OwnCloud stopped working after moving http-root

Hey,

I’m using Apache 2 and Virtual Hosts… Today i added a new domain an changed the directory
of my main domain from /var/www/html/ to /var/www/domain.com/

My owncloud stopped working and i changed everything back but it didn’t solve the problem…
It would be very kind if anyone has an idea where the problem is.

There are too many links in the log files for a new user.

Thanks!

From the logs I see you started an upgrade which did not succeed, because the app files_videoplayer had not been disabled.

Try this in the ownCloud directory on your shell:
sudo -u www-data php occ app:disable files_videoplayer
sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

Also make sure, that the ownCloud directory is read- and writable for user www-data

Then it could be possible your ownCloud is up again.

In the apache.conf you show, I read /var/www/owncloud as document root. Didn’t you mention /var/www/domain.com ? If this is the case, you’ll have to fix the apache confs as well.

I’d recommend to read the docs at https://doc.owncloud.com/server/10.3/admin_manual/installation/manual_installation.html where basically all necessary setup steps are described.

Thank you very much!

I’ve again edited my vhosts file so they point on /var/www/domain.com/.
Then I edited the owncloud.conf (vhost file of the apache) so that the document root points to “/var/www/domain.com”.
After that I disabled the video player and started the update as you told me. It worked without an error and my ownCloud is up again!

Hey,

from what i have seen / read in the past you also need to do some database modifications if moving the http-root to another location if that also contained the datadirectory:

If this is not done then i think your ownCloud installation can get into trouble. :frowning_face:
