Update nextcloud, occ upgrade - php version not compatible

[fillip]

hi,

i recently upgraded my dietpi from buster to bookworm.
and so did php to 8.##.
now i need to upgrade nextcloud.
i used

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

to upgrade from 22.2.04 (i think) to 22.2.10.
then i tried:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ

but i got this error message:

This version of Nextcloud is not compatible with > PHP 8.0.
You are currently running 8.2.7.#

i’m not sure if i need to run the occ upgrade after every nextcloud upgrade, or only when i’m at the last current version.
but when i ran
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar
again, i got this:

Nextcloud Updater - version: v20.0.0beta4-11-g68fa0d4

Current version is 22.2.10.

so basically update version and current version are the same.

any idea, what to do?

did you tried something like this already? Update of nextcloud fails - #5 by Joulinar

hi.
thanks, no i haven’t…
but i will now…
just i’m not sure where to put this bypass script…

[Joulinar]

This should do hopefully

sed -i 's/>= 80200/>= 80300/' /var/www/nextcloud/lib/versioncheck.php

[fillip]

ok, so i just run this, and then i run the occ update? or updater.phar?
excuse me for my ignorance and thank you for your patience…

[Joulinar]

Try

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

@Joulinar

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

not working for me…
i’m on nc 22.2.10…
i think it runs php7.4 or so…
i tried your sed script:
╰─# sed -i ‘s/>= 80200/>= 80300/’ /var/www/nextcloud/lib/versioncheck.php
and then

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

also tried 

╰─# sed -i 's/>= 70000/>= 80300/' /var/www/nextcloud/lib/versioncheck.php

Can you share the correct error message.

As well following please

cat /var/www/nextcloud/lib/versioncheck.php

[fillip]

ah, not exactly error message, only occ update just said wrong php version, and updater.phar asked if i want to upgrade but is the same version i have already…
anyways, i can’t show you an error message, because i decided to purge and start from scratch…
actually i’m doing that right now…
i can come back to you and tell you how that went, if you’re interested…
i hope i purged everything relevant and start with a new nextcloud without any problems…
thank you for the effort, though…
