Nextcloud log: Hello,
I am running Nextcloud 33.0.5.1 (native installation on Ubuntu) with a remote MySQL database and data directory located on an external mount (/mnt/nc/von100).
The background cron job is actually running perfectly fine via systemd-timer and terminates with status=0/SUCCESS every 5 minutes. However, the admin overview interface still stubbornly reports: âThe asynchronous tasks process doesnât seem to be running. It hasnât been executed yet.â and âYour data directory is not writable.â
Here are the raw log entries from my nextcloud.log showing that cron.php is actively and successfully executing the background jobs (it only tripped over a temporary IMAP sync issue for account 9, which has since been removed):
{"reqId":"wLYAUEcrPXzOJ2JIn4mZ","level":3,"time":"2026-06-09T17:45:47+02:00","remoteAddr":"","user":"--","app":"mail","method":"","url":"--","scriptName":"cron.php","message":"Cron mail sync failed for account 9","userAgent":"--","version":"33.0.5.1","occ_command":["cron.php"],"exception":{"Exception":"OCA\\Mail\\Exception\\ServiceException","Message":"IMAP error synchronizing account 9: Error connecting to mail server.","Code":11}}
{"reqId":"x8mWLOKLdZQE444JxMMM","level":3,"time":"2026-06-09T18:50:01+02:00","remoteAddr":"","user":"--","app":"mail","method":"","url":"--","scriptName":"/var/www/nc/cron.php","message":"Cron mail sync failed for account 9","userAgent":"--","version":"33.0.5.1","occ_command":["/var/www/nc/cron.php"],"exception":{"Exception":"OCA\\Mail\\Exception\\ServiceException","Message":"IMAP error synchronizing account 9: Error connecting to mail server.","Code":11}}
The systemd configuration is verified, file permissions belong to www-data:www-data, and the cron status in Administration settings â Basic settings correctly shows a green checkmark.
It seems to be a purely cosmetic UI/caching bug on the main admin overview page in NC33 failing to sync with the database/fast-cache timestamp. Has anyone else experienced this specific behavior with external mount paths or remote databases in NC33?
