Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 19.0.12 - 19.0.12.0
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Linux 4.9.159-vs2.3.9.8-vs+ #4 SMP Wed Aug 28 15:05:40 PDT 2019 x86_64

PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.4.12

The issue you are facing:

For weeks, Nextcloud is telling me it can’t synch a file. The file does not exist. The error keeps popping up. See screenshot.

When pressing “Show details”, nothing happens. When I check the log, there is nothing about this issue.

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

Steps to replicate it:

I can not replicate it. It’s just this one file about which Nextcloud complains. I removed the file, yet the complaints keep coming.

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

I do not understand where I am to look for this. I do not see an ‘Admin’ menu option anywhere, nor do I see an ‘Admin’ folder on the server.

I cleaned the file /nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log at the start of the day and, after getting the notification I mention a number of times again, this log is literally completely empty.

The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):

I do not have a config.php file in this location. I do have it in /nextcloud/config/config.php.

What is considered not identifiable, in this file? I’ve removed most values.

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

I don’t appear to have permission to download this file.
