Hi,  
I installed latest nextcloud on a ArchLinux with mariadb and I got this error:

 ![nextcloud](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/d/5dc8334c549a49bd914ebf25b3729576a6967205.jpeg)

the server was unable to complete your request

The nextcloud.log looks

[https://termbin.com/f9ar](https://termbin.com/f9ar)

with jq

[https://termbin.com/8rtp](https://termbin.com/8rtp)

Nginx access log looks like this. No error log

What is wrong?

Can’t only access localhost nextcloud? Or wrong php-fpm version ? Or wrong mariadb?

Make sure that the given database user is allowed to manipulate the Nextcloud database tables.

Ok. Thanks for answering. I‘m not very common with sql. So I did All privileges but seems not to work! What I have to do exactly? I have a user nexcloud and a table nexcloud. So how I can give nextcloud „superuser“ rights and also admin? Thanks for reply.

I did

> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON _._ to ‘nextcloud’@‘localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

```HOW
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for nextcloud@localhost |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO `nextcloud`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*HASH' WITH GRANT OPTION |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `nextcloud`.* TO `nextcloud`@`localhost` |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

```

but the user admin can’t find it in the the table nextcloud?!

</div>

I fixed with

```auto
chown -R http:http /etc/webapps/nextcloud/config
chmod -R 750 /etc/webapps/nextcloud/config

```

Now I have the problem that the apps are not writeable ?!

![nextcloud2](https://help.nextcloud.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/d/4d65f665d3c3148011cc6e3bccc5af0c0fc744e8.jpeg)

I did

```auto
chmod -R 0770 /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/apps 

```

but it didn’t fix it

php-fpm have write access to the folder.

How to fix it?

You have to make sure that the “http” user has write accesss to that directory. Additionally you should check yor Nextcloud configuration, especially the setting of the apps\_paths parameter.
