Temporary PHP path was not properly set to a directo... | nextcloud/nextcloudpi

Nobody has claimed this yet.

I see in the Security & Setup warnings of Nextcloud, running on nextcloudpi the following error:

Error while checking the temporary PHP path - it was not properly set to a directory. Returned value: /var/www/nextcloud/data/tmp

Database logs


tail: cannot open '/var/log/mysql/*.log' for reading: No such file or directory

Start by reproducing the Security & Setup warning using the reported tempdirectory value /media/nextcloudpi_data/ncdata/data/tmp and the NextcloudPi diagnostics. Determine why the value is reported as not being a directory; done when a valid configured temporary PHP path no longer triggers the warning.
