I’m into making as many test runs as necessary to “OWN” the answers.
Built a NC instance on a MariaDB and Apache24/php74 platform. Searched for the connectivity issues with MariaDB and thought I’d found all of them. But still came back with not able to find the database.
Today I noticed a nice bit of code using occ
"$ cd /var/www/nextcloud/
$ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:install --database
“mysql” --database-name “nextcloud” --database-user “root” --database-pass
“password” --admin-user “admin” --admin-pass “password”
Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available
Nextcloud was successfully installed
I think this may be the answer. My question is since I let mysqli complete… the database is loaded with that code.
Can I simply erase or rename config.php, rename or delete the database and start over? Or is it way more complicated than that.
Regards
Dave
