Error uploading file: Not enough free space... when using Webinterface

[motatuc]

Hello.

Just installed Nextcloud on my server with the setup-nextcloud.php-script.
Finished without any problems. Login working fine. But I cannot upload any files (doesn't matter what size) via the Webinterface.

Strange thing is I can delete any file via Webinterface. Something is really wrong here.
Space is 170G left, no quotas, no wrong permissions of folders (otherwise I would not be able to delete)

Steps to reproduce

1. Login Nextcloud
2. Open the file chooser
3. Press upload

Expected behaviour

The file gets uploaded.

Actual behaviour

Error uploading file "TranscriberAG-2.0.0-b1.tar.gz": Not enough free space, you are uploading 8.5 MB but only 0 B is left

Nothing in nextcloud.log

List of activated apps:

Standard activated apps. Firstrunwizard disabled.

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: no

Are you using encryption: no

PHP

Version: 5.5.38
Memory Limit: 512.0 MB
Max Execution Time: 3600
Upload max size: 513.0 MB

Database

Type: mysql
Version: 5.6.33
Size: 3.9 MB

Even more strange: Using the nextcloud app for android, I can upload files just fine. It must be a problem that is related to the webinterface. What could that problem be?

Hello.

Any idea about that problem? I already checked these similar owncloud issues but the solutions posted there did not help.

owncloud/core#15030
owncloud/core#18886
owncloud/core#19533
https://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3058&start=10#p7773

I tried to change file-upload.js

freeSpace = $('#free_space').val();
to
freeSpace = 1000000000;

Now I am able to upload files BUT I get this message right after uploading:

Error uploading file "TranscriberAG-2.0.0-b1.tar.gz": Not Found

Any idea how to proceed now and how to solve this problem (whatever it actually is)?

@icewind1991: I see you were set as cc. Do you have an idea?

[nickvergessen]

@motatuc did you solve this issue already?

[motatuc]

No, unfortunately I did not. I gave up because nobody seems to know a solution to my problem.

I also have this, dev tools shows:

 GET https://sub.domain.com:7070/nextcloud/index.php/apps/files/ajax/getstoragestats.php?dir=%2F 
404 ()

Has maybe todo with: subdomain / proxy / relative root path / docker

[motatuc]

@mnewmedia Did you find a solution for this problem?

[pablomaurer]

not yet, but I highly assume it has to do with using it behind a proxy, since it's working on localhost.
And I have currently no time to look further into this problem :(

[motatuc]

I see. @mnewmedia If you find a solution, it would be nice if you share it here. Thanks.

[motatuc]

Question to the developers here: Is there still no idea/solution to that problem? I would now have to use commercial nextcloud solutions but I'd rather like to run it on my own....

I have the same issue. In addition I cannot set quotas for my users. I followed Aptalca's Nginx-Letsencrypt to Reverse Proxy LSIO's Nextcloud - guide for my setup. Upload via WEBDAV is working fine.

I can upload files again locally if I

• disable Letsencrypt

• set root /config/www/; back to root /config/www/nextcloud/; in nextcloud/config/nginx/site-confs/defaults

• outcomment the overwritexxx parameter in the config.php

So I also assume an issue with the proxy

[jbyvosges]

Same for me : Cannot upload any files.

Hi,
Had the same problem.
In my case, I had a special php config with file size limit as 0 (write to disk). Weird that some folders would work and others not (shared ones failed). I had that to upload files bigger than 2GB in a 32-bit system, used to work. After I changed the limit to 2GB in the admin settings and saved, upload works again for shared folders.

So, I would suggest checking your file size limit and also checking your PHP configuration relating to uploads.

Related info:

• https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/9/admin_manual/configuration_files/big_file_upload_configuration.html
• https://help.nextcloud.com/t/maximum-upload-size/665
• https://help.nextcloud.com/t/max-upload-size-and-file-permissions/6034

Cheers!

The problem is solved for me : I cannot upload any file only when the quota is "illimited"

Had the same problem. In my case it was the upgrade to php7-fpm and the integration via
<Proxy fcgi://127.0.0.1:9002>

I've switched to the unix socket variant of php7.0-fpm
AddHandler php7-fcgi .php
Action php7-fcgi /php7-fcgi virtual
Alias /php7-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgi-cloud
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7-fcgi-cloud -idle-timeout 250 -socket /var/run/php/php7.0-fpm-cloud.sock -pass-header Authorization

and now everything works like a charm

Had the same problem. In my case it was the nginx conf for nextcloud.

Hi,
Have you left the quotas "unlimited" ? You have to put a quota.

[scattershot-code]

Yeah, I have this too. Using apache.
