Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): `24.0.2
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Linux 5.15.46-Unraid x86_64
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): idk
PHP version (eg, 7.4): idk
I am using the Linuxserver.io docker container for UnRAID, also using mariaDB,

The issue you are facing:

Trying to add ‘shared_folder’ => ‘/delt_med_meg’, to config.php to make a folder for shared elements, but that folder is not showing up in GUI, not even for new shares shared after the edit, and I have also tried to restart container, not working eiher.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): kind of, tried multiple times

Steps to replicate it:

  1. edit config.php
  2. save file

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
  'datadirectory' => '/data',
  'instanceid' => 'XXX',
  'passwordsalt' => 'XXX',

  'trusted_domains' =>
  array (
    0 => 'nextcloud.XXX',

Output errors in nextcloud.log in /var/www/ or as admin user in top right menu, filtering for errors. Use a pastebin service if necessary.

can’t find that

Have you set the correct rights for the folder and all subdirs and subfiles?
E.g. chown -R www-data:www-data /delt_med_meg
Also check the rights of the mountpoint.
Is in this folder the correct substructure e.g. dirs like usernames, …

Also, I have not made any real folder, is that even necessary?

Hi @flemmingss

There is a typo in your config. The correct parameter would be: 'share_folder' without the “d”

And yes your assumption that only things shared with you after the change in config.php will show up in it is correct. But you can manually move files to it that were previously shared with you.

No it’s not. But afaik the folder only appears after someone has shared something with you, after you made the change in config.php

The typo was my only mistake :stuck_out_tongue: works now
