I could not get Nextcloud to start after hot syncing to a new machine so I removed and reinstalled Nextcloud now I’m getting a screen stating "Error while trying to create admin user: "Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘nextcloud’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)"Create an admin account I have an admin account. I used the following to remove and reinstall. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Probably caused by password mismatch between the password stored in mysql for nextcloud user and the password used to connect to the database (stored in /var/lib/nethserver/secrets/nextcloud).
Are you intending to do a new clean install (as you removed the database) or to recover the old one (importing database from backup, fixing mysql’s nextcloud user password and the password stored in secrets/nextcloud file to match…)?
Drop the MySQL database: /opt/rh/rh-mariadb105/root/bin/mysql --socket="/var/run/rh-mariadb105-mariadb/nextcloud-mysql.sock" -e "drop database nextcloud;"
Remove the packages: yum remove nethserver-nextcloud
Remove the whole Nextcloud directory: rm -rf /usr/share/nextcloud/
Remove the e-smith DB configuration: config delete nextcloud
Remove the NethServer config directory (WARNING: will remove user data): rm -rf /var/lib/nethserver/nextcloud
Thanks for the quick response, I just want to do a complete new install however when I run the command /opt/rh/rh-mariadb105/root/bin/mysql --socket=“/var/run/rh-mariadb105-mariadb/nextcloud-mysql.sock” -e “drop database nextcloud;” I get the following error.
Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/rh-mariadb105-mariadb/nextcloud-mysql.sock’ (2)
Sorry its took me so long to get back to you looks like Nethserver is running the current version of mysql. I have attached an screenshot of the screen that loads when I try to access Nextcloud, thank you for all your help.
