How I installed Owncloud v6 0 3 on Ubuntu Server 14 04

How I installed Owncloud v6 0 3 on Ubuntu Server 14 04


Update; 1 Jul 14

Decided to try installing via the:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud


The version installed was 6.0.4.1 at the time.


This gives the ability if there are updates that they will be installed automatically through apt-get updates and no more manual updates.

I crossed out the items that were not necessary with the update install version verses the manual install.

So...

1. Installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 on the computer. 
2. Installed with OpenSSH and LAMP.  Root should be the default admin account created for mysql.  Remember the password.
3. Performed updates:

sudo apt-get update

4. Performed upgrades:

sudo apt-get upgrade

5. Perform additional required installs (In Accordance With [IAW] Owncloud v6 Manual Installation):

sudo apt-get install php5-gd php5-json php5-mysql php5-curl php5-intl php5-mcrypt php5-imagick

6. Downloaded owncloud-6.0.3.tar.bz2:

sudo wget http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-6.0.3.tar.bz2



sudo sh -c "echo deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/xUbuntu_14.04/ / >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list"

sudo apt-get update

wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key

sudo apt-key add - < Release.key

sudo apt-get install owncloud

7. Extracted the contents:

sudo tar xjf owncloud-6.0.3.tar.bz2

8. Moved the owncloud directory to the proper location /var/www/html/owncloud:

sudo mv owncloud /var/www/html/

9. Changed permission on the owncloud directory recursively:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/owncloud

10. Enabled ssl within Apache2"

sudo a2enmod ssl 
sudo a2ensite default-ssl 
sudo service apache2 restart
 
11. Modified the default-ssl file for Apache2:


sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

 

Add ServerName;

 



 Add owncloud;



<Directory /var/www/html/owncloud>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 AllowOverride All
 Require all granted
</Directory>

 


12. Enable mod_rewrite
 

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service apache2 restart

13. Might get error "Could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name"

Add FQDN to /etc/hosts

sudo nano /etc/hosts 





sudo service apache2 restart

14. Log into your owncloud via http
-You will get a warning that your data directory is exposed.  Well change that later.
-Create an admin account name with password.
-Leave the data folder alone.
-Hopefully you remembered the mysql root password.
-Call you database "owncloud_db".
-The database will be located on the "localhost".





15. Close the client download window.
-Select admin (upper right corner) --> users
 


16. Create your first user.
-Provide that user with enough storage space.
-Select admin again and logout.




17. Lets fix the data folder.  You can ultimately determine were you want your data folder.  I choose the root.

sudo mv /var/www/html/owncloud/data /

18. Now we also have to tell owncloud where it went:


You will need to edit the config.php file and add the fqdn:

sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php

Change; datadirectory => /data,
Add your FQDN; 1=> owncloud.no-ip.info

 


19. You should be able to access https now without complaint.  Running owncloud through http is not healthy.  It should be running under https.  If you check the ssl cert (view certificates) the default cert used should be from the ubuntu installation and have the computer name in the "issued to" "issued by".




20. OPTIONAL if you dont like the default sizes to upload make these changes:

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Change;
post_max_size = 4G
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0
upload_max_filesize = 4G
date.timezone = "America/New_York"

21. You should be good to go.

UPDATE; 16 Jun 14


1. If you get the following error: isWebDAVWorking: NO - Reason: [CURL] Error while making request: SSL: certificate subject name XXXXX does not match target host name YYYYY

sudo nano /var/www/html/owncloud/3rdparty/Sabre/DAV/client.php

Find; <ctrl w>
curlsettings

Add below;

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,

  

sudo service apache2 restart

2. I also added my own self created certs instead of using the default.

Now to get https ssl working with OwnCloud I created self-signed certs.  Remember the self signed password as it will ask you again.

sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/ssl/server.key 4096

sudo openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/server.key -out /etc/ssl/server.csr

sudo openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in /etc/ssl/server.csr -signkey /etc/ssl/server.key -out /etc/ssl/server.crt

sudo openssl rsa -in /etc/ssl/server.key -out /etc/ssl/server.key.insecure

sudo mv /etc/ssl/server.key /etc/ssl/server.key.secure
