Cant Access my Owncloud after Webhoster has upgraded to php 7.2

Hi folks,

This is my first post here and I want to express friendly “Hi” to everybody…

I am nor sure whether I have uses the correct category. Never mind…

My Webhoster hast recently updated to php 7.2 and I was late to update my Owncloud. I can now not access my backend anymore and have no clue how to update Owncloud.

I have FTP access to my webspace. Does that work. If yes, please help me to understand what to do. I am not totally computer illiterate but I am not very knowledgeable with Owncloud either. My Owncloud Version is 7.2.13-he.0.

Many thanks for your help

```


**The content of config/config.php:**

```
Log in to the web-UI with an administrator account and click on
'admin' -> 'Generate Config Report' -> 'Download ownCloud config report'
This report includes the config.php settings, the list of activated apps
and other details in a well sanitized form.

or 

If you have access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ config:list system
from within your ownCloud installation folder

*ATTENTION:* Do not post your config.php file in public as is. Please use one of the above
methods whenever possible. Both, the generated reports from the web-ui and from occ config:list
consistently remove sensitive data. You still may want to review the report before sending.
If done manually then it is critical for your own privacy to dilligently
remove *all* host names, passwords, usernames, salts and other credentials before posting.
You should assume that attackers find such information and will use them against your systems.
```

**List of activated apps:**

```
If you have access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ app:list
from within your ownCloud installation folder.
```

**Are you using external storage, if yes which one:** local/smb/sftp/...

**Are you using encryption:** yes/no

**Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one:** LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...

#### LDAP configuration (delete this part if not used)

```
With access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config
from within your ownCloud installation folder

Without access to your command line download the data/owncloud.db to your local
computer or access your SQL server remotely and run the select query:
SELECT * FROM `oc_appconfig` WHERE `appid` = 'user_ldap';


Eventually replace sensitive data as the name/IP-address of your LDAP server or groups.
```

for clarification:

I have currently installed Owncloud 7.2.13

My Webspace is running on php 7.2

I cannot Access my owncloud through the browser neither as admin nor as user. If try doing so I receive the prompt

“This version of ownCloud is not compatible with PHP 7.2
You are currently running 7.2.13-he.0.”

I kindly ask for support of how to upgrade to an Owncloud version which is compatible with php7.2.

The only way I can access my web space for owncloud is via ftp.

Sorry in case important information is missing. Please let me know what additional info you need to make a good judgement.

Best regards
Klaus

Hey,

i don’t think that there was ever an ownCloud 7.2.13 version. Could you try to have a look into your config/config.php file to see the actual ownCloud version?
