Hi Clabin,
Make sure you have all the same PHP modules and packages installed for the newer PHP version.
dpkg -l | grep php should show you all installed PHP packages, and compare your old version with the newly installed version.
The error message says that it can’t find the PHP driver to connect to the DB.
Also make sure to restart your apache-php setup after successful installation, to enable the additional modules.

Edit: the gists are kind of useless, as long as we don’t know how they’ve been created. There can be a difference in version between the PHP version on the CLI and the one being used in Apache. Have a look at this other topic with a simliar problem:

Php version is incorrect but I have php7.3.9

Hi Julio, Have a look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/. Make sure you enable the correct PHP version in apache, available versions should be visible in /etc/apache2/mods-available/. To enable the corrrect version use the a2enmod command. Afterwards restart your apache with systemctl restart apache2. Please be aware that ownCloud only supports PHP 7.3 with the upcoming version 10.3. Cheers, Erik

Did you read this line in the last post before yours?

Please be aware that ownCloud only supports PHP 7.3 with the upcoming version 10.3.

So you should downgrade php to 7.2 or, if this is not a productive environment, you might want to upgrade to ownCloud 10.3 RC1:

ownCloud Server 10.3.0 RC1 is available

We’re aiming at having the final release by the beginning of October after confirming that there are no critical issues to fix. Please note that since 10.2.0 we’ve switched to using a release branch( release-10.3.0 ). This means that any changes for 10.3.0 must be based on this branch and should also target the release branch. Download https://download.owncloud.org/community/testing/owncloud-10.3.0RC1.tar.bz2 If you are upgrading manually, please make sure to properly remove the old source…

Hey,

additional to the hint given by @cortho i think you should make sure when upgrading a PHP installation from e.g. 7.0 to a later version that all required PHP extensions are installed for the new PHP version:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.2/admin_manual/installation/manual_installation.html#php-extensions

It seems to me that users are constantly struggling with the “Failed to connect to the database: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver” message because they are missing this step when upgrading PHP.

Hey,

i don’t think this problem is related to the original question. Maybe a moderator can move this into a new thread?

[eneubauer]

I agree with you, however this doesn’t seem to exist in the admin post edit section.
Anyway, enough off topic, I’m closing this topic.

@Clabin please open a new topic, especially if you have a new problem
