Each of us has been touched by the term “Cloud Computing” in some way. Either through experience using “public cloud services”, media articles, ravings from I.T. boffins, people naming dropping the latest techie terms ... most sources claiming it's the “greatest thing since sliced bread”.
*If all of the above happened correctly, ownCloud was successfully installed!
====Things You Need to Know====
*{| border="0"|-| border="0" | '''Data Directory:''' |-| border="0" | The "ownCloud Community" default installation on a typical LAMP server places the data directory with the ownCloud application binaries. The Amahi installation places the data directory at "/var/hda/files/owncloud/data/". Additionally, the ownCloud data directory area is '''not''' the same as the shared directories (via Samba) created from the Amahi dashboard.*|-| border="0" | '''Disk Storage:''' |-| border="0" | At some point after the installation when logged in to ownCloud via the "admin" or a “user” ID, navigate to Settings => Personal area there will be "similar" message displayed at the top of the page. This will either puzzle or confuse a user, .<div style="text-align: center; border:">'''''"You use 3 GB of the available 43.4 GB"''. '''</div>But wait a minute. This computer for this has nearly 1 Terabyte of disk storage! What is going on here? ownCloud is installed in the /var directory tree. In some cases a default install of the host O/S (i.e. Fedora) was performed possibly with out any advanced disk partition planning. For example, if a “desktop default” partitioning scheme was followed, the /home directory would be large, and the /var directory smaller and most likely was installed in the / (root) disk partition with other "system directories". ownCloud reports on the storage statistics of the partition the "data directory" it exists, usually the /var directory tree. To solve the problem? Put /var in to it's own disk partition, put the ownCloud data directory in a separate disk partition, or allocate more space to the / (root) disk partition. Or the real painful part? Re-install the host O/S with a partition plan (I know, OUCH!).*|-| border="0" | '''Upgrades:''' |-| border="0" | 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.*|-| border="0" | '''User Accounts:''' |-| border="0" | ownCloud maintains its own user account system and does not utilize the Amahi host server's user account system.|} ===Change ownCloud "admin" Password===Shortly after ownCloud has been installed the "admin" user password should be changed. * Login using the "admin" user ID and navigate to Settings => Personal. There is a section for changing the user password.:[[File:Oc_personal_setting_password.png‎]]*Enter the install provided password in the "Current password" field.*Checking off the "show" selection will allow the new password to be visible during entry in to the "New password" field.*Enter the new password in to the "New password" field and click the "Change password" button.*Remember to try logging in to the admin account with the new password to test the change.
