HOWTO create your own cloud server in 10 minutes

[kInOzAwA]

Could you do this same tutorial but convert it for Ubuntu, or do I just replace yum with apt-get or something? Could someone please tell me, this way I can use Ubuntu for my cloud server, it doesn't matter if it can't be done with Ubuntu, however I would really prefer it Thanks for any one who can help me.

For ubuntu, follow this step.

2) Install Own Cloud dependencies via terminal / shell:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php-pear php-xml-parser php5-sqlite php5-json sqlite php5-mysql mp3info curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl zip php5-gd

2) Download the latest own cloud via here or by terminal / shell using "wget http://owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-3.0.2.tar.bz2"

3) You need to decompress the file using tar and extract to its own folder in terminal / shell.

cd
tar -xvf owncloud*.tar.bz2
sudo mv owncloud /var/www/owncloud

4) Setup the permissions

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

5) Restart Apache on terminal / shell

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

6) Open a browser and enter http://localhost/owncloud - if you get an error similar to this: "No database drivers (sqlite or mysql) installed.", restart your computer and the error should be gone.

7) Ok, now back to: http://localhost/owncloud - here you'll be prompted to enter a new admin username and password and you're done!

8) If you get an error similar to the following:

"Could not open /var/www/.well-known/host-meta for writing, please check permissions!"

after creating your username and password, run the following commands in terminal / shell :

sudo mkdir /var/www/.well-known
sudo touch /var/www/.well-known/host-meta
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/.well-known/

you're welcome.

BTW if anyone need to use mysql database to have bigger addon/options to add more users instead of sqlite (single user) just add this line after no 5 via terminal /shell :

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE owncloud;
GRANT ALL ON owncloud.* TO 'owncloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-preferable-pass';
GRANT ALL ON owncloud.* TO 'owncloud'@'localhost.localdomain' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-preferable-pass';
type 'quit' or 'exit' to end mysql then continue to line 6).

Very nice.. as to the post mentioning technological mobility... oh for sure seed heaven for lower GB's and maybe something even better if I can set up a little pool at the office for bypassing all that mess of secure server nonsense. Hmmmm lol.

Thanks for the advanced configuration tips!The Linux version I know best is Ubuntu Server, as this is what I used on all my own virtual servers until now. The second one is CentOS, which is the default at my day job – but there I don’t do system administration. So I first tried to install OpenVZ on Ubuntu server, and then on CentOS – installing a new OS image in my dedicated server only takes a few minutes, so making different tries was very easy.

This is something new to me. I'm use to share my files with dropbox with only 2gb I'd ask the people in the ubuntu forum if they have the webtatic in their repo so maybe i could also install this.
