Anacron job 'cron.daily' on omvserver error message received

Dear all good day,

On Sunday i updated my Nextcloud instance to version 24.0.1 (through docker), but before that i had to update my php version to 7.4 (i had 7.3 previously).

After having done this, all seemed to be working correctly until i received below message today:

Zitat

/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-pending_config_changes:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'yaml.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20180731/yaml.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/yaml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20180731/yaml.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/yaml.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

Should i be worried about it?

Is there anything i can do to fix this error?

Thank you beforehand for your replies.

Why did you updated PHP to v7.4?

Nextcloud running on docker doesn't use PHP from the host.

And if you had PHP v7.3 means you're running OMV 5 and its required by it.

I did the update because my nextcloud instance went into maintenance mode and the prerequisite for it to return back to normal mode was that i should update PHP to at least 7.4.

I did as such and nextcloud resumed the update process and now it is working.

This does not make sense, if nextcloud is running inside a docker container php is running inside the container as well.

Do you have a backup of you OS disk?

i think i have kept one, but i have to find it. I moved to a new house recently and most of my things are inside wooden box in the basement.

Why the backup OS disk is needed? for restoring purposes?

Zitat von Zoki

You changed parts of the OMV system by installing php 7.4 on the server. I am not going to fix it, so you will have to restore a backup. You could try to undo what you have done to install php 7.4 but resoring is nuch easier.

If you really need php 7.4 (which I doubt) go for OMV6.

What is the downside of leaving it as it is?

Zitat von Zoki

Depending on how you did it dependency errors when upgrading packages

i used this guide:

https://computingforgeeks.com/…all-latest-php-on-debian/

but without the part from "Using PHP with NginX" ownwards.

I have to ask:

What OMV are you running?

Do you still have access to the OMV GUI?

Did you reboot after upgrading PHP?

I am running the latest 5.X version ( i cannot tell exactly which since i am at the office)

I can login to OMV GUI normally.

I have not rebooted my server after upgrading PHP.

Zitat von Zoki

You basically said: "Replace the files in my OMV installation with what you find in the foreign repo" and install php-7.4

This may work, but ...

so, from my understanding, so far everything seems to be working except updates notification?

i wanted to transit to OMV6, but i was thinking on doing it on a another machine i wanted to build, due to the fact that i will need two hours at least to have it configured again.

Oh well, i guess i should find a weekend that i would be free to do a fresh install of OMV 6

Zitat von Zoki

As I said, this may work for some time. But as you posted in #1 OMV is already missing a library to read yaml files. There may be more.

What you could do is to take notes on how you set it up as long as it works and do a fresh install of OMV6 once it does no longer work.

wouldn't this solve the error of my first post?

sudo apt-get install python-yaml
