NotPermittedException after moving data folder to a new device

Nextcloud version (eg, 12.0.2): 18.0.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 17.04): Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.38 (Raspbian)
PHP version (eg, 7.1): PHP 7.3.14-1~deb10u1 (cli)

The issue you are facing:
I moved my data folder to a new SSD and edited the config.php. I can access for example my news via Android app, but I can’t access the web interface: internal server error.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Try to open the web nextcloud interface via browser.

I really fall into despair. Nextcloud is a nice idea, but the maintenance is bigger then the benefit. And now I’m stucked and there is no support :disappointed_relieved:

Hi GambaJo,

there is a HowTo on this forum. Have a look at it and try the steps mentioned in that HowTo.

EDIT: I had another look at your posted config.php and noticed that there a multiple duplicate parameters, is that wanted? If not, It would be best to cleanup the config.php a little and remove duplicate parameters.

Yes, I found this thread already and tried everything, even permissions to 777, but this sounds wrong to me.
But all this didn’t worked.

I found the solution:
First I formated the partition where the data was. Then I recreated the files from my backup.
Then an error with the JSCombiner came up, and this was the solution:

  • delete js folder: rm -r appdata_*/js
  • recreate occ files:scan-app-data
  • repair: occ maintenance:repair
