As you can see the nginx and php-fpm are running as user daemon.
This user also owns /www/nginx.

I suspect it is still somehow an user permission problem. but currently I am running out of ideas.

[ChristophWurst]

How did you install the source on your server? Did you adjust the file permissions to your webserver's user, e.g. www-data on Debian?

[nerdyscout]

sorry, I am not completly sure what you want to know.

basicly what i have done is this:

cd /WWW
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/installer/setup-nextcloud.php
chown -R daemon:daemon *

daemon is the user my webserver is running with

[ChristophWurst]

That's about the information I wanted to get. Thanks 😉

cc @nickvergessen since the stack trace shows this could be related to activities.

[nerdyscout]

I've just tried it another way:

cd /www
git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/server.git nginx
git submodule update --init
chown -R daemon:daemon nginx

after running through the wizard it ends still with an "Internal server error"

Interestingly it is still a NotFoundException, but seems to look a bit different.

[nickvergessen]

The activity part from the initial report is resolved in master/stable11 already.
That's why you get a different error now when you try to use master.

However we should look into the not found exception as well.

[nerdyscout]

this occured to me more than a year ago in Nextcloud 11, I guess it will never be resolved.

Nextcloud 11 is EOL https://github.com/nextcloud/server/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule
