Nextcloud version: 14.0.0-1
Operating system and version: Arch Linux 4.18.6-arch1-1-ARCH
Apache or nginx version: nginx-mainline 1.15.3-1
PHP version: 7.2.9-1

The issue you are facing:

Following upgrade from Nextcloud 13 to Nextcloud 14, I can no longer access the “Settings” page/menu.

When i click the “Settings” link after logging into my Nextcloud server, i receive the following message in my web browsers (current versions of Opera, Firefox, and Edge):

500 Internal Server Error
nginx/1.15.3

This error did not occur in Nextcloud 13; it began following upgrade to Nextcloud 14.

All other Nextcloud 14 functionality appears normal.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Upgrade from NC 13 to NC 14 using Arch Linux pacman.
  2. Log in to upgraded Nextcloud server
  3. Click on the “Settings” link

Can you try to disable the mozilla-sync app (occ command or worst case delete the folder from apps/-folder). If that solves the issue, please report this problem to the developers of the mozilla-sync app.

I disabled and un-installed the Mozilla Sync app.

The Settings page/menu now work correctly.

Thank you, tflidd, for your help!

I disable the mozilla-sync app and now can logg in admin page of nextcloud.

But I love app mozilla-sync work nice with Pale Moon.

Now see whay App crash “Error: Class ‘OCP\Config’ not found”. :

Same issue. Settings gone after update to 14. After disabling mozilla_sync, settings are OK again.
Any way to get back mozilla_sync working?
