Bug description

The cron cleanup job seems to not be working with the newest PHP version available (8.4.4.). If I try to run it, I get the following error:

Doctrine\DBAL\Exception: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: could not find driver in /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php:237 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Connection.php(458): OC\DB\Connection->connect() #1 /var/www/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Connection.php(416): Doctrine\DBAL\Connection->getDatabasePlatformVersion() #2 /var/www/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/src/Connection.php(323): Doctrine\DBAL\Connection->detectDatabasePlatform() #3 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php(903): Doctrine\DBAL\Connection->getDatabasePlatform() #4 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/ConnectionAdapter.php(235): OC\DB\Connection->getDatabaseProvider() #5 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/QueryBuilder/QueryBuilder.php(96): OC\DB\ConnectionAdapter->getDatabaseProvider() #6 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppConfig.php(1226): OC\DB\QueryBuilder\QueryBuilder->expr() #7 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppConfig.php(243): OC\AppConfig->loadConfig() #8 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppConfig.php(1366): OC\AppConfig->searchValues() #9 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/App/AppManager.php(136): OC\AppConfig->getValues() #10 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/App/AppManager.php(157): OC\App\AppManager->getInstalledAppsValues() #11 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/legacy/OC_App.php(188): OC\App\AppManager->getInstalledApps() #12 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/AppFramework/Bootstrap/Coordinator.php(48): OC_App::getEnabledApps() #13 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/base.php(675): OC\AppFramework\Bootstrap\Coordinator->runInitialRegistration() #14 /var/www/nextcloud/lib/base.php(1156): OC::init() #15 /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php(24): require_once('...') #16 {main}

An exception occurred in the driver: could not find driver

Do you have the mysql PHP module installed within your CLI mode PHP 8.4?

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/php_configuration.html

[susnux]

This is a configuration issue, you are missing the PHP mysql module and or pdo_mysql (or you forgot to enable it also for your CLI PHP config).
