When I run occ comand I have this issue

xx@xx:~$ sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode --on
Could not open input file: occ

But it works when I use

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --on

Is it bad?
How to make work occ as usual?

Hi,

It is not bad; not at all. It’s the same for me, for years :slight_smile:

If I’m not mistaken, you can make it work, by adding your nextcloud folder to the PATH environment variable. But it’s only worth it, if you don’t want to - by no means - enter the path every time. However, I guess you won’t call the occ command that often.

you can call the occ while your in the directory!

cd /var/www/html/nextcloud/
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:mode --on
