Hello again,
now I have found the data but I would like to copy the files to the 2TB HDD.

I have use this commands:
cp -r /media/nextcloud/* /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data/`

After that i have change in the config.php from
'datadirectory' => '/media/nextcloud'

to
'datadirectory' => '/media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data/'.

Now the cloud are doesn’t work.

She write:
Data directory (/media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data) is invalid
Please check that the data directory contains a file “.ocdata” in its root.

The .ocdata file are in the nextcloud-data.

Why is doesn’t work?

Best regards,
Christoph

I’m guessing you have a permission issue. Is the user, Nextcloud is running as, able to access the files at the new location?

Also, did you update the oc_storage table in database? For instructions on moving the data directory, see Is there a safe and reliable way to move data directory out of web root?. Those steps worked for me, but keep in mind that it is not supported and may not work in all cases.

Hello,
thank you for the link.

Now I have change the link in oc_storage, controll again in config.php, restart apache, and doesn’t work.

The cloud give me these infos:

Data directory (/media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data) is invalid
Please check that the data directory contains a file ".ocdata" in its root.
				
Cannot create "data" directory (/media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data)
This can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the root directory.

I use these code for the permission:
a) sudo chown www-data /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data
b) chown www-data:root /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data

I don’t know why is the problem.

Best regards,
Christoph

Did you try

sudo chown -R www-data /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data

so that all files under this sub directory have this permission?
is there a file .ocdata in this subdirectory ?
Try

ls /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data/.ocdata_

is it availlable

Regarding,
The .ocdata_ file doesn’t copy from the other disk.
I created manuell and is normaly not viewed.

I mus take the shortcut strg+h
After that I can see the .ocdata_

If I use nur shell code ls /media/mypc/HDD-Name/nextcloud-data/.ocdata_ I don’t get any information from the shell.

Best regards,
Christoph

.ocdata**_** ?

It should be “.ocdata” …

root@uplink:/home/nas# ls -a /media/500_1/nextcloud/data/.ocdata
/media/500_1/nextcloud/data/.ocdata
