*If all of the above happened correctly, ownCloud was successfully installed!
<br>====Things You Need to Know====*'''Please NoteData Directory:'''*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.*'''Disk Storage:''' 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, ''"You use 3 GB of the available 43.4 GB"''. 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!).*'''Upgrades:''' 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.
