The issue you are facing:
I crate an external storage of type local. This is not useable.
Steps:
- Create an external storage of type “local”, referring to a local directory. (which is in fact an SMB mount). Folder is named “media”
- Log in as a user:
Expected behavior: The folder “media” is visible in the home screne.
Actual behavior: The folder “media” is not visible - Click on “external storage”
- Click on "media"
Expected behavior: The contents of the media folder appear
Actual behavior: Web page reloads, an the main home screen appears.
There are no entries in the log file that appear to have anything to do with this issue.
Apache (and php-fpm) run as the user “apache”. I tested that this user can read this directory by doing a “sudo -u apache ls /data/media” and this appears to work, so there are no access issues.
What is going on here? Basically this just fails silently, which is rather hard to debug…
