Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 24.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Synology DSM 7.1

The issue you are facing:

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

Steps to replicate it:

  1. insert ‘memcache.local’ => '\OC\Memcache\APCu‘, into config.ini
  2. run cron.php or occ command
  3. Getting error message: OCP\HintException: [0]: Memcache \OC\Memcache\APCu not available for local cache (Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?)

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

<?php

  'maintenance' => false,
  'theme' => '',
  'loglevel' => 2,
  'updater.secret' => '****************************',
);

The commands

sh-4.4# sudo -u http php74 --define apc.enable_cli=1 occ db:add-missing-indices

and

sh-4.4# sudo -u http php74 -d apc.enable_cli=1 -f /volume1/web/nextcloud/cron.php

or

sh-4.4# sudo -u http php74 -f /volume1/web/nextcloud/cron.php

only work with disabled “memcache.local (…)” in config.php
When line is disabled in config.php I got a cache warning

“No memory cache has been configured. To enhance your performance please configure a memcache if available.”

How can I use Cron jobs and the PHP memory Cache together?

Best regards.

You can try running this command
sudo -u http php74 -d memory_limit=512M /volume1/web/nextcloud/cron.php

if that works you can create a cronjob for it

I’m using Nextcloud docker on Syno NAS, and made a task for it
