New Install - Moved data location missing .ocdata

šŸš§ Installation
#1

Hi,

Iā€™m new to NextCloud and to UnRaid.
I got NextCloud up and running but decided to move the data location without realising the issues it would cause.
I now get an error saying that my .ocdata file is missing - (it is)

Iā€™ve seen some comments about running a scan but I donā€™t understand how Iā€™m supposed to run these.

Iā€™m a little familiar with the terminal but I donā€™t know what I should be doing to fix my install.

Please helpā€¦

It is always good to start searching the forum for existing answers to similar requests:

Thanks, I have already done several searches on the net but unfortunately I cannot see an answer to my problem.
Most seem to relate the file already existing.

That said, this one result might help

I will see what this brings up

I have tried to wipe NextClould from Docker, reinstalled and linked a different share and I still get the same error.

#6

The commands with ā€œgrepā€ are all wrong.

Please post your datadir in
/var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php

Then
ls -al /path/to/datadir

and scan all:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --all
Post errors

Thanks,
I pulled that from the other thread.

I assume that these need to be entered into to the nextcoud terminal?

ok, i fixed it.
I had to Telnet in and remove the app data files that had been built.
Now that they have gone, its working as expectedā€¦ so far.

#9

So following on from that Iā€™ve got everything work as expected apart from remote access. Iā€™ve followed SpaceInvaderOnes guide and I think I have everything setup correctly but I cannot connect via the internet. I get a few different errors.

ā€œinvalid responseā€ to ā€œtook too long to respondā€ and ā€œrefused to connectā€

Port Forwards are setup.

At this point Iā€™m lost and I really donā€™t know what to do.

I have search all over the net and either canā€™t find an answer or one that I understand.

I cant change the nameservers on my domain so the CloudFlare option is out. I donā€™t believe these ports are blocked by my ISP.

Perhaps you test von inside. Do you really test from inside?

#11

Hi Devnull,

Sorry I donā€™t understand?
Do you mean accessing the Nextcloud from inside my network - direct IP?

Just seen your PM, thank you.
