Update of Ubuntu Server 16.04 broke my OwnCloud 9 server?

Question

I'm running a small server for domestic use with Ubuntu server 16.04 LTS and Owncloud. I keep my server up to date with apt-get update/upgrade. Yesterday evening 26 July 2016 I did an update resulting in approx. 35 packages being updated. Next: My OC client couldn't connect to my server anymore. The webpage of OC looks alright but when I try to login, there's no response. Just Username, Password and no message about what so ever. Couldn't find anything in the server logs. I tried to connect via OCC (an owncloud commandline tool), that worked. So OC is running all right.

Result: After updating Ubuntu server 16.04. No access to OwnCloud is possible with the oc-client and/or oc webinterface.

Checked the OC logging. Nothing. Clean. Checked the Apache logging. (File /var/log/apache2/error.log) again. Nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thanx.

Hans.

go into your /var/www/owncloud folder, or wherever you installed your owncloud instance. look for a directory called "config" then a file called config.php edit the line in the file that reads maintenance => true and make it maintenance => false. To edit you might have to chown to www-data.

Terminal: 1.cd /var/www/owncloud/config/ 2.sudo nano config.php 3.change line to 'maintenance =>false' 4.save the file, reboot the system 5.enter owncloud through your browser, you might have to perform an update. 6. when its done you should be ok
