Issuing a yum update will install the package from EPEL, where the installation path differs, therefore the access forbidden error:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /nextcloud on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Mind the Nextcloud path:

[authz_core:error] [pid 2326] [client 192.168.2.132:53424] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/nextcloud/index.php
[authz_core:error] [pid 2326] [client 192.168.2.132:53424] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/nextcloud/core/templates/403.php

Hello,

FYI
this is the error:
Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /nextcloud on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

and apache log:
[authz_core:error] [pid 6760] [client 1*******] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/nextcloud/core/templates/403.php

No worries, thanks for reporting. I’ve moved your post under this bug report.

To get it working on a test machine I’ve run the following commands:

yum remove nextcloud
yum install nethserver-nextcloud nextcloud-10.0.2

To exclude epel’s nextcloud packages from updates:

The fix is almost ready! :grin:

Thanks @dnutan ! I had the same problem.

EPEL will provide packages only for Nextcloud 10, since PHP 5.4 is the only official supported PHP version in CentOS 7.

We must obviously switch to Nextcloud 11 as soon as possible, but I need a little time to work on it as a someone has already found a bug in the new RPM.

You can find more info on the packager blog:

10

Do you see the possibility to enable Centos Software Collections? AFAIK they provide at least php5.6

11

It’s enabled by default in NethServer 7, this is why we can switch to Nextcloud 11 but we can’t count on EPEL support.
