Everything is running fine under 16.04 and plan to upgrade to 18.04 . I do the following: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done Calculating upgrade… Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libvpx3 libzip4 Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: nginx-core The following NEW packages will be installed: libnginx-mod-http-auth-pam libnginx-mod-http-dav-ext libnginx-mod-http-echo libnginx-mod-http-geoip libnginx-mod-http-image-filter libnginx-mod-http-subs-filter libnginx-mod-http-upstream-fair libnginx-mod-http-xslt-filter libnginx-mod-mail libnginx-mod-stream nginx-full The following packages will be upgraded: nginx nginx-common 2 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 922 kB of archives. After this operation, 926 kB of additional disk space will be used. It ask me it will remove nginx-core and upgrades/install some new nginx files. How shall I proceed? What changes or modifications do I need to do? I know I have to fix: fastcgi\_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; Nextcloud version 14.0.3 Operating system and version Ubuntu 16.04 LTS nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu) PHP version 7.0 ---

Solved. Followed the 16.04 to 18.04 instructions. After sudo apt upgrade entered Y, N, N but it was at old 16.04 php7.0 and had to do a sudo apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-fpm php7.2-cli php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-mysql php7.2-gd php7.2-imagick php7.2-recode php7.2-tidy php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-mbstring zip unzip php7.2-common php7.2-opcache 18.04 uses php7.2 This a Nginx web server. It worked. ---

I had the same issue, problems with upgrading Nextcloud ubuntu host from 16.04 to 18.04. However, I had apache instead of nginx and I needed few more packages…and then some updates to config files. I documented that to my blog at [Ubuntu upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 messed up Nextcloud installation (Fixed)](https://iteco.fi/ubuntu-upgrade-from-16-04-to-18-04-messed-up-nextcloud-installation/) if somebody else would have the same problems. Briefly it is: 1. Upgrade Ubuntu normally (do-release-upgrade) 2. Fix php setup with command: 3. Edit /etc/redis/redis.conf Uncomment rows unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis-server.sock unixsocketperm 700 and change ‘unixsocketperm 700’ to ‘unixsocketperm 770’ 1. edit /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php so that the redis.sock will point to the same file as in redis.conf ---

Thank you so much! This is invaluable! I tried a bunch of other suggestions, but this actually works; amazing! Apparently there is still something missing, it looks like the html is rendered (login works etc.), but the css is missing? Do you have any idea? ---

Great that it helped. Then it was not a wast of time to document it. I got it fully working with that. No idea if the css is missing. ---
