PHP

No php installed by default. The current suggested version for debian seems 7.0 and owncloud claims to be ready:

debian@med0:~$ apt-cache searh php7
...
php7.0 - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage)
...

According to the manual, a lot of additional modules are required/suggested. The full list is on page 30, with merlin falling into 16.04 LTS category and med1 14.04, using php7 and php5 respectively.

#At merlin running debian stretch
#php7.0 core
apt-get install php7.0 
#extensions
apt-get install php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-xml \
   php7.0-mbstring php7.0-zip php7.0-pgsql \
   php7.0-curl php7.0-intl php7.0-mcrypt php-imagick 

#At med1 running debian jessie
#php5 core
apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
#check for extension X
php -m | grep -i X
#install missing extensions
apt-get install php5-gd php5-curl php5-pgsql \
   php5-ssh2 php5-imap php5-ldap
   php5-curl php5-intl php5-mcrypt php5-imagick \
   php5-gmp

Sources

Get the sources from owncloud. Unpack and copy to /var/www.

Apache setup

Create an apache configuration file owncloud.conf. Add modules:

root@med1:~# a2enmod rewrite headers env dir mime
Enabling module rewrite.
Enabling module headers.
Module env already enabled
Module dir already enabled
Module mime already enabled
root@med1:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Install owncloud

Use script owncloud.sh to install. For some strange reason, the last line doesn't get picked up, so I forced data directory by hand by editing /var/www/owndata/config/config.php setting datadirectory to /data0/owncloud and making it by hand:

$>mkdir /data0/owncloud
$>touch /data0/owncloud/.ocdata
$>chown -R www-data:www-data /data0/owncloud

The best thing is then to restart the web server

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

The user www-data running php scripts was found out by current_user.php script.

Some useful commands

Add user via occ:

$>sudo -u www-data php occ user:add --display-name "Andrej Studen --group "users" andrej

Change password for user:

sudo -u www-data php occ user:resetpassword andrej
