Wrong property for owner_id, expected a valid admin user ID, got 0

[whatever-12]

Hello there,

I installed (with the .zip file) more or less successfully lychee 7.2 on my server (Debian Trixie, php-fm 8.4).
I can see albums and pictures (added via php artisan lychee:sync), great.

But I can't add or delete photos/album via the UI. I can't even delete photos/albums via php artisan. The permissions on directories and files are ok.

php artisan lychee:diagnostics returns :

"Wrong property for owner_id, expected a valid admin user ID, got 0."

Any idea ?

Did you sync before or after creating your admin user?

I can't even delete photos/albums via php artisan.
Well yes and no. You can use the following options when doing sync in order to do a clean-up:

      --delete_missing_photos[=DELETE_MISSING_PHOTOS]  Delete photos in the album that are not present in the synced directory [default: "0"]
      --delete_missing_albums[=DELETE_MISSING_ALBUMS]  Delete albums in the parent album that are not present in the synced directory [default: "0"]

The idea of deleting photos/albums directly via CLI was never suggested before. :)

Any chance you can have a look inside your db and see if there are some bogus values on owner_id column of photos and base_albums table ?

The fact that you cannot upload/delete when you are logged in is more worry some. You are logged as admin right ?
Can you check if requests such as DELETE/PUT/PATCH are blocked in your configuration ?

Thank you ildyria.

Yes --delete_missing_photos is what I tried (deleting photos in the import directory first) but no joy. I will look into the database.
I am logged as admin, yes, but I don't know where to look if DELETE/PUT/PATCH may be blocked. .env file maybe ?

Writing this, it makes me realize that I use the .env file from the previous Lychee version and not the .env file of 7.2... I should have change that before opening a ticket I guess (sorry).

DELETE/PUT/PATCH should be at your apache/nginx level.
If you can, can you open the network tab of your webbrowser and check what errors you get when you try to create/delete albums/photos ?
