[SOLVED] Changes in config file e.g. memory cache configuration take no effect

Nextcloud version: 22.1.1

Operating system and version: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Apache version: Apache 2.4.41

PHP version: 7.4.3

Hi NextCloud community,
I have recently installed NextCloud on a server hosted in a data centre and work now through the different security & setup warnings.

Somehow the changes I perform in the config.php do not seem to take any effect on my system. The config.php is located at “~/nextcloud/config”, here is also the config.sample.php located, from which I got the different settings.

My config.php looks like this:


<?php
$CONFIG = [

/** Set default phone number to Germany  */
'default_phone_region' => ‘DE’,

/** Pretty URLs  */
'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://hostadress/',
'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',

/** Disable autocompletion for login  */
'login_form_autocomplete' => false,

/** Data memory caching APCu  */
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',

];
?>

None of the included setting take any effect, so I still get the following warnings and also the index.php from sharing links is not removed:

For the configuration of the memory caching I followed the instructions from the NextCloud docs “Memory caching”. I also plan to use Redis, but as long as APCu is not working I don’t need to proceed with that.

Does any one have any idea where the issue is and how I can solve it?

Thank you very much in advance for your kind support!

Did you check that apc.enable_cli=1 in your php.ini? And check that php.ini is correct one, for CLI, FPM you have more php.ini files in a different folders.

Rather than php.ini, I had to add apc.enable_cli=1 to /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/apcu.ini to get everything working correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion @mainland. I also tried this, but unfortunately it did also not solve the issue.

@gas85 thanks for checking.

Yes, I have added it to the php.ini in the CLI folder.

Since, no of my configurations is taking effect also not the setting of the default phone number, I assume it is a more basic problem.

Your phone country code is correct but not being recognized so there is something wrong with your config.php file format. Please backup your config.php file and check the following:

  1. Delete all commented lines and see if your changes take effect
  2. Review your file format, specifically the opening block characters [ ] and the php close command. My config.php file does not have either (see below) and works fine:
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  'passwordsalt' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  'secret' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  'trusted_domains' => 
  array (
    0 => '192.168.###.###',
    1 => 'nextcloud.DOMAIN.com',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => '/var/www/DATAFILES',
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',
  'version' => '22.1.1.2',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://nextcloud.DOMAIN.com/nextcloud',
  'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',
  'dbname' => 'DATABASEPASSWORD',
  'dbhost' => 'localhost',
  'dbport' => '',
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'mysql.utf8mb4' => true,
  'dbuser' => 'DATABASEUSER',
  'dbpassword' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
  'installed' => true,
  'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
  'trashbin_retention_obligation' => 'auto, 30',
  'log_type' => 'file',
  'logfile' => '/var/log/nextcloud.log',
  'logfilemode' => 416,
  'loglevel' => '0',
  'logdateformat' => 'F d, Y H:i:s',
  'default_phone_region' => 'US',
  'twofactor_enforced' => 'true',
  'twofactor_enforced_groups' => 
  array (
  ),
  'twofactor_enforced_excluded_groups' => 
  array (
  ),
  'maintenance' => false,
  'theme' => '',
);

Be sure to restart Apache between changes.

Thanks for sharing your config.php with me @mainland

I tried it as well with deleting all the comments and also deleting the opening & closing block characters as well as the php close command.

So my config looks now like this:

<?php
$CONFIG = [
'default_phone_region' => 'DE',
'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://www.hostadress/',
'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',
'login_form_autocomplete' => false,
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu';

Unfortunately, it did not show any effect.

Does the location where the config is saved has any influence? I have saved it in the same folder where the config.sample.php located is, so “~/nextcloud/config”

Your config.php file is located in the correct folder at ~/nextcloud/config.

Can you post your entire config.php file anonymizing all sensitive information? That will make it easier to figure out what is going on.

That above is my entire config.php file. I had created it when setting up NextCloud and it is only in it what I have entered. I understand that it should have been created automatically when setting it up, but it wasn’t.

Alright guys I have solved the issue. I was using the wrong config folder. I was using the one in the home directory of my user not the one in “/var/www/nextcloud”.

Thanks for the support!

That makes a lot more sense now. I was wondering how you even got to the point you were at without all of the DB credentials in your config file.

Please mark as solved.
