Problem Nextcloud 32.0 install

Why i cannot install Nextcloud server 32.0 ?

When i click install, then nothing happnes.

I see this message: Only MySQL/MariaDB is available.
Install and activate additional PHP modules to choose other database types.

I have install php mysql module.

I dont see any log ?

I use ubuntu server 24.04.

Hi Janar,

What procedure did you follow to install ?

There is All In One (AIO) install which is a docker based installed that comes with all required components and even more. GitHub - nextcloud/all-in-one: 📦 The official Nextcloud installation method. Provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.

With that install, database brick is provided, so no need to tweak with php modules and database configuration.

Best Regards

I have this issue too, I followed the instructions for the zip install.

Hi,

this AIO method seems much more difficult.

You can find similar topic here - Ubuntu 24.04 + Nextcloud

Do you want to use SQLite? If so, you need to install the php-sqlite3 extension.

If not, i.e. if you want to use MariaDB or MySQL, make sure one of those is installed on your system and that you’ve entered all the details for the database you created earlier correctly in the install wizard.

For installing MariaDB and creating the database, you can follow this example from the documentation: Example installation on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

Hi,

is mysql not working ?

Are you asking if your MySQL installation isn’t working, or whether MySQL in general doesn’t work with Nextcloud?

I can’t possibly answer the former, since you didn’t describe yor setup and what you’ve done, and my crystal ball is currently out of order.

As for the latter, the answer is a definitive NO (i.e., yes, MySQL does work with Nextcloud). Installing it and creating the database works exactly the same way as with MariaDB. The only difference is that on Ubuntu you need to install mysql-server instead of mariadb-server.

Hi,

i installed nextcloud version 31.0.9 RC1 and all works perfect.

But when i tryng install latest version, then i got no log error and cannot install.

Sorry, but without more details, I could only make wild guesses, and I’m not in the mood for that right now.

Anyway, glad you got at least “something” up and running, and I guess you could upgrade from that to 31.0.9 stable and then to 32 if that’s what your goal is.

If you encounter any issues while trying to do that or other things, feel free to ask again, but please provide more details about your setup/environment.

Hi,

yes i got update this version to latest 32.0, but fresh install latest version ubuntu server24.04 dont works.

Yes, sorry, I don’t know why it didn’t work directly with 32.

I use MariaDB myself, and to be honest, I haven’t installed Nextcloud via the web installer in ages. But what I can say is that the latest-32.tar.gz installation via the CLI installer has worked for me several times.

So it doesn’t seem to be a general issue with Nextcloud 32, but maybe there’s a bug in the web installer for this version. It’s probably not MySQL-related either, otherwise, there would likely have been issues with the update to 32 as well.

At the end of the day, though, these are just wild guesses, and I don’t really know what happened.

Hi,
I’m having the same problem. I used the setup-nextcloud.php file for the installation.

When it gets to this screen, it stops.
I installed MySQL 3.8.6.

Thanks, Davide

Is there a page after the one of your screenshot once you Hit ‘Install →’ button, or is is stuck ?

Is there any error in browser ? depending on your browser F12 can get developper mode and see console.

Some hints

Is the database running ? sudo ss -ntlp will show all applications listening on tcp port, more specifically in your case check sudo ss -ntlp | grep 3306

Is there interesting logs web server side : tail /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log ?

is localhost resolved correctly, does it works better with 127.0.0.1 instead ?

Are you trying to reinstall it on top of an existing installation or is it a brand new one ?

That almost seems like a bug in the WebInstaller in the latest version, and someone should probably report it if there isn’t already an open issue on GitHub.

Possible workarounds I can think of, assuming the database was created correctly, all required PHP modules are installed, and the information provided in the installer is accurate, are the following:

Hm, that would be weird, as the web installer is covered by CI. Not saying it can’t be a bug at all, but all platforms worked fine on the last tests.

Are there any errors on the browsers console maybe?!

Yeah, I suspect a bug simply because two users have already had this problem, and the first user managed to work around it by installing an older version. But obviously, I can’t be sure, and to be honest, I don’t really feel like trying to reproduce it at the moment. :wink:

That’s okay, I did it it worked for me :wink: So something else is missing here.

I had to use the CLI installer and the update went smoothly. I’m also on metal with nextcloud
