Deployed owncloud 10 on ubuntu 18
Changed data file to a different location
I get an “you don’t have permission to create or upload files here”
The New data file location has 777 www-data:www-data permission to main directory and all subdirectories and files. Yes I know 777 is too much but I tried all I could think before posting
Any suggestion, Im completely out of ideas after 6 hours of this…
it should be www-data:www-data recursive
Make sure the config.php has the location you want for the data folder. You might be changing the permissions on a folder that isn’t being used, and the data is being placed in another location
Yes, sorry, typo when writting here it is www-data:www-data in the server
It is, it goes to the new location
Hi,
please read the documentation
https://doc.owncloud.com/server/10.0/admin_manual/installation/system_requirements.html
Sorted.
The script did not work, it threw quite some errors.
In the end what I did was:
Uninstall Owncloud
Delete all owncloud files
Delete Database
Create Database and user
Reinstall Owncloud
Move Data directory to desired location
assign www-data:www-data to Data directory in new location
Run installation wizard
Evoilá
Fresh install is always the cleanest solution 
great that it worked for you
