Nextcloud Reinstall Fails - Database Password

[Lee Spangler]

I am having trouble reinstalling Nextcloud via the plugin.

The installation window does not show the database password. I can't discern how to reset the password either.

When I use mysql_secure_installation command, it is clear there is a root password. I am very frustrated. I am willing to completely delete the mysql database, but I can't even discover how to wipe the installation.

Any help in getting past this problem.

Here is what the install window displays after installation. No DB password is provided:

Same problem here.

The installation window does not show the database password.

It's in the root directory of the plugin jail in a file named something like PLUGIN_INFO.

Ah thanks that worked. It doesn't solve the problem but it works. :)

It doesn't solve the problem

Of course not--the problem is that iX are shipping a half-baked plugin, requiring you to manually perform tasks that should be done automatically on installation of the plugin. And they've been sitting on a PR that would completely fix this issue for over two months.
