Nextcloud don't work after 4 months

Good Day,

It worked very well and all of a sudden I can’t access the page. All other pages like local “Wikipedia”, “Portainer” and also “Webmin” still work.
When I call “netstat” I don’t see any port.
In addition, I have already started “dietpi-software reinstall 114” and also no success.
Maybe someone has an idea where I can look it up why it does not work.

can everyone tell me at which point nextcloud will start?

Thank you for any answer.
Greetings
Jan

Does it give any error message while opening web page http://your.ip.com/nextcloud ?

there is no Nextcloud!

Nextcloud is not an own application. It a web server app running on a web server like Nginx or Lighttpd.

And I see both installed on your system, with it not a good idea as they are conflicting with each other. Do you recall why both are installed? Did you have done any installation? Usually our scripts should prevent from doing this.

i pushed the command

dietpi-software list

ID 114 | =2 | Nextcloud: File sync, sharing and collaboration platform | +MariaDB +PHP +Redis +webserver | Cloud and Backup Systems Software Options - DietPi.com Docs

i dont know what is the best way?

i dont know what is the best way?

For what?

As said, Nextcloud is not a dedicated app. It’s a web server application.

Still my question, do you recall why you have 2 conflicting web server installed

At first, thank you for the fast answers!!!

How can i check this?
All webservices are working normaly.
Only the Nextcloud are not there.
Dietpi-Software say to me it is installed.
My idea is to uninstall dietpi, reboot an after this i will install new the nextcloud.
Or you have a better idea?
In the folder /var/www/nextcloud are all files.
And in the file “/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/99-dietpi-nextcloud.conf” i think this is the right one is there.

How can i try to start the software from the command?

Which webserver do the working webservices use? Nginx?

You didn’t get the problem: You have installed Nginx and Lighttpd (which are both webservers) but they couldn’t coexist easily side by side.

So the problem might be that your working webservices using Nginx but Nextcloud want’s to use Lighttpd. But it’s not possible, because it’s conflicting with Nginx.

what gives you systemctl status lighttpd ?

Still you misunderstood. Don’t mix services like Portainer or webmin. They have their own web server and no relation to Nextcloud. They are completely independent.

At the moment you have 2 conflicting http web server installed. icode]Nginx[/icode] and lighttpd. Both do very same thing, providing Http service on port 80/443. Usually they are not able to run together. That’s most probably the cause of your issue.

Still the question why you have both installed. Usually our scripts prevent this. Did you have done something to install Nginx in addition to lighttpd?

thanks you too,

you see my answers

I guess we still misunderstood each other. We ask for the reason to have 2 identical web server installed. Nixing as well as lighttpd. But ok.

Can you share following

ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
dietpi-software list | grep " =2 "

Good Morning from Hamburg,

i have to uninstall some software and the lighttpd is the standard webserver.
The nextcloud is reinstalled but it don’t will work!
My last options is to restall my raspberry pi again.
Or have one another a idea?

At this place you see my config

Good morning from Berlin

There is no need to reinstall everything. The issue is pretty clear. You have a conflicting web server Nginx installed. Nginx prevents lighttpd form being able to start correctly. it’s as well not part of installed software list. Therefore, still our question: why do you have Nginx installed? How did you do that? What was the reason?

Basically you could try to stop/disable Nginx and restart lighttpd

systemctl stop nginx
systemctl disable nginx
systemctl restart lighttpd

You are so good!!!

Thank you Thank You so much.

I worked very well !!!

Thank you !!!

Well we just worked around the fact that you have 2 times a web server installed, conflicting with each other.

And still the million dollar question your did not answer until now: Why do you have Nginx installed? How did you do that? What was the reason?

I think that was at the point in the Dietpi-Software there is a point “Default Webserver”.
If i click on this point it will be change to NGINX i can’t change back.

Now I have the Problem again…

my solution was

systemctl stop nginx
systemctl disable nginx
systemctl restart lighttpd

Dietpi-software reinstall 114

systemctl stop nginx
systemctl disable nginx
systemctl restart lighttpd

And all my configs are back… Yes !!!
Thank you for your help :smiley:

I highly recommend to remove nginx if not needed. Otherwise you will run into issues again and again and again.
