Please help
Thanks

3

if i delete dist directory - nextcloud stop working

if i delete dist directory - nextcloud stop working

Hopefully dist isn’t the place you installed your dist-upgrades in…

Anyway. I just want to make sure that you are not trying to update your productive instance and that you’re having a very recent backup.

If you’d have a backup is about time to restore it just now, I think.

If you were about upgrading your productive instance you better think twice of it if you’re not exactly sure how to handle problems.

6

i try upgrade from GUI and from shell - same result. did not installed your dist-upgrades in some particular place. not chose dist dir like destination.

have backup for now. now nextcloud is working. but can’t upgrade.

don’t know how to solve this. so asking community help.

7

Look like this is error of 24 beta

restore from backup to ver 23
upgrade to 24.0.0 beta 2 directly

and find dist dir in root of nextcloud

8

Then please report it to the bug tracker:

9

I have the same problem when updating from 24.0.0 beta2 to 24.0.0. beta3 and have now opened an issue about it: [Bug]: Update 24.0.0 beta2 to beta3 · Issue #31891 · nextcloud/server · GitHub

10

can confirm that problem exist if upgrade from 23 to 24b1
and also from 24b1 to 24b2
and from 23 to 24b2

11

they just close it…

12

I updated from 24.0.0.12 to 24.0.1.1 - stable versions, no beta. I got the same error: unexpected file “dist” (which is a directory). I removed it from the Netxtcloud root and continued the update. It worked perfectly. There is a new directory dist created now. I think, the updater hast to be fixed, seeing the dist directory as known and expected file.

@franz.hartwig if you would have looked into the GH issue you’d see that it’s still open (or better: opened again) and that it comes from a faulty updater.phar. And they don’t know why the faulty one isn’t gonne be replaced by newer ones, yet. At least that’s what I understood from it.

If you’d follow the links given there you’d stumble across someone giving out the hint: try updating from commandline https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/maintenance/update.html#using-the-command-line-based-updater

Bumped into the exact same case. I simply:

  1. temporarily moved the directory to wherever Nextcloud doesn’t know, (in my case /home/pi)
  2. passed the checking step, and then
  3. put the directory back to where it originally was.

Seems like it worked for me, hope this helps.

When upgrading from 23 to 24.0 I changed to Beta channel. Upgraded succesfully. Then changed back to stable and ran into same issue described here when trying to upgrade to 24.0.2 . I did what @eojin suggested and it worked. I succesfully upgraded to 24.0.2 on stable channel. Cheers and thanks

OK, Upgrade from 24 to 25 improved: ist has this message without dist being in the nextcloud-folder… What if I can’t find a DIST to remove?

I think you try to look in the /nextcloud folder (it’s an absolute path!). Since your are already in the folder, you should use a find . -name ... in order to use the current folder.

Hello to all.
My version is
Current version is 26.0.3. Update to Nextcloud 26.0.4 available. (channel: “stable”)
I have the same problem.
My data folder is mounted over NFS with Synology storage .
In nextcloud/public_html/cloud/data
I ty to start upgrade over Web interface and is stopped and say :slight_smile:
The following extra files have been found: : the cloud
The cloud is new path of data folder.
I found in folder nextcloud/updater/index.php you found around the line 229 with //Folders and after folders around the line 248 //Files add here you new folder if is needed or files if is need to you.
After this entry to file you can start the upgrade over the update or over the console.
