Things You Need to Know
- ownCloud maintains its own account security system and does not utilize the Amahi host server's user account system.
- ownCloud maintains its own data storage directory area and is not the same as the shared directories (via Samba) created from the Amahi dashboard.
- There is no "automatic upgrade" facility for new versions of ownCloud. An administration "update" feature is available, but will only work on a LAMP server using ownCloud install defaults. Once the "one click install" Amahi package has been updated to a new version of ownCloud the package will have to be reinstalled. When reinstalling the ownCloud package make sure all data is backed up.
Amahi ownCloud Installation
- The "ownCloud Community" default installation on a typical LAMP server places the data directory with the application binaries. The Amahi installation places the data directory at "/var/hda/files/owncloud/data/".
- The Amahi installation package is a "one-click install" and takes care of; downloading and installing required software dependencies, setting up the ownCloud database, ownCloud "administration" user.
- Initial login credentials for the administration user:
User name: admin Password: admin
- Note: Remember to change the administration user password after installation
- Accessing ownCloud from a...
Server Console: http://owncloud Workstation: http://owncloud.server_name
