Resolved User Directory Permission

[DwieDave]

Hello!
I have a problem with using another directory with a web user:
I installed Nextcloud in the subdomain cloud.example.com (which means the http user is example.com in my case)
And I want to set the data dir to /data/nextcloud which is not in the vhosts file permission range.
(not in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/cloud.example.com) How can I achieve read and write access to that directory?

I chown'ed it to "example.com : psacln" (spaces not used) but it didn't work.

Do you have an idea for that ? The example.com user is created from Plesk by adding that domain.

Best Regards
Dave

You can try to mount with --bind /data/nextcloud to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/cloud.example.com/data/nextcloud for example. More detail you can find here - http://necrux.com/bind-mounts/

I ended up adding /data/nextcloud to the openbasedir of that domain in php settings!
But binding worked aswell!
Thank you!
