The issue you are facing:

My server was working, but after updating to NC 23.0 it was saying in the settings that I should update PHP so I updated to 8.0. Then I got a

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.
More details can be found in the server log..

I then figured out, that 8.0 was not yet supported, so I tried to downgrade, but I failed.
I think there is something wrong with “redis memchache” but I don’t even no what this is.

Would be really happy if someone could help me out :pleading_face:

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Update to php 8.0
  2. fail do downgrade
  3. be stupid

I would start from the error message provided:

Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?

Not sure if this is the one sudo apt install php8.0-memcached

Or you could restore a backup which I’m sure you have made before messing with your instance…

I had almost the same problem. In my case this was caused by missing package php8.0-redis.
Not sure how that happened, but in my case this was solved by installing this.
sudo apt install php8.0-redis.

I came to this conclusion when I commented out:

'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
  'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',

and Nextcloud was working again.

I tried what you where suggesting, but it did not work.

I have a Backup, but unfortunately I get an I/O error when trying to restore it. I could build up the stuff manually, but I would like to avoid that.

Thanks for trying to help me (:

Awesome idea.
After commenting out what you said my instance is working again.
Thanks a lot.
Do you know why is that?
I also installed php8.0-redis, but when I comment the two lines again, it is still not working somehow.

yesterday i got the same prob

in my case it was caused by a php update

for a long time i couldnt update debian security because a mistake in sources-list
yesterday i found the correct entry for that in internet and replaced the wrong one

after that i got this error

i figured out that there was 7 new php packeges within the redis
they where out of php 8.1 but i am using 8.0

i started aptitude, killed the 8.1 and replaced with 8.0
then a reboot and everything was fine again

if i do “php -m” it semes the 8.1 packages are there again but its still working

i am using nc 22.2.3

7

Then it is a Redis configuration problem.
If it was working before, you could check is Redis is running. If you are on Ubuntu:
sudo service redis status
How is Redis found by Nextcloud? Via ip/tcp of sock?

sudo service redis status
Unit redis.service could not be found.

i am on debian bullseye

Difficult to respond because we know little about your system.
What version of php are your using?
php -v

What do the first lines:
sudo php --ri redis
tell you? Is Redis enabled?

10

now everything is fine for me
only some icons are not correct but that doesnt matter to me.
for example: the green button in /admin/settings/overfiew was a white line on green ground
now there is only the green circle

the contacs button on the top right next to the profile picture is invinceble but still there

at some place i cant remeber was a dark grey circle when i do a mouseover a little red dustbin appears if the mouse is away the dustbin is also gone

maybe all this would be fixed sometimes

i just tryed to help to find out what was wrong so i wrote what was helping me out.
maybe there is someone with more knowlegde who can understand what happens.

sudo phph --ri redis shows this:

sudo php --ri redis

So Redis is working then? Or have you disabled it in de config.php?

12

Somehow it is working for me now, I deleted all the other php packages besides php7.4.
Removed it with sudo apt remove php7.2* && sudo apt remove php7.3* and so on.

Nevertheless… I am running nextcloudpi and getting this Error now when running “sudo ncp-update”:

sudo ncp-update
Downloading updates
Performing updates
Running nc-autoupdate-nc
automatic Nextcloud updates enabled
ls: cannot access '/etc/php/7.3/fpm/conf.d/*-opcache.ini': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/*-opcache.ini': No such file or directory
NextCloudPi updated to version v1.46.7

So it is still calling php7.3 somehow, I don’t know if this is a problem but my instance is working smoothly again. I think its because ncp is not ready for NC23 or php7.4 yet.

Also I got php log errors (nextcloud log) though, but they are only logged when booting up my instance.
Like this one:

[privacy] Fatal: Error during app loading: LOADING Redis is loading the dataset in memory

or this:

[core] Error: LOADING Redis is loading the dataset in memory

GET /

or this

[core] Error: read error on connection to /var/run/redis/redis.sock:0

GET /

Does anyone know if this is a problem? And if so how to fix this? Like I said, my instance is working fine, but I hope this errors are not a security risk somehow, or messing with performance.

sudo php --ri redis shows me the exact same output than @joker_75

Fixed this by purging redis with sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove redis-server php-redis.

Then I reinstalled using this Memory caching — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation
and additional this How to Install and configure memory caching using APCu and Redis in Nextcloud. - YouTube

Step 1 : Install APCu and Redis.

sudo apt-get install php-apcu redis-server php redis
sudo service apache2 restart

Step 2: Edit the redis configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

  • Ctrl+w to search “port” and change

port 6379 to 0

  • Then Ctrl+w to search for and uncomment.

unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock

unisocketperm 700

change to

unisocketperm 770

  • Ctrl+x then Y to save and exit

Step 3: Restart.

Step 4: Add the Redis user redis to the www-data group.

sudo usermod -a -G redis www-data

Step 5: Restart Apache.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Start Redis server.

sudo service redis-server start

Step 7: Add the chaching configuration to the Nextcloud config file.

change theconfig.php (/var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php) file like that:

‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’,
‘memcache.locking’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\Redis’,
‘redis’ =>
array (
‘host’ => ‘/var/run/redis/redis.sock’,
‘port’ => 0,
‘dbindex’ => 0,
‘timeout’ => 1.5,
‘password’ => ‘yoursecret’
