Stuck at "Upgrading filesystem cache..."

[Niduroki]

After upgrading from 4.5.7 to master, or with a fresh master-install, after setting up owncloud the files app is stuck forever at upgrading filesystem cache. Webdav works though …

Also example.com/index.php/apps/files/ajax/upgrade.php?requesttoken=asdasdasd 404s with the suggested nginx config. Hardcoding the correct path so it doesn't 404 anymore doesn't solve the problem.

Nevermind, configuration error at my side/suggested configuration, it works when upgrade.php is called properly.

http://doc.owncloud.org/server/5.0/admin_manual/installation/installation_others.html#nginx-configuration suggests ~ .php$ as a location for nginx, making nginx search for /owncloud/index.php/apps/files/ajax/upgrade.php, because that fits .php$ - of course this doesn't exist.

I would suggest leading every call to the former webdav, making it look something like this:

   server {
        #blah
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
        } 
        location ~ ^/(data|config|\.ht|db_structure\.xml|README) {
                deny all;
        }
        location @php {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm-php.sock;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
   }

Edit:
That breaks serving .php files without an appended path though …

I have the same problem, but fail to fix it. Please advise :/

This works:

Thank you Tie-fighier!

At First I made a upgrade and thought that I might messed something up, but after a clean installation the same result!

Thanks again!

[VicDeo]

@luxchris I assume the trick is here:

location ~ ^(?<script_name>.+?.php)(?<path_info>/.*)?$ {
...
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;

Is it correct?

@Tie-fighter It does not work for me. Just a blank white page appears.

I tried fiddling around with different solution and nothing worked so far.

[Tie-fighter]

TBH, I cannot help you. I don't know what exatly fixed it, and I reverted to 4.5.8 and went productive, so I cannot investigate further :/

[casch-at]

@vax Here is the content from the "fastcgi_params, php-fpm.conf and nginx.conf" file! Maybe it helps!

I think, this is not nginx bug.

Try to set php value mbstring.func_overload to 0.
In php.ini, or in vhost config.
When i set mbstring.func_overload=2, i get problems on installation|upgrade stage (php-fpm get 100% or cpu, string about "Upgrading filesystem cache" on screen).
When i comment it, owncloud started to work fine.
