Configuration

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.

  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.

    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

Allow me to reply to my own post. Updating the Bookmarks app from the command line appears to have resolved my issue. At least I thought that it did. For some reason I am right back to where I started. HTTP error 500

I seem to lose access to my Apps section after some time has elapsed. The odd thing is that if I wish to regain access to my Apps section all I have to do is run this from my Ubuntu terminal:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud.mydomain.com/occ app:update notes

I could append notes or bookmarks or any of my active apps (makes no difference) at the end of that line. Very bizarre.
