4.15 php74-pdo-7.4.15 php74-pdo_mysql-7.4.15 php74-pecl-APCu-5.1.19 php74-posix-7.4.15 php74-session-7.4.15 php74-simplexml-7.4.15 php74-xml-7.4.15 php74-xmlreader-7.4.15 php74-xmlwriter-7.4.15 php74-xsl-7.4.15 php74-zip-7.4.15 php74-zlib-7.4.15

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. pkg install php74
  2. type in url path to nextcloud server in browser
  3. 404 not found

Hello @ignis-fatuus ,

welcome to the community of Nextcloud.

That definitely looks like a webserver setup issue.
Please search the forum.

Have you checked if NC17 is compatible with PHP7.4?

The reason that I wanted to update php to 7.4 was so that I could update nextcloud to version 18 and beyond. The problem now is that even after rolling php back down to 7.2, I still am unable to access nextcloud and am rather lost as to what I can do at this point. I will search the forums some more.

Hello, did you update your Nginx configuration ?
Nginx conf may contain this :

upstream php-handler {
    #server 127.0.0.1:9000;
    server unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}

But maybe, there are other edits.
The simplest way is to backup your current Nginx conf and try an Nginx conf from a recent version of NC : Nginx configuration — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation .
