Finally I found that logs (find it at the end) I don’t understand how can’t it write in it as rights are ok, and there is enough space.
Finalement j’ai trouvé ces logs . Je ne comprends cependant pas pourquoi il n’arrive pas a écrire dedans vu que les droits semble ok et qu’il y a suffisament de place.

Thank you!
Merci d’avance

When you say the rights are ok, can you execute: sudo -u nextcloud touch /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data/test ?

I can’t do -u nextcloud as the installation fail the installation script remove the user.

Got a similar problem, it turns out I had to manually install php7.0-zip (installer seems to check for php-zip, which doesn’t work)

As a sidenote, I noticed the /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud directory is not removed when the installation first fails, with owner/group set to 996 (in my case).
If another user is created after the first failed nextcloud install, the next attempts might fail: nextcloud user would get a different UID, hence not being able to write to its directory anymore.

(EDIT: this occurred on a dedicated server running Debian Stretch)

didn’t work for me :confused:
I reinstall all my yunohost and the error is different this time.

Could you try changing the permissions of the data directory, as states line 11 of your log ?
