Do I have to change the fstab options? I can write into the datadirectory as user www-data nonetheless. Permissions are all set accordingly. What am I missing here? No additional apps are installed.

fstab is currently like UUId = ... /media/sda1 ext4 defaults 0 0

3

Does it exist:

ls -l /media/sda1/nextcloud/nc_data/Matthias/files

Owner is www-data?

I think the error log does not match to the command.

It does exist. The datadirectory was already working in another instance. I was forced to set it up again.

There aren´t any other errors in the logfile, too.

6

Perhaps a bug. Read

7

Ah ok. Thanks. Fixing php.ini did the trick I think. What is also strange that I wasn´t able to install the maps app. Following error did appear:
GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 10461771 out of 16218720 bytes received (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

8

30 seconds is a short time … increase the value.

9

How do I do that? I uploaded a file as a test into NC and it works fine. What puzzles me is that the filescan doesn´t work.

10

No real idea. Is there direct an error after command line for scan?
Perhaps you can test the scan with a test dir direct on the system like /var/www/nextcloud/data

11

Strangely, now works the filescan. But it detects only like 64 NC files, not my data files.

12

If I delete them, the scan throws errors again:

Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (Matthias)
Home storage for user Matthias not writable
Make sure you're running the scan command only as the user the web server runs as
13

Maybe I´ll do it the hard way and reupload everything.

14

Is all set to www-data? Run with sudo for www-data:
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --all

Please post command and direct the errors and not only the errors. Thanks.

15

Exactly what I did.

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --all
Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (Matthias)
Home storage for user Matthias not writable
Make sure you're running the scan command only as the user the web server runs as

“datadirectory” in config/config.php?
all rights correct?

17

Yes.
'datadirectory' => '/media/sda1/nextcloud/nc_data/Matthias/files',

18

Can you copy all to /var/www/nextcloud/data or simmilar path, change config an rescan? Perhaps it is the mount point or the length of the path.

19

Ok I will try this.

20

So putting test files into /var/www/nextcloud/data … works seamlessy. I´ll try switching back now.
