[Freedombox-discuss] change own cloud data folder in freedom box



I have done a fresh install of freedom box and own cloud through the web
interface.  I have a drive with data from a previous server.  Can I mount
that drive to the data folder that own cloud points to so I do not have to
change anything in own cloudconfiguration?

I have read about the bug in freedom box/own cloud install that does not
let you configure the data folder at install were you having to delete the
config.php file,  Then disabling own cloud, applying the change, then
reenable to change configure the datafolder and the database login but I
not know where to find the database login details.

My goal is to change the data folder to a different drive.  I have tried to
change the datadirectory value in config.php but when I try to go the own
cloud link it asks me to recreate the admin username and password, enter is
the data folder I would like to use, the name of the database, and database
login details but I do not know where to find the username and password for
the database.  Can I mount that drive to the data folder that own cloud
points to so I do not have to change anything in own cloud configuration?

The external partition is mounted at /var/lib/owncloud/data.  I had to
make sure
www-data was the owner and group for all the directories and files.  I also
copied hidden files (.htaccess and .ocdata) to the root level of the
external partition.  Lastly, the partition was added to /etc/fstab, as
follows:

UUID=####       /var/lib/owncloud/data       ext4
auto,rw,suid,dev,exec,nouser,async      0       0

I have also installed these two packages

 sudo apt-get install php-dropbox php-google-api-php-client

Tried a rescan and the files that are on the partition do not show up in
owncloud web.

I rescanned using the following commands

sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all -vv

After doing all this I still cannot see all the files I have on the
partition through the web interface or the webdav.  How can I see the files
in the webdav and web interface?
