Owncloud install: Hitting Road blocks

[xboxboy]

Hi all. Clean install of Mageia 4 with /home on a separate partition.

So I install, via MCC, the owncloud server: Took a bit of messing around to get a static ip on my home network.

Then I point browser at http://MYipaddy/owncloud which brought up the admin page: I tried to set the data directory as /home/owncloud/data. That failed due to permissions, I found on the web this command

Code: Select all

chown -R apache:apache /home/owncloud/data

Which then let me get past the admin page. Now im stuck on post setup check with:

Code: Select all

Your web server is not yet properly setup to allow files synchronization because the WebDAV interface seems to be broken.
Please double check the installion guides

So, I've checked the log, and this seems to be the issue:

Code: Select all

{"app":"core","message":"isWebDAVWorking: NO - Reason: [CURL] Error while making request: Connection timed out after 10004 milliseconds (error code: 28) (sabre_DAV_Exception)", "level":2,"time....etc

So, was my change of permissions the right thing to do? How do I proceed regarding this WebDAV issue?

I am taking my first steps with owncloud and got the same "WebDAV interface seems to be broken"

I solved it by letting it own also the folder containing /data;
In my case it is a separate partition at /mnt/owncloud, so

Code: Select all

# chown -R apache:apache /mnt/owncloud

to set it to own both /data and its root.

(I also before that like you made /mnt/owncloud/data and # chown apache:apache /mnt/owncloud/data because before that the setup did go even less far. Maybe that would not be necessary if i it had owned owncloud initially)

Another tip: install apache-mod_ssl so you can access owncloud securely using https://

Here's how I fixed it:

I have since set up a chron task to update itself daily: It's tucked under my desk doing what it should now
