Contacts: Every contact produce a fatal error [OCP\Files\NotPermittedException: Could not create path] in nextcloud.log when open the app

[dorpauli]

Hello,

i'm a user of the NextcloudPi server image since nextcloud version 18 in april. So i'm not shure if this is the right place to open this issue, but it is just contacts app related. I also didn't found a issue that matches with mine.

This weekend i tried to sync my phone contacts with the cloud and it works fine. But in the nextcloud.log there where a lot fatal errors that says, that for some action there is no permission and i tried out how to reproduce.

So it happens every time i open the contacts app and there are new contact entries. Sometimes the log entry also appears if i just open the app and there is no new entry. Therefore it doesn't matter if they are synced or created in the app itself. I tried both. I tried also contact entries with a picture. In the app it needs a short moment to load but this feels normal. So i recognize it only in the logs.

Maybe it is not realy a bug, because as user you did not recognize anything. But when i look into the logs, there are a lot of fatal error entries.
......

To Reproduce
Example Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the nextcloud contact app in the Browser
2. Create a contact, so you have a minimum of one contacts (or sync your phone contacts with CardDAV)
3. As admin go to the logs in the settings
4. See the fatal error "OCPFiles\NotPermittedException: Could not create path" there for mostly every contact
5. Mostly it happens again if you restart the contact app

Expected behavior
Nothing to mention in the log entries.

Actual behavior
In the nextcloud.log file is a fatal error entry

Hey! :)
Please check your data and data/appdata have correct permissions and owners.

[dorpauli]

Thanks for the fast help! :)

I looked into my data directory and every entry there is www-data:www-data also the appdata an the next subfolders.

[skjnldsv]

Can you do a ls -la data/appdata_*/dav-photocache/43C07B19* and copy/paste the results here please?

[dorpauli]

There is no 43c07... directory in the folder anymore. Maybe because i tried it with new contacts and the directorys changed.

Edit: I also recognize, that the entry under point 3 in the logs (43C07B19...) is a vcf-file. Maybe this helps...

I used the command ls -Rla data/appdata_*/dav-photocache and this was the output:

[skjnldsv]

There is no 43c07... directory in the folder anymore. Maybe because i tried it with new contacts and the directorys changed.

Edit: I also recognize, that the entry under point 3 in the logs (43C07B19...) is a vcf-file. Maybe this helps...

Well, it is a vcf yep, but then the folder should exists.
Can you run an occ files:scan-app-data please?

[dorpauli]

I did it right after your comment and this was the output:

Since that about 20 mins ago my server have a cpu load of 100% and i can't access the logs in the browser.

[skjnldsv]

Let it rest a bit. It was maybe a very expensive task for it.
I assume it should have fixed your issue. I don't know how you got stuck to this point. It seems your filecache had a mismatch between the appdata filesystem :shrug:
Keep me updated :)

[dorpauli]

After a while i got nervous, because it seemed to get worse. So i reboot the server and ran the command again. This time there where less folders and files in the output and it was faster.

Then i opened the contacts app and after that the logs. There was no new entry, so i thought that was it.

But than i created a new contact and the same behavior occurred.

I checked directly if the directory mentioned in the log entry exists. But it dosen't...

[dorpauli]

@skjnldsv This morning i tested further and my presumption was confirmed again. I found out that if i created a new account the error occur. Now if i open the contacts app again and again there is a big chance a new error will be written to the logs. If i run the command you told me to, this behavior is gone. Then there will be no new entry if i start the contact's app. But if i create a new contact it starts all over again.

[skjnldsv]

Is this the default nextcloudpi config?
Or did you changed some stuff?

You definitely have an appdata cache issue.
Can you try to disable memcache from your config?

[dorpauli]

I did some small changes in the nextcloud config, but nothing about the caching. The nextcloudpi-config is so far default, that i only did settings in the web panel.

It is also strange that everything else works very fine.

I don't know much about caching and am therefore rather careful about such changes. Is it enough to comment out the corresponding lines from the config? And is it easy to undo that?

[skjnldsv]

Is it enough to comment out the corresponding lines from the config? And is it easy to undo that?

Yes, just comment the memcache lines, try it again and uncoment them back after you tried

[dorpauli]

Ok i think i will turn it back again quickly. It is the same behavior for this issue after deactivating the redis cache in the config.php. New log entry:

There are also a lot new issues like this:

[dorpauli]

Hello @skjnldsv,

this morning i did a fresh install of nextcloudpi on a clean VM with the latest Debian AMD 64. For that i used the curl installer. After installation the first thing i did was to create a new contact.

I did not expect that, but the same error occured even there. It shows, that it is not related to my raspberry pi.

So if you want to reproduce it, you can do on any debian machine with the curl installer of nextcloudpi. It took me about 20 mins.

[skjnldsv]

What is the curl installer?
What Webserver did you choose?

[dorpauli]

I choose the latest Debian with smallest installation. You have to run

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/install.sh | bash

to automatically install the complete nextcloudpi configuration with apache. Its mostly like the configuration i mentioned in this issue.

After this you just have to type https://{ip-address-of-vm} in a browser from a pc in the same network (or you could also choose a desktop environment for debian an it should work with localhost from there), save both login data and activate it. Then you should enter the nextcloud instance via browser and can login with the ncp user and password.

Here's the link where the installation is described:

[skjnldsv]

Okay, so my question is why using nextcloudpi on your vm64 debian setup?
Keep in mind that nextcloudpi is not officially supported, and sinc I cannot reproduce your bug on a standard install, I'm more and more leaning toward this :thinking:

[skjnldsv]

Are you storing your data on external hard drive?
If so, what is the filesystem format?

[skjnldsv]

Pinging @nachoparker, does that ring a bell to you?
There is a mistmatch between the fs and the filecache. When creating a folder, the filecache register it but it doesn't exists on the FS, so of course writing onto it fails.

[dorpauli]

My real nextcloud setup is a raspberry pi 4, so i use the nextcloudpi image. I just wanted to test on a fresh installation.

Yes, in the raspberry pi data and database is stored on external btrfs hdd, but in the test on debian, everything runs on the virtual hard drive.

[skjnldsv]

Thanks for the debugging btw, really appreciate it :)
Redis is on the same machine, right? the host have been obfuscated in your config :ghost:

[dorpauli]

Redis runs locally on the same machine, yes. :)

No problem, I am really enthusiastic about nextcloud since i run my own server, but mostly don't have much time for it. I think about change to a mini server device so i can use the 64-bit architecture, but i don't know what device is best for it :D

[skjnldsv]

but i don't know what device is best for it

I personally am really fond of those optiplex micro/lenovo thinkcentre tiny., They idle at ~5w and can be upgraded to high end i5 cpu with m2 ssd ;)
I got 4 of them, and it's running awesomely!

[dorpauli]

Thank's for that advice, i'll have a look at that! :)

[dorpauli]

Are you storing your data on external hard drive?
If so, what is the filesystem format?

Now something else came in my mind. I also used BTRFS in the VM. Maybe it's no problem in standard ext4 or another FS.

[antondollmaier]

bug doesn't reappear on NextCloud 20. Sorry for the noise!

AppData was scanned again (with no changes), linux filesystem permissions are correct, APCu has been disabled, there's no directory for the mentioned UID existing (find ~/priv/nextcloud-data/appdata_ocwwan6xpw2k/ -name EA14AD51\* turns up no result).

I've debugged this down to a permission topic: PERMISSION_CREATE seems to be missing, but I don't see how this bug can be resolved.

Anybody else having an idea?

@antondollmaier Do you use BTRFS-Filesystem for the data directory instead of ext4? Maybe it got something to do with it like you can see in the posts above.

@skjnldsv Could you reproduce the error so far?

[cvandesande]

I have this same issue, Nextcloud 19.0.6 running in Docker, data on a Nextcloud code and userdata on a ZFS filesystem.

[skjnldsv]

@skjnldsv Could you reproduce the error so far?

I can't :(

[antondollmaier]

Hi,

@antondollmaier Do you use BTRFS-Filesystem for the data directory instead of ext4? Maybe it got something to do with it like you can see in the posts above.

Not really: ext4 on dedicated server at Hetzner.

But: issue didn't re-appear on NC20, so ... solved? :)

[dorpauli]

So yeah, i also upgraded to nc 20 and the problem doesn't appear again.

But the issue is still there in version 19.0.6 like @cvandesande wrote, so i think i can't close it. Version 19 is still supported.

[cvandesande]

If it helps, I just re-tested. Still running 19.0.6 (and contacts 3.4.2). I just tried to create a new contact called "Test" and my logs were spammed with messages like this

hello, this situation still appears with a fresh 19.0.8 version released yesterday and installed today.

also on 19.0.7 btw.

as last users said just above :

• a fresh nextcloud 19-fpm default install with docker
• go on contact page as a simple user, create a new contact, and get fatal error in logs.

• also happens on some other installations where we upgraded from nc18 to nc19, we did not face this before, but just after a nc19 upgrade, contact cards of all our users flood the logs with this error, not only for new contact created, but also for all other already existing contact in the contact app
