I got the following errors after moving the nextcloud/data
directory to an external SSD:
It was not possible to execute the cron job via CLI. The following technical errors have appeared:
• Your data directory is invalid Ensure there is a file called “.ocdata” in the root of the data directory.
• Your data directory is not writable Permissions can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the root directory. See Installation wizard — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation.
Here is a partial listing of the root of the data directory:
`-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 0 Jul 30 11:37 .ocdata`
Here is a listing of the nextcloud directory:
`drwxr-x--- 5 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 30 11:37 data/`
As you can see, there is a file called .ocdata
in the root of the data directory and the user/group for the data directory seems to be correct. However, I’m not sure if the permissions on the data directory are correct.
Also, the .ocdata
file is simply a placeholder i.e. it’s an empty file with no configuration text/data.
Do you have any guidance on how to address these errors?
