Nextcloud Fedora 41 No such file or directoryphp#221

I have a clean installation of fedora 41 beta. Anybody know what this error means when setting up nextcloud latest? I had no trouble installing nextcloud in fedora 40.

jonathon@hello:~$ sudo cat /var/www/html/cloud/data/nextcloud.log

Temporary work around:
Nextcloud-28.0.2.zip does not have this bug.

wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-28.0.2.zip

Also redis has been replaced by valkey https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-Replacing-Redis-Valkey

Another possible workaround would be to use the command line installer, as this bug only seems to affect the web installer. Oh, and by the way, it’s already been fixed, so it shouldn’t occur in the upcoming 29.0.6 anymore: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/47521

Well, these are the sorts of things you have to deal with when using a bleeding edge distribution like Fedora, and in this case, even a beta version of that bleeding edge distribution. For a ‘stable’ server experience, Rocky or Alma Linux would be a better fit if you want to stay in the RHEL world, or otherwise Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS :wink:

I have not used the command line installer before. I will have a look at it. I started with fedora 5 so it’s been a long journey. I got used the constant change and breakage from time to time. I figure if things are going to change i may as well just learn it now. I’m looking at putting nextcloud on a raspberry pi. I will probably go with red hat derivative if there is an image available or Debian since i have that running on my laptop. Thanks for your help.

Yes, learning is a good thing… On a test system! :wink:

But on a production server that might also be used by friends and family, you usually don’t want constant changes and breakages. Of course, if it is just for yourself, this is entirely up to you.

By the way, 29.0.6 has now been released, so the problem with the web installer should be fixed :slight_smile:
