No login after upgrade from 9.1.8 to 10.1.1.1

Hi,
ownCloud version downgrades are not supported.
If you still have a backup of your old version, you should be able to restore that.

When doing an upgrade especially a more complicated one it’s always good to work on copy of your production setup to figure out the way. Once you have a confirmed working upgrade path you can apply it to your production setup.

So as I see it right now, you’ve upgraded your PHP from 5.x to 7.3, upgraded your Debian from 9 to 10 and upgraded your ownCloud from 9.1 to 10.3.2

If I was going to do this I would do it like so:

  1. Create a new Debian 10 VM
  2. Install old PHP and new PHP on the new VM
  3. Copy ownCloud installation to new VM with old PHP enabled
  4. Upgrade ownCloud
  5. Enable new PHP
  6. Make sure everything works
  7. Rerun steps 3-4 but migrate this time

There is a multitude of options available, this is just one example of how to do it. There is no right or wrong really as long as you have a clean, secure, working setup at the end.
Another option could be to upgrade PHP & ownCloud on the old server, so you have cleaner setup on the new server.

Make sure you have your log level on 0, try logging in and check /var/log/apache2/error.log and /path/to/your/owncloud/data/owncloud.log. There must be more than just “login failed”.
