There are other optional requirements that allow for additional functionalities.

a way of accessing your files on the server and changing their 'owner' and 'permissions' (ftp, ssh and cpanel are the most normal ways).

#INSTALL OWNCLOUD UBUNTU MAC OS#

Due to an issue with Mac OS Unicode support, installing ownCloud Server 5.0 on Mac OS is currently not supported. OwnCloud can be installed on either Linux or Windows servers.

You can do the same for your mobile device or tablet.At the time of writing this manual, version 5.0.13 is the stable version of ownCloud server. Once your install is complete you will be able to download ownclouds own filesync client or you can use a WebDAV client to navigate through your files. SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.keyĪt this point your should be able to visit your box’s url ( or or ) and finish installing owncloud with the native install wizard. SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt

Edit default-ssl in sites-available folder in your apache install ( vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl ) and comment out lines add the following lines 51 & 52 (use a #).

Note: Your going to be asked a couple of questions after you run this command, answer them as accurate as possible as this will be displayed on your cert when people try to access your site.

now lets generate a general cert with the following command ( openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt ).

Now your going to want to create a directory to store your SSL certs ( mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl ).

Now lets install our SSL and get it configured correctly: These credentials will be used later in the process.

Create a new database in mysql and call it owncloud, create a new user and password with specific access to the owncloud database.

Restart your apache service ( service apache2 restart ).

Your going to want to enable mod_rewrite ( a2enmod rewrite ).

( chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/data ) Note: Keep in mind that /var/www is just the default root folder of apache yours might be different, just make sure you make the appropriate changes so they point to your apache/web install. ( chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/config ) ( chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/apps )

For owncloud to configure & work correctly apache needs to be given ownership of certain folders so their is no problem for apache to read and write data inside your website.Run the following commands.

Inside your owncloud root directory create a new folder called “data” ( mkdir data ).

Upload extracted files to your apache root ( default is located at /var/www ), you can install vsftpd server( apt-get install vsftpd )or any other type of ftp server service.

Install more server dependances ( apt-get install php5-sqlite php5-mysql php5-pgsql smbclient curl libcurl3 php5-curl ).

Install server dependances ( apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-gd php-xml-parser php5-intl vim-nox ).

Bash in to get root access… ( sudo bash ).
