Please provide more information, e.g. how did you install Nextcloud? Manually?

If you read your error message carefully you can see what the issue most likely ist:

ERROR: Unable to include /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/nextcloud.conf

This file probably existed in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/. If that is the case, copy it over and restart FPM.

I did manage to fix the issue, now the front end is utterly slow and i’m banging my head to figure out !
Also it’s stuck at 19.0 beta 1, the update app on the front end turns to root folder of my serve, the comandline returns no update avilable.
Also the [object Object] issue shows off on the upright corner of the front end.
If somebody can help on the diagnose i will be grateful forever !

#4

I’m also stuck with the error in the apache2 error log

AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/nextcloud/config

I’ve upgraded the virtual server and i had no performance upgrade. All the browsers are unresponsive, waiting for ages

#5

Today i did the upgrade to the latest 20.0.7 but the frontend is still UTTERLY slow, totally unresponsive i’m really in the need of help.

this is my apache error log

No error on mysql module

Ok, i think i found the problem, looking at the log the nexcloud istance is looking for a federated cloud, that cloud was shutdown, i started it back and not the front end is much more responsive. I wonder how is possible that lack of a federated server will mess all the frontend up.

{"reqId":"wpxnlCChJ3Fda51bUwbh","level":2,"time":"2021-02-15T09:32:52+00:00","remoteAddr":"IP_ADDRESS","user":"USERNAME","app":"no app in context","method":"PROPFIND","url":"/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav","message":"External storage not available: Sabre\\HTTP\\ClientException: Failed to connect to urla_address port PORTNUMBER: Connection timed out","userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.150 Safari/537.36","version":"20.0.7.1","id":"602a44c1c102b"}

Now the problem is that even if i have removed all the reference of that federated cloud and all the shares if that cloud instance is off the front end becomes sluggish again.

Even if i disable the federation module if the next cloud can’t reach that federated instance the inteface is sluggish.
