Problem installing Owncloud on B3

[DanielM]

odd, I always copy files straight into the owncloud folder and its always picked up. I'll test this again

Yes, please do. It would be handy being able to do that. What version of OC are you running? I'm on 6.0.0a, I wonder if this could be something that changed between 5 and 6?

I think I was still on 5. because OC had the terrific design decision to mix php functional code with gui templates its actually a lot of work to upgrade and not lose the customized interface.

I'll look into it

Hi

What I did was to add the app external storage support, and then under admin settings I was able to add an external storage. I added a folder named, music, with the external storage, local, and the configuration, /home/storage/music. I enabled it for all users. Under files I have the following folders documents, music, photos and shared. In the music folder I have access to the music folders under /home/storage/music.

I have also installed the app music but there are some problems with playing shared files. There is already an issue about this topic on github: https://github.com/owncloud/music/issues/138. The only thing that happens when I click the music app is that application view is white with the word loading and I can still see the navigation bar and search/settings.

I also added /home/storage/pictures to the photos folder. I can access my pictures by clicking on the photos folder but I can´t access them through the gallery app. The only thing that happens is that the application view is white and I can still see the navigation bar and search/settings.

That both the music and gallery are not responding for a long time, is that because there some kind of scanning going on in the background that takes alot of power or is it something else?

Hi again

An update
I have tried to rescan the file system. Through ssh I went to /home/web/owncloud and there I wrote occ files:scan --all but that didn´t work so I tried php console.php files:scan --all and that started a scanning process.

When I now click on the music app it loads and I can see my music folders. But the problem with nothing happens when I click on the gallery app still reamains.

Hi

I have a security message under admin settings.

Your data directory and your files are probably accessible from the internet. The .htaccess file that ownCloud provides is not working. We strongly suggest that you configure your webserver in a way that the data directory is no longer accessible or you move the data directory outside the webserver document root.

What do I need todo, do I need to access the file .htaccess or another file and change something or do I have to move the data folder?

Both may work equally well, but if you move the data folder you have (in my experience) the most robust solution, as you do not rely on complex permission rules and it is obvious how your security model works without having to read config files.

But that may be just me

Hi

I have owncloud up and running for a couple of days and I think everything is ok. I have enabled external storage app and through the choice Local I have added music and pictures folder on the B3, but I have a warning message which is "Warning: Curl-support is not activated or not installed. Add of owncloud / Webdav or GoogleDrive is not possible. Please contact your administrator to install it."

I am trying to get calendar och contacts from a iphone and a android phone to sync with owncloud through webdav. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn´t. Can the problem be with the Curl support?

Best Regards

Do you have curl installed? You can check that by running something like "dpkg -l|grep curl". If you haven't, install it using "apt-get install curl". I doubt curl is related to problems with webdav sync though.

Hi
I tried "dpkg -l|grep curl" and it gave the following message.

Code: Select all

So I guess I have curl installed.

Yep. Strange. Obviously OwnCloud doesn't think you have. Really no idea what could cause that and obviously my google-fu is weak today

Hi

Here comes a update.

Regarding my problem with curl support, I have tried two solutions. The first one was to
Open the php.ini file using
nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and then to add the following line, under extensions (which is towards the bottom of the file):
extension=php_curl.so

I also needed to create a symbol link:
ln –s /etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/curl.ini

and last a server restart:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

but that gave me a new error message, I can´t remember what, so I corrected all the changes and tried
cp /etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/curl.ini

and that work. The message "Warning: Curl-support is not activated or not installed. Add of owncloud / Webdav or GoogleDrive is not possible. Please contact your administrator to install it." is gone and there is no new error message. Hopefully that solved the problem.

Best regards
Jon

Thanks for sharing!

Obviously my B3 already had the php curl stuff set up properly from the start, no idea why yours didn't...

Gosh!
You are my hero! Again, I was faced with an almost unresolvable issue - while setting up the roundcube mail frontend in order to sync all my events with a backend calendar on B3 - and you gave me the working solution!

Thank you very much!


Btw. I only copied the curl.ini file...
