Troubleshooting data-directory
------------------------------
If you have a fresh install, consider reinstalling with your preferred directory location.
Unofficially moving the data directory can be done as follows:
1. Make sure no cron jobs are running
2. Stop apache
3. Move /data to the new location
4. Change the config.php entry
5. Edit the database: In oc_storages change the path on the local::/old-data-dir/ entry
6. Ensure permissions are still correct
7. Restart apache
.. warning
However this is not supported and you risk breaking your database.
For a safe moving of data directory, supported by Nextcloud, recommended actions are:
1. Make sure no cron jobs are running
2. Stop apache
3. Move /data to the new location
4. Create a symlink from the original location to the new location
5. Ensure permissions are still correct
6. Restart apache
.. warning
Note, you may need to configure your webserver to support symlinks.
