I created a number of usernames with space in the middle like this This creates a problem - they cannot be mentioned in comments, they come up as usernotknown Can this be fixed? Any other work around this issue? Thank you

The path to NC’s datadir is set in /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

Yeah - I thought I had a link Anyhow - it turns out that what I want is not possible. Here’s a link to a suggestion I made about this topic in the Development Channel of this forum It gives a different link to migrating users and recreating them.

Thank you - yes its helpful in hindsight. I suggested in the Development channel that the registartion process does not accept a username with space in the middle. Cheers

Hmm I just wouldn’t know how to collect the log files. where from . apologies for that

Anyway, you have answer to your question: changing username is not supported by NC Only workaround I can think of is : create a newuser, cp all nc/data/olduser/files to newuser/files. run fix-permissions an scan --all. If all files are okay, then can remove olduser and olduser/files.

ok thank you I appreciate your help just one more little question - where is nc folder located?? is it in var or in home?? I thought it was in var/www/nextcloud/data/ I can only see the ncp dir but I can’t find the users dirs

What about talk chat history if we go through this option? I tested this option, no chat history there

Change username? Is it possible?
