Hello Nextclouders!
I’m really excited about Nextcloud and for the last few days I’ve been trying to do a manual install of nextcloud 15 (though this same issue comes up when I try different versions) on my home server computer (mint box running Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela).
I intend to use the Talk application the most, and I also plan on doing a lot cloud collaboration with my clients. I wanted to do a manual install (instead of a snap install) because it seems like the best way to go for both performance purposes and installing additional apps and their dependencies.
I have gotten fairly far in the installation process and now I am stuck.
When I go to http://localhost/nextcloud
I see this message:
“Internal Server Error
The server was unable to complete your request.
If this happens again, please send the technical details below to the server administrator.
More details can be found in the server log.”
I did some searching and saw that people were finding a log in /var/www/nextcloud/data/ but this directory does not exist on my system which was my first problem.
After some digging I found /var/log/apache2/error.log
and it seems to indicate that it lacks permissions to make nextcloud/data/files
Any help with how I can proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s What I’m Running:
Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Release: 17.2 Codename: rafaela
