[Bug 1874542] [NEW] upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 changed folder permissions

[Jim Marsen]

Public bug reported:

I successfully upgraded this morning from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 using the procedure described at
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-upgrading-ubuntu-desktop#1-before-you-start

I was logged in as administrative user "jm"

It appears that the upgrade process incorrectly modified the owner of
the /var/www/Nextcloud and /opt/Nextcloud directories from "www-data" to
"User#99"

This caused errors when I tried to access the Nextcloud web app on my
server from a browser (Chrome).

I was able to resolve the issue by issuing the following commands:

cd /var/www
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data nextcloud
cd /opt
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data nextcloud

I was then able to access the Nextcloud application with from a browser.

Regards,
Jim Marsen
