I think your config for nginx should contain upstream php-handler { server unix:/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock; } instead of #upstream php-handler { server unix:/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock; } (uncomment upstream…) and second http2 directive concerned e.g. server { listen 443 ssl; server_name YOUR.S…

thanks for your help :slight_smile: first part was uncomment once but then i got nginx[5548]: nginx: [emerg] “upstream” directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf:141 then i moved it to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, but no effect there changed second part, warning gone, thanks. …

kind of :wink: but it was running for years without and troubles, till php8.4 came :smiley:
