I have just installed ownCloud. I chose the data directory (default: /var/www/cloud/data/) to be on a network share on my windows server.

This share is located at

/home/christophe/SeagateDrive/OwncloudData/

I mounted this share by adding this line to fstab:

//192.168.1.130/Seagate /home/christophe/SeagateDrive cifs user=administrator,password=pwd 0 0

But now I get an error from ownCloud saying that the user does not have write permissions to this directory so I did the following:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/christophe/SeagateDrive/OwncloudData

But this doesn't fix the problem. Everytime I navigate to the directory and do

ls -ld

the only user showing up is root.

Is there a way to fix this?

I have solved this by now.

The solution was to edit the fstab file.

In there I had to give the extra parameters:

gid=www-data

file_mode=0770

dir_mode=0770

This gave the group www-data write permissions.
