-rw-rr-- 1 www-data www-data 34520 Mar 11 10:52 COPYING There are also few topics about it, but it does not help for me. I got into "Can't create or write into the data directory /mnt/nextcloud", Now I tried to setup a fresh nextcloud where I want to choose the location during the installation and still I am having the same problem, I did change the permission as below and have the same error (Can't create or write into the data directory /mnt/nextcloud), New installation accepts only the location "/usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/data", where is the problem and how do I fix this? As you can see in my 100-nextcloud.conf, it has line: Header always set Referrer-Policy no-referrer. Only if you do not already syncing the root folder of your Nextcloud, which then would also include this newly created folder. You mean the UNIX user1? After doing so you can use occ to scan the new location and update the database accordingly as needed. Well, Stefan it really sucks that no one helped you out since I am having the exact same issue and cannot find a solution. Thanks for the pointer on the config file. This allows you to overwrite the files that are shipped by default with Nextcloud in core/skeleton. The following permission are working now for user1: /var/ncData/user1 >> Symlink 777 (standard) Hence for me, phpMyAdmin was a boon. These are the only locations the snap can access under confinement with the removable-media plug. I would probably just start over in this case or do a lot of reading on how those permissions are set. But now I would like to have all data in a different drive. First set up the new database, here called new_db_name. As there still appear qu. them in directory that is readable by the webserver user. Edit the database: In oc_storages change the path on the local::/old-data-dir/ entry. So by just moving the data directory to another location and change the 'datadirectory' directive inside config.php, the oc_filecache will be full of wrong entries from the old location, where the files entries for the new location are missing, thus no files will be shown inside Nextcloud. What about other app on server? You can convert a SQLite database to a better performing MySQL, MariaDB or Just to mention (because i was thinking of that) there is no need to name your new path data at the very end. If I am not right, please, explain how to fix this when Nextcloud installed in this directory. Nextcloud directory can be found at /usr/share/nextcloud.

Hi All, I am a newbie here and really appreciate this thriving community. If altering the database on data dir transfer is recommended, then this should be just the same when migrating a Nextcloud instance to a different server and having a different data dir path there.
