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

[Jim Marsen]

To clarify:  the upgrader modified the owner of the Nextcloud folders
and files not the file/directory permissions.  It might have altered
others that I haven't noticed as well.

Title:
  upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 changed folder permissions

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
