My installation seems to be working well, now I want to do a little bit to secure it. I have Nextcloud 10 on Ubuntu 16.04. It seems like the first thing I should do is move my data directory out of web root. I SO don’t want to break my installation. Is there a good tutorial on how to accomplish …

Be aware, moving the data dir after installation is not supported and may cause issues. Edit 2017 (as this is a popular topic): If you have a fresh install, consider reinstalling with your preferred directory location. Unofficially moving the data directory can be done as follows: Make sure no …

I am not skilled at linux or apache, etc. I just got NC 12.0.0 up and running following the manual install instructions and the default installation path when first starting nextcloud 192.168.1.xxx/nextcloud put the data in the webpath apparently. I’d like to uninstall everything and start over. I…

Thanks for support! I have moved data directory to /opt/data and I can see data in the NextCoud App. BUT I can’t upload any files, error is “Forbiden”. In the Admin/Basic Settings I see error: Error occurred while checking server setup In the Admin panel Logs never show up. I see file under /…/d…

Just to move your data you don’t need to reinstall. But how did you install it? Via apt-get or with the zip? Don’t purge mySQL or Apache, there’s no need. You can instead make a new database as part of the reinstall. Don’t put your data in /home/ as there can be issues with ownership, rather use /…

I have tried to: sudo chmod -R 777 /opt all /opt is owned by httpd:httpd still no success… Log says: Aug 15 16:34:05 nextcloud httpd[3000]: [:error] [pid 3000] [client 192.168.20.125:42994] {"reqId":"WZL4TXCfAMRB0DF7mRLwegAAAAM","level":3,"time":"2017-08-15T13:34:05+00:00","remoteAddr":"192.168.…

Thank you for your response: [image] JasonBayton: Just to move your data you don’t need to reinstall. But how did you install it? Via apt-get or with the zip? Actually I have no data to move as I have not done anything with Nextcloud itself other than install it. I have not placed any files …

[image] Tom_Forge: I’m really confused and didn’t find/understand the help on what is going on in Linux by referencing the admin manual. I am guessing that MySQL is going to put the database for Nextcloud where I designate the datapath during the initial setup of Nextcloud. But I am not sure abo…

That helps straighten things out for me, plus I had a chance this morning to checkout the howto Tutorial: How to migrate mass data to a new NextCloud server so between your response and that article I think I have it squared away in my head and I am pleased to see the files are being stored on the s…
