I am trying to install Nextcloud to a directory on a mounted drive at /media/mickey/drive2/nextcloud/data. Using the GUI or command line install, I keep getting the error message “Can’t create or write into the data directory.” I have read a number of posts here on the forum but solutions noted have not worked.
Permissions on my directories are as follows:
mickey@dbserver:/media/mickey/drive2$ ls -l
total 20
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Aug 23 11:33 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 23 14:45 nextcloud
mickey@dbserver:/var/www$ ls -l
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 19 13:19 html
drwxr-x— 5 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 19 17:46 mbdlocal
drwxr-xr-x 14 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 23 12:11 nextcloud
The mount command indicates:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/mickey/drive2 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uhelper=udisks2)
During a previous install, since removed, I was able to install using /var/www/nextcloud/data. When I checked the permissions, they were the same. I do need to have the data on this larger mounted drive but am not certain what to check next.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
