[Bug]: Cron "Some jobs have not been executed since X days." even though cron.php run every 5 minutes
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- [X] This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- [X] This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- [X] Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- [X] I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
Nextcloud says that some background jobs have not been executed since 6 days, even though cron.php is executed by www-data every 5 minutes.
Furthermore, changing the cron mode to webcron also fails:
occ background:webcron
In AppConfig.php line 823:
conflict between new type (mixed) and old type (string)
background:webcron
When I manually execute sudo -u www-data php -f cron.php, the command exits immediately
Steps to reproduce
I have no idea how to reproduce this. The error just occurred after migrating this nextcloud instance from another server.
Expected behavior
should just work™.

I guess close this out once you're comfortable it's covering the same territory as that issue. :-)
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity and seems to be missing some essential information. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
