The Basics

Nextcloud version : 28.0.14.1
Operating system and version : Armbian-unofficial 24.2.1 Bookworm \l . 6.6.18-current-bcm2711 (aarch64)
Debian 12 bookworm
Apache or nginx version : Apache 2.4.62 (Debian)
PHP version : 8.1.31

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I launched a nc-update-nc with the 0 in order to update to the latest minor version or the next major version

I was previously on 28.0.11.1 → It installed the version 20.0.14, and all went well.

I restarted my nextcloud, did few checks, everything was ok.

I then did another nc-update-nc to go to the next major version (29.0.11). Everything seemed to go smoothly, except with PHP : at somme point, there was the message Something went wrong while upgrading PHP. Rolling back to version 8.1.

It rolled back to the previous version (the one I currently have).

I tried to update to PHP 8.3 manually, it seemed to work, did some tests and checks, everything seemed fine.

I did again a nc-update-nc, and it gave the same issue although PHP 8.3 was installed (and active).

I tried to installed the 28.0.5 manually, it says : Nextcloud version **28.0.14.1** is already installed. Nothing to upgrade. :flushed:

These are obviously not the same versions…

I tried to install 29.0.4 manually, which is the next major version for my system at this time, same message with an error while upgrading PHP (but no other information).

Not sure which log would support you best in order to support me…

Any idea what to look at ?

Prior to the Something went wrong... output there should have been other output like Stopping apache and php-fpm... and other bits. What were those? The final one before the Something went wrong is likely the action that triggered the trap here:

Something went wrong while upgrading PHP. Rolling back to version 8.1…
Conf php8.3-fpm already disabled

So the few elements and questions :

  1. is there a need to do the To activate the new configuration, after PHP 8.1 deletion (my guess is no)

  2. Should I remove manually the conf.d file manually
    NOTICE: a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
    NOTICE: a2enconf php8.3-fpm     → but the script is still running, so not sure when/how to do that, or should I modify the ncp-update script (which to be honnest, I’d rather not)

  3. Do I need to manually remove ‘/etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d’ and ‘/etc/php/8.1/fpm/conf.d’ not empty so not removed before trying to run the update, could that be the issue ?
