Raspberry Pi - 503 Service Unavailable

I did a completly fresh process again with berry boot this time. I didnt change a thing but still get the Message:

pi@nextcloudpi:~ $

sudo ncc maintenance:mode --off

/usr/local/bin/ncc: line 2: 1989 Illegal instruction sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ “$@”

I have the Raspberry Pi Modell B, I gues it should work normally

now related to Bitcoins for the one who solves my problem

i’d like to stay in this thread because

  • you have @OliverV already taking care of your problem
  • you already have given out more information about what you want and what you need.

so here are my questions for you:

  • how is your rp3b powered?
  • how do you burn the image to your sd-card (pls in detail)
  • how do you access your rp3b afterwards?

ok, understand this argument.

First of all I have a older modell (cpu-info):
processor : 0
model name : ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)
BogoMIPS : 697.95
Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp java tls
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xb76
CPU revision : 7

Hardware : BCM2835
Revision : 000e
Serial : 00000000f5b16ba7

Powered via usb plug.
I burned the Image the first times as following:

-inserted SD-card into pc
-windows-X - disk management
-all old volumes deleted, 1 new created (fat32)
-formated and named nextclourpi
-opened Etcher as admin
-downloaded the image here
-unpacked with 7 zip and winRar
-selected the image in etcher, selected the sd-card
-klicked “flash”

some trys I created after this a file without extensions with the name “ssh”.

After a few trys I used Windiskmanager32 instead of etcher to flash the image to the sd-card.

I also went trough the completeinstallation with berryboot

After connecting successfully via ssh I cant get further.

Should I delete the other thread?

I only now see that my raspberry has the old ARMv6,
I read the Please NOTE: only armv7 is supported, armv6 is no longer supported by NCP, due to incompatible php version. warning at the Installation of Berryboot. Does this means the Raspberry is to old?

Because on the Main Website it says:

Raspberry Pi (all models)

The most popular board around! You can convert it into your home cloud now.

There are Berryboot images available in order to run NextCloudPi directly from an external hard drive.

i’d suggest so… since it wouldn’t bring you any further. you can edit the title of THIS thread at any time as well as the keywords… and so you could put “bounty” in as well… if that’s your wish.

i thought you were referring to “Raspberry 3 Model B” but you’re trying to run it on a Raspberry 1 Model B?
Well this one could be too old (outdated) for the use of nextcloud on it.

I’m not sure about the USB-PowerPlug. Afaik a rpi should have an exteral powerplug. if it’s connected to yet another USB-Slot to gain it’s power from, it could fail.

raspberry one - yes. too old.

not updated. needs update.

ok thank you for you help. So there is no older version of php I could run?

I cant delete the other thread, dont have permissions, but I want.()

well changing php versions wouldn’t neccessarily help since nc (15) requires a minimum of php7.0 (i guess, maybe even 7.1)… plus installing php and changing versions isn’t as obvious and easy as you might expect it to be. at least that was my impression i got from dealing with php.

so maybe you’d be luckier with an older version of ncp… i dunno if they’re featuring any archive. but keep in mind that old versions would contain old security-holes, which even are published to the internet. so using these would only make sense in a closed intranet-like situation (definitly not reachable from the outside and thus cutting nextcloud from a good part of usage)

a different solution for you could be setting up NC as a VM which would run under windows as well. if you want to get to know about the possibilities you have by using nextcloud. afaik there’s even a ncp-version for VM (virtual machine).

if you’d be ok with NC then it might be either a good idea to host it with a hosting provider oder investing some bucks for a new hardware (though raspi, even rpi3 would stay a bit slow… and I personally wouldn’t recommend it for groups of more than - say - 10 ppl)

you can delete all postings under the inital starting thread and you need to mark the starting thread as “please delete” - since only moderators are able to delete threads.

ok, I agree with that. I am looking to buy some hardware, but I dont want to invest that much. The rock64 board isnt really available in Germany, and the sync cloud devices are to expensive for private use. I think, I might get a Rp3b+ , because it is mostly for private use and not for a company or large groups.

Thank you @JimmyKater for you friendly help and the detailed answers to my boring questions!
Thanks also to @OliverV for you fast response at the beginning of this thread.

not yet, true. you need to order it directly. i myself am intersted in that one, as well. as for now the r64 pro is still beta. as far as i understood from it.

i myself am running a rpi3 and it’s running smooth with nc15. (even faster than at least nc 14, maybe even as nc 13).
so for small groups or family… and rpi3b+ maybe would do the job. and it defenitly wouldnt cost you a fortune.

you’re very welcome

Today I got myself a rpi3 to, works well, setting up the harddrive at the moment, nextcloud is 1000x times greater when it works :grin:
I donatet some money as well, great community and definetly some money worth this good work…

[503 Service Unavailable] hits my NextCloudPi too, after manually upgrading operation. From ssh,

$ sudo ncp-report

show exactly the same:

“PHP service down”

Then I do:
$ sudo systemctl start php7.2-fpm

it works!
I have even done(maybe it is not necessary)

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-common libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-mysql php7.2-fpm php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-bz2 php7.2-json php7.2-tidy php7.2-mbstring php-redis php-memcached

Wich model do you have (raspberry)
Because for php 7 a arm64 architecture is needed.

I use rpi 3B(2015).
Now Nextcloud is normal. NCP webpage shows as following:

Hi @OliverV,

Please re-read my post…

I wasn’t asking a question, simply pointing out that an answer is very often possibly contained in the logs a user already has, and could be a cascade error (one leading to another).

@crustulumtheone had posted the logs initially, yet no-one thought to question why no datadir was configured, if the datadir was unconfigured, why not?

If this issued was resolved due to the issue you mention, then why was this not posted and accepted as the solution? Instead the marked solution is:

This not what you have supplied. Yet the above is what is marked as the solution. There is little to no point in not posting the confirmed solution for a poster. The OP should have been asked to correctly mark the solution that resolved their issue. Then finally edit the post title to ‘RESOLVED: xyz’ or ‘SOLVED: xyz’

This means anyone wanting to offer help doesn’t engage with an already resolved thread. Also those looking for help with similar problems can refer initially to threads similar to their issue, but that have been solved already.

@NeptuneUK

yes. you found out something that might have passed others (including mine) attention. I really can’t remember anymore what crossed my mind back then.

BUT

apparently ncp wasn’t intended to run on a rpi1 anymore at that time. so why following some errors appearing when hardware is known to be problematic?

you complain that this thread was irregulary marked “solved” with no real solution. but wells… it IS a solution. and apparently it helped TS

so what did you really want to get out of your system? If you have a problem that needs to be solved please feel free to open a new thread (you even could connect it to this thread if you feel it might be a similar problem). don’t forget to give out as much information as possible about the problematic system(s).

Thanks.

Hi @JimmyKater,

You’ll notice my original replay states clearly

It wasn’t a reference to any subsequent resolution.

I ‘Do Not’ have any issue to resolve myself, so have no need to post a new thread.

Your later ncp explanation IMO is a far better solution than the marked one. It addresses the issue, is more detailed and informative. The marked solution doesn’t give any real detail as to why an RPI1 is ‘too old’. I don’t complain about the marked solution just draw attention to it possibly not being the best one.

I regularly read in the NC summary email newsletters about people who are frustrated with the forum and it’s responses / response times / answers. I come here from time to time to put a little back in to the NC environment. Far too often the same questions are asked again and again here, and often it’s due to insufficient detail in the question / response or simply not reading and digesting the information that was published.

Each time I visit though I seem to take longer to come back, as I feel a similar frustration with the forum community and a desire to offer a better resource for NC issues and NC community users.

Obviously everyone who takes the time and trouble to get involved should be, and is valued. BUt there is also nothing wrong in improving.

usually it’s up to TS to mark an answer being the solution. I dunno why this one was marked. But it initially solved the problem for TS. The one you’re referring to

is indeed more informative but is lacking for the main reason… “too old” But yes I see what you mean.

I’d like to get this thread here to your attention where some of this was already discussed

right… So thank you very much for your efford to improve the solution.

correct-o

@all - i changed the solving answer according to discussion above.
