The issue you are facing:
When I create a new user and try to login, nextcloud facing internal error with RedisException: Redis server went away

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): no

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Installed nc with this Tutorial
  2. Changed configuration to use redis and APCu
  3. Created new normal user for testing (Admin-user works fine)
  4. Login as new user

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

No relevant information

Redis uses an unix socket (like this Tutorial ).

The apache webserver runs behind an nginx revers proxy.

I’ve found some threads about this exception, but nothing worked so far. I hope anybody can help me.
