Error After Moving Directory

Hi,
I moved my nextcloud directory from /var/www/directory1 to /var/www/directory2 and now I am getting an error when i load the page: " Error

Your data directory is invalidEnsure there is a file called “.ocdata” in the root of the data directory."

How do I fix this issue? The file is there, in /var/www/directory2/nextcloud/data/.ocdata but it still doesnt work. Anyone know a fix?

Thanks,
Kian

Will all my users, etc be removed, or is it all stored on the database?

I have moved my nextcloud to a different directory, and I am asking if my data will get removed because of this?
