This version can't be wrong as oC is using a PHP native function / constant to get the current PHP version. You will also get the same result / version 5.5.9 shown when putting a phpinfo side-by-side to the ownCloud files.

This shows that your PHP environment / webserver is mis-configured to run .php files via the mentioned (outdated) PHP version as pointed out in this message.

An exception occured in driver: could not

This shows that your php cli version (this has a different php.ini and loads modules / extensions separately) is missing the needed PHP DB driver.

If you need support on how to correctly configure both, a newer PHP version and the DB driver in your environment please jump over to one of the resources listed at [1].

If this is your own server, I would consider upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, then you have PHP 7.0 with better performance and you can use the native caching packages. With 14.04 you need backports or other 3rd-party packages, especially if you start a setup, I'd try to avoid it.

Hi tflidd,

I've updated the server to 16.04 but when running
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/owncloud/occ
I get the same error

An unhandled exception has been thrown:
Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver in /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/DB/Connection.php:63

Any idea?

Thanks

Georg

See the previous comment about that:

Hi,

just for information.

The problem was solved after I've installed all requested packages from php 7.0 and 7.1 in parallel.
