[Ecmoechr]

Can anybody tell me, what is to be done? Do I have to install a patch, update the database? I am running with the newest nextcloud-version, but error still exists. Thank you!

[samuelstein]

I got he error for the first time after updating my nextcloud instance from 27 to 28.0.1.
In the log he is accompanied with the following one:
Undefined array key 0 at /var/owncloud/nextcloud-install/apps/files/lib/Controller/ViewController.php#240.

One of our users reported a problem with our 28.0.1 installation this morning and the error looks the similar.

Same here for another user, also updated to 28 from 27.
"url":"/nextcloud/index.php/apps/files/?dir=/&fileid=2","message":"Undefined array key 0 at /var/www/nextcloud/apps/files/lib/Controller/ViewController.php#240" and gets a 500 when trying to access his instance.

[joshtrichards]

@samuelstein @belzebub40k @JappeHallunken Your reported matters fixed in #42427 / #42524 and will be released in the next NC28 point release (you're welcome to apply and test the contents of #42524 though - it's already been merged for release - if you don't wish to to wait). Unfortunately I don't think your situations are directly related to the original reporter's issue though.

[joshtrichards]

@sschwalbe I'm also confused about your original report because your config is from v26.0.1, but your log entry is from v24.0.1.1. The log entry also seems to be from a year prior to your original report. In addition #31771 wasn't merged until after your report - it was still a work in process and the code evolved further so your early testing may not be representative of the end product.

@sschwalbe & @Ecmoechr - Are either of you still experiencing this with newer versions of NC?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity and seems to be missing some essential information. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[samuelstein]

It's fixed for me in 28.0.2
