Vm: "Error updating .htaccess file"

[luisBSBDATA]

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up an Ubuntu Server 18.04
2. Install Nextcloud VM using the provided script (nextcloud_install_production.sh)
3. Choose to install "Calendar", "Contacts", "CanIUpdate", "IssueTemplate" and "Passman" as additional apps

Expected behaviour

Finish the installation without errors

Actual behaviour

It shows those errors:

Server configuration

Server version: Ubuntu Server 18.04

How did you install the VM? From the script

[enoch85]

Disabling incomaptible apps is not a bug, it's a feature.

I will check the other error.

[enoch85]

Nope, everything works here: https://0bin.net/paste/pnWR-AUwXs5NdMit#zFLjwi2nwZS0JK3orexadrKpYiIe-ce69y9ok9rsvCB

I can confirm the following error where script will break:

[enoch85]

@luisBSBDATA Ok, so is that when doing an upgrade from 13.0.6 on Ubuntu 16.04?

Please give me the exact steps to reproduce.

[enoch85]

How does your overwrite.cli.url look like?

[nxtester]

Nope, clean install from clean reference platform "Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS 64-bit " according to recommended specs:

Thick provisioned (better performance and easier to maintain)
DHCP available
40 GB HDD for OS
4 vCPU
4 GB RAM

I use this reference VM for some weeks and had never a problem related to the platform. You can get Teamviewer access if u need it :-)

[enoch85]

@nxtester That's very strange. I installed 13.0.6 yesterday using the scripts, and today I updated that VM.

So, how can we do the exact same thing and get different results?

Is this during updating or installing?

[nxtester]

During second part after first reboot.

[enoch85]

During second part after first reboot.

Please be more specific. Do you mean in the startup script?

[nxtester]

I the last 3 days I tried every day a new installation w/o success. Errors have been communicated and approved. Sorry, I am not a linux guy. OK, I started "sudo bash nextcloud_install_production.sh" and it went fine until first reboot. Then I logged in and second part started, first explanation about all steps (big information box) and then after a while script stopped by error.

[nxtester]

Can do it again, made a snapshot after successful first stage / reboot.

[nxtester]

First initial user (standard in reference VM) was "linux", second user made by script was "ncadmin". Script continued then with "ncadmin". Maybe important to know?

[nxtester]

This is what I call "stage 2 after first reboot":

Then:

Then two questions (keyboard, timezone) and script will break.

[enoch85]

I found the error and will fix it.

Thanks for reporting!

[enoch85]

@nxtester Can you please path your setup script with the fix in the PR and see it it works?

[luisBSBDATA]

Disabling incompatible apps is not a bug, it's a feature.

Oh, okay. So I assume that I'll be able to update and activate them from Nextcloud in the future, right?

@nxtester Can you please path your setup script with the fix in the PR and see it it works?

It's already fixed then? I will rollback my VM to a clean state and try again, then I will get back to you. Thanks again!

[enoch85]

Please do!

[nxtester]

Checked it and changed script. Error seemes to be fixed, but anyway not possible to finish regularly. Here is the next error where script will break:

Thanks for your appreciated work!

[luisBSBDATA]

Tried again and this is what I got:

[enoch85]

@luisBSBDATA OK, can you please give me the exact steps to reproduce? The fix worked for me.

[luisBSBDATA]

@luisBSBDATA OK, can you please give me the exact steps to reproduce? The fix worked for me.

• I rolled back my VM to a clean state.

• I re-download the "nextcloud_install_production.sh" script and executed it

• I ran through all the install process until the first reboot, then it failed just after asking me if I wanted to change the timezone. The other error was further than that new one.

[enoch85]

@luisBSBDATA But you have to edit the script before you run it. The code isn't in master yet. That's how you test stuff. :)

So please try again and add the fix that I made from the PR

[luisBSBDATA]

Okay, I thought it was already merged with master. Let me try again then :)

[luisBSBDATA]

Now that's what I got if I choose to install Passman:

[nxtester]

Same here.

[enoch85]

Great! So the .htaccess issue is gone?

For the other error: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/11070

[nxtester]

So the .htaccess issue is gone?

For me I can approve that .htaccess issue was gone after modifying script.

[nxtester]

BTW one question: Is there any disadvantage to uncheck all NC apps (lika Passman) and install it later by NC portal?

[luisBSBDATA]

Great! So the .htaccess issue is gone?

Yeah, thanks one more time @enoch85 for your time and patience

BTW one question: Is there any disadvantage to uncheck all NC apps (lika Passman) and install it later by NC portal?

Im interested on it too

[enoch85]

What the script does is installing the app from App Store via CLI (the Nextcloud built in occ command), so no, there are no difference.

Will release Nextcloud 14 soon!

[enoch85]

And guys, THANKS for testing!

[nxtester]

Thanks to you, Enoch85. We are only helping a little.

Will release Nextcloud 14 soon!

Soon or sooner? ;-))

[luisBSBDATA]

Nice, I will install them manually post-installation then. Thank YOU @enoch85, I will keep on posting if I find out something else 👍
