This article overs the manual installation for ownCloud on the Fedora 14 (32 bit) version of Amahi. The following setup information helped as part of the process to create the Amahi ownCloud “one-click” installation package.
Prerequisites
- Fairly "typical" LAMP technology stack, fortunately Amahi provides "most" of the technology components.
- PHP V5.3 or greater.
- Database, MySQL or SQLite. Amahi uses MySQL so why change?
- Favorite text editor.
- Favorite SQL administration (phpMyAdmin) tool, good MySQL database command-line skills, or the Amahi "hda-create-*db-and-user" command line utility.
- Access to owncloud V4.0.7 (tar.bz2 only) or greater.
Installation
PHP
ownCloud requires PHP V5.3 or greater to be installed on the server. The following additional PHP dependencies need to be installed.
Additional Libraries
The following libraries also need to be installed:
Create ownCloud Database and User ID
ownCloud requires it's own database and a database user ID in order to store cloud information. We will use the command line and an Amahi HDA (hda-create-db-and-user) application to create the database, user ID, and password. This creates a database called dbname and a corresponding user name for it matching (the password is also the DB and user ID).
bash code hda-create-db-and-user owncloud
Please make sure to record the database name, user ID, and password as they will be required later to complete the final installation steps for ownCloud.
more coming soon...
Upgrading ownCloud to New Releases
To upgrade to the next version of ownCloud instance, replace the files (copy) with the new set from the download. Leave the "config/" and "data/" directoies intact to preserve your data. The upgrade will happen automatically when you first login.
Please remember to check the “apache:users” ownership on the copied files and directories. If they are not set, use the “chown” command (recursively).
