Hi Guys
Really have to tip my hat to the whole community and the devs. I really have awesome respect for the product.
Apologies in advance for not first completing the necessary detail first.
I had ownCloud 8.1.9* running on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine with PHP 5.5.* , Apache and MySQL. The world was awesome! Don't touch it if it's not broken...
Well it was time to update / upgrade, so figured I'd start with Ubuntu itself ... FBomb! Well, clearly I did backup before hand so reinstalled and upgraded OC first manually as the files are no longer available and then with the updater. But between version 8.2.11 and 9, I lost my shares.
I did a rescan which took about 8 hours (530GB) which didn't resolve the issue. I only have local storage. I checked in my oc_share table and there were some weird shares which I wasn't expecting (perhaps circlular referencing?), so I removed those rows. Everything in the oc_share table is basically a one to many relationship. One user sharing a bunch of folders with everyone else.
I haven't connected any of the clients yet because I'm hoping to resolve the missing shares first. From the web interface, all the folders and files are there for the main user. However, there's no "Share" info attached to the folder or files with in. From the various users profiles, there no shares there either. I've checked the "Shared with you","Shared with others" and "Shared by link" - all empty.
I'm now running on Ubuntu 16.04 with PHP7 and OC 10.0.07. Everything is working the way I'd expect except the shares still aren't available. I continued upgrading hope the issue would be resolved in later versions.
Something I did notice after creating a new share is the item_target in the oc_share table is now NULL where the previous had a "/ + 6 digits" eg "/820663" entry.
I'm not using external shares.
My oc_share_external table is empty.
The file_targets are correct.
My /var/www/owncloud/data folder is in the correct place and www-data permissions.
'datadirectory' => '/var/www/owncloud/data', in config.php is correct.
I thought perhaps it may be the index.php mod_rewrite, but nothing changed.
I read through a bunch of threads but none seem to resolve my challenge. This definitely occurred during the upgrade between 8 and 9.
Please let me know what further info I can provide.
Thanks in advance.
