Re: php-nextcloud 33.0.6!

[Lars-Johan Liman <liman%cafax.se@localhost>]

Hi Greg!

I had an old working Nextcloud setup, but then the PHP bug hit, so I
needed to upgrade. This required (ahem!) upgrade from NetBSD 9.3 to 11.0
and an ensuing upgrade of Nextcloud to 33.0.8 (from many major versions
below). But I just cannot get it to work.

I'm trying to use nginx (admittedly not my primary area of expertise)
and I get to the point where

    php --define apc.enable_cli=1 occ maintenance:install

runs just fine and is quite happy, but if I then go to the web
interface, I'm met with:

    Nextcloud

    Nextcloud – a safe home for all your data

and nothing more.

A couple of quick questions. What do you use?

1. Web server? (nginx? apache? something else?)

2. PHP version? (8.[234]?)

3. Are there any specific hints that you can think of? (If I ever get it
   to work again, I would consider writing a HOWTO ... ;-) )

... because I can only dream of you having a step-by-step guide, right? ;-)

Any hints obviously much appreciated.
