I am hosting this nextcloud snap more than a year, successfully. No error or bugs. Great!
But yesterday, out of the blue I couldn’t sync with my nextcloud anymore. I got this error in my browser:
"Dein Datenverzeichnis ist ungültig Stelle sicher, dass eine Datei “.ocdata” im Wurzelverzeichnis des data-Verzeichnisses existiert. Your data directory is not writable Berechtigungen können zumeist korrigiert werden indem dem Web-Server Schreibzugriff auf das Wurzel-Verzeichnis eingeräumt wird. Siehe auch https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/go.php?to=admin-dir_permissions 12. "
I checked if the “ocdata” was there. It was. I checked its permissions. All were right. After that I changed the user:group of the data directory (chown without -R) to “root:root”, because before that it was “system_user:system_user”. Directly after this I saw the login page. After trying sync via the client, the login page was gone und I now have this error:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.
More details can be found in the server log."
After that I tried 770 permissions on the whole data folder.
Used different cominations of root and the system user with chown on the whole data folder.
No changes.
In my logs I can’t find a proper hint. I don’t know where on my system I have to search for the solution.
