Nextcloud version: 21.1.5
Operating system and version : Ubuntu 22.04.2
Apacheverson: 2.4.52
PHP version: 8.1.18

Hi,

I am using nextcloud for several years. Never I had any problems with updates. This time however the update process hangs at step 6. When I start the process via webui I get the message “update in process”.

I succeeded in restarting the update process via cli. Here I get the following error message:

Obviously nextcloud is missing something. Unfortunately I am the the expert to know what nextcloud is looking for.

Perhaps somebody can give me a hint how to proceed in this situation.

The updater cannot find the file

nextcloud_dir/version.php

Is that file present?

Unfortunately you only posted a truncated log echo, without the version string of the updater, that makes it difficult to trace.

Hello ernolf,

The updater cannot find the file

nextcloud_dir /version.php

Is that file present?

The file version.php is in the directory

/home/data/updater-oc2a0llpkr1x/downloads/nextcloud/version.php

I never changed this location and it worked with earlier updates.

Unfortunately you only posted a truncated log echo, without the version string of the updater, that makes it difficult to trace.

Sorry for the truncation. It is a matter of updating nextcloud from 27.1.5 to 27.1.6

Hello

unfortunately I am not able to update nextcloud. I would therefore like to restore the last working version. Can I do this using the backup that is made in step 3 of the update process. Is this described somewhere or can someone explain to me how this works?
