Very complete!!

many thanks! I used it on rasbian 4.1 and it runs quite well!

Any idea of how this would be modified to work with a Perfect Server configuration using ISPConfig 3.0/Ubuntu/Apache/Mariadb ? This only seems to work for a single domain and user.

Create a website, upload the owncloud source to the web directory of that site and then open the owncloud installer in your web browser.

This is incorrect: /etc/sites-available/owncloud.conf

 

By: Neil Golden

You're right. In sections 8 and 9, the occurrences of /etc/sites-available should read /etc/apache2/sites-available. This will be fixed shortly, thank you!

If you get "The requested URL /var/www/owncloud/index.php was not found on this server."

comment out the rule "RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]" in /var/www/owncloud/.htaccess to "#RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]"

Thank you for this tutorial ...

After logging in I get the following error: "This operation is not allowed" When transferring files, i get the following error: "You do not have permission to upload files or create here"

I have run the script to change the permissions . Idea? Thank you very much

When I get to step 15 it tries to download the php file instead of opening it. Any suggestions? I have tried severl web browsers witht the same results.

This version is the only one that I can install without any errors :-)

The only thing what I can't fix is to replace the snakeoil cert. for a real cert.

Does somebody know to replace this.

Excellent article but I had 2 problems:

1. The tar command didn't work for me until I modified it to the following:

# tar xjvf owncloud-9.0.0.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/owncloud/

2.after installation doing the following threw an error:

http://localhost/owncloud

error: /var/www/owncloud/index.php  was not found.

however, when i typed in http://localhost/owncloud/index.php, it worked fine.

the following fixed it: changing the DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf  from /var/www/html   to /var/wwwthought i'd share this here for others' benefit

By: Henry Tieding

Tried installation, but can never find file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf.

It would seem that there is still a problem with sections 8 and 9

I stop at step 15, when I navigate to http://myhostname/owncloud (as "myhostname" I use the ServerName in owncloud.conf) I get error "HTTP 404 page not found". I tried also with IP address of my OMV server in LAN in place of "myhostname" and I get same error. When I issue "service apache2 status" it says "(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80". I already use port 80 to access OMV GUI. Any hint?

Hey,

thanks for your great tutorial! After several tries this was the only one, where the ownCloud would work with ssl. I would like to upgrade to oC 10.0. Do you see an easy way to perform this respectively not doing it manually as apt won't work.

Thanks and have a nice week.

By: Mattia

Hi, great tutorial, very much appreciated!

Only one problem: in step 15, when I try to access IP/owncloud, I get error 404 page not found. In the previous steps I had no problem whatsoever, but I can't access to the configuration page of owncloud... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thank you, your guide is very useful. Default documentation is confusing.
