I have been trying to install Nextcloud on my Alpine-Linux-based server using the occ maintenance:install --database "pgsql" --database-name "dbname" ... command, but I am only greeted with exceptions.
Initially, the complaint was
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: database "dbname" does not exist in /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php:61
in response to which I created the "dbname" database for my Nextcloud database explicitly and granted all rights to that psql user. However, while the occ procedure then seemed to be able to connect to the database, it followed up complaining about
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42P01]: Undefined table: 7 ERROR: relation "oc_appconfig" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM "oc_appconfig"
^ in /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOConnection.php:104
Well, duh. Isn't occ supposed to CREATE that table (as well as all the others needed) during the installation process?
I'm slowly running out of ideas what could cause this kind of behaviour and would appreciate any hints on how to find out what is going wrong...
Some related software versions, in case that's relevant:
- OS: Alpine Linux 3.7
- PostgreSQL 10.3
- PHP 7.1.17
- Nextcloud 12.0.6
- Nginx 1.12.2

I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but did you run
occcommand as the usernextcloud? – Jakub Jirutka – 2018-05-13T19:15:13.523It is probably relevant, but yes, I did that (well, as the nginx user, as I have no separate nextcloud user set up on my system) – Sty – 2018-05-14T08:10:06.760
