Changelog

2

Updating via script (overwriting, folders) then occ upgrade went fine. However, /settings/admin/overview now shows

There are some errors regarding your setup.
    2255 errors in the logs since 3. November 2023

Is the fact that errors are reported here something newly implemented?

I got the same message but complaining about 5 error messages. :roll_eyes:

It will put a lot of pressure on the developers to quickly fix the error messages that arise due to bugs, as a red warning that starts at 1, so to speak, is very upsetting and will also cause a lot of threads here in the forum.

I updated two servers
one with MariaDB: the logging tab no longer shows anything and remains empty
one with PostgreSQL: logging tab works.

Both servers log much errors like this:

Does that have somethng to do with my self signed certificates?

Lots of other errors as well but need more time to monitor.

Good:

groupfolders-app comes with an update (16.0.0) for Version 28 and works!

Much luck,

Plus, there still is a (long standing) inconsistency between update:check and app:update --all:

update:check

Update for external to version 5.3.1 is available.
Update for impersonate to version 1.15.0 is available.
Update for twofactor_webauthn to version 1.3.0-alpha.1 is available.
3 updates available

app:update --all

duplicatefinder new version available: 1.1.1
duplicatefinder updated
guests new version available: 3.0.0
guests updated
twofactor_webauthn new version available: 1.3.0-alpha.1
twofactor_webauthn updated
passwords new version available: 2023.11.30-build5162
passwords updated
impersonate new version available: 1.15.0
impersonate updated

calendar_resource_management new version available: 0.6.0-alpha.1
calendar_resource_management couldn't be updated
external new version available: 5.3.1
external couldn't be updated

I separated the last two (which are part of the app:update --all output) to highlight that they were NOT updated although shown as available update.

Nope, this is a regression from an attempt to log critical code paths when sessional renewal fail. It should be fixed by fix(session): Do not log fresh/empty session as error by ChristophWurst ¡ Pull Request #41318 ¡ nextcloud/server ¡ GitHub

Thats why I use

occ app:update -n --no-warnings --allow-unstable --showonly --all

as update checker in my scripts :wink:

Yikes, above was my “minimal apps” server I test twofactor_email against prior to releasing it. On my “maximum apps” server I get quite a lot of errors:

13540 errors in the logs since 4. November 2023

Plus, above that error messages hint, I get this after the update:

Dein Webserver ist noch nicht hinreichend fĂźr Datei-Synchronisierung konfiguriert, da die WebDAV-Schnittstelle vermutlich nicht funktioniert.

(engl: WebDAV doesn’t work) – That’s unexpected since I did not change anything else in my setup. But, it indeed doesn’t work (whereas it USED to!):

And no, these error messages all seem to come from NC core and apps that announce themselves being compatible to NC28. I only have one exception allowed since I rely on this app, and nobody reacts on my proposal to maintain it. Excerpt from test/config/config.php:

  array (
    0 => 'files_frommail',
  ),

same here on two servers. they are offline for now with a non-functional webdav. Also did not change anything in the setup.
Hope that an early next week beta3 is fixing this. :slight_smile:

From the error it looks like: Breaks Hub 7/Nc28 ¡ Issue #1022 ¡ nextcloud/recognize ¡ GitHub

Can you try disabling recognize?

10

After disabling recognize, WebDAV is functional. Thanks!

I think that an app should not be able to thwart the core function, but alas that’s how PHP based systems work.

11

recognize is not an app, recognize is a beast

[SCNR] :wink:

:information_source: Due to an issue with the updater in Beta 2 we have pulled this release from the download server. Beta 3 is already available. If you are on Beta 2 you have to fetch an older build of the updater. Please find instructions in Third beta of Nextcloud 28.
