Setting up Owncloud
I decided to try and set up owncloud on an old laptop I have sitting around and tried to follow the instructions I found in this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...unning-919075/
I followed the instructions but I think I'm missing something important related to apache that is preventing me from getting it to work. When I navigate to localhost/owncloud it gives me a 403 forbidden error. Is there something that I need to do to set up apache before trying to work with the owncloud setup? |
I'm not sure what to say. I tried installing it using these directions as well as following Alien Bob's suggestions in your previous post. I get "INTERNAL SERVER ERROR" messages when I try to go to localhost/owncloud. If I replace the .htaccess file that comes with owncloud with my own that I use in another directory I'm able to get as far as creating the admin account, but then it goes back to the internal server error message. Removing the .htaccess file completely from /var/www/htdocs/owncloud then allows me to login, but I get a constant blinking/flashing of the page that is useless. In /var/log/httpd/error_log I then have these messages:
Code:
[Mon Jun 04 22:05:54.979620 2012] [mpm_event:notice] [pid 2644:tid 3070154496] AH00494: SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart |
This just in...

I hope that helps but YMMV ;) Kindest regards, . |
I've managed to get as far as creating the admin account with the .htaccess files in place. That was my screw up from previously setting up .htaccess. I had the AllowOveride for the document root set too restrictive, and as was mentioned in the referenced thread, deleting my php.ini file and reinstalling the php package fixed the dynamic library errors I was getting. Now when I setup the the admin account though I get an access forbidden error. I'm able to enter http://localhost/owncloud/index.php manually and I get to a malformed screen. I can't access any of the apps. I get this in my error_log:
Code:
Cannot serve directory /srv/httpd/htdocs/owncloud/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive, referer: http://localhost:8000/owncloud/index.php |
Got it. Had to change
Code:
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory Code:
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory Enable PHP change my AllowOverride for .htaccess files that I had set previously Enter the changes listed by Alien Bob. Reinstall php after removing php.ini Unpack the tarball to the server tree chown the directory to apache:apache It really wasn't complicated, I just had no clue what I was doing! lol Hope that helps. |
I just want to say thanks. I had no clue about owncloud until I read your post. With WebDAV and a free app I'm now able to upload things directly to and from my Iphone across the web. That has been such a PITA for YEARS!

@damgar Thank you so much:) Fixed all my problems:)
I'm marking this thread as solved. |
Awesome. Glad to hear it. It's a really cool little program once it's running!
