Hello everybody,
after my cubietruck fell down and my harddisk was destroyed, i decided to restore my backup on another server. Unfortunately the backup was still from version 4.6
After a few git commands the moved hub was raised to version 5..0.7. but apparently something went wrong with the addons.
@Hubzilla Support Forum
So i removed all addon repositories and added new ones. unfortunately the problem still exists.
in the log file the following error message appears:

2020-12-23T10:21:34Z:LOG_INFO:7fc0664acc:Addons.php:101:post: Repo directory does not exist: store/[data]/git/sys/extend/addon/hzaddons

There are addons in the directory "addons" but they are all from June. And I have addons in the directory "extend/addon/hzaddons".
In "store/[data]/git/sys/extend is a file "addon" which contains one single line: "/var/www/html/extend/addon". I edited this manually after I moved the hub because on my old hub hubzilla was installed in "/srv/http" instead of "/var/www/html".

Did I miss something?

I managed to reinstall the addons on my hub. For this I have deleted the folder "addon" and "extend/addon/hzaddons" and the folders "extend" and "temp" in ""store/[data]/git/sys" and ran "util/add_addon_repo" as described in the installation documentation. Everything is fine now. :-)

But can somebody tell me what's the use of "store/[data]/git/sys/extend" ??

I guess it's for the addons installed via the UI (/admin/addons/ -> manage repositories Install a New Addon Repository). Is that right or were the folders some remainders of my old installation? The code still exists in "Zotlabs/Module/Admin/Addons.php"

That's correct. That location is where things are stored if you use the admin UI to connect to addon repositories. Personally I always install addons from the command line; and this location (store/[data]/git/...) was chosen because the webserver UI is likely to have write access to it.

You might:

ls -l addon

and ensure that the symlinks all point to extend/addon/hzaddons

and if there are any that point to store/[data]/git you might unlink them and then run util/udall to recreate them with the updated/correct directory path. I don't know if this will be the case, but just mentioning to ensure you don't run into some inconsistency or surprise in the future.
