well now I have a page that looks like this:

But I just finished @coliver page and am back to the NextCloud install

From memory this is a permissions issue. it's the chmod/chown part of JB's guide I think if you check that out (obviously changing some of the info to match whatever directories you created etc)

Just off the top of my head

chown -R apache2:apache2 /var/www/html

Must have a different user for the html server than I'm used to on Debian.

Started from Zero and and going step by step with this new information. It would have taken ME longer to find and remove all the files and folders from Nextcloud,... so starting from a fresh install was easier and faster.

Apache2 is running and confirmed. someone want a rematch on AOE II right now.

Okay - got to this stage:

Next we’ll test PHP. Run the following command to create a test file:

echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

and get:

pi:~ $ echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
-bash: /var/www/html/phpinfo.php: Permission denied

pi:~ $ sudo echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
-bash: /var/www/html/phpinfo.php: Permission denied

trying

sudo chmod -R o+rw /var/www

That worked.

Have it good perfomance?

Previous versions of Owncloud were very slow in Raspberry.

wirestyle22

I'm willing to bet that even with the Raspberry Pi 3 it's still on the slower side. Glad you got it working @gjacobse

Good performance != Raspberry Pi, ever.

I had to step back from this last night before unpacking NC and proceeding with the next step(s).

Right now I am at the point of doing the Apache Configuration:

On Debian, Ubuntu, and their derivatives, Apache installs with a useful configuration so all you have to do is create a /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf file with these lines in it, replacing the Directory and other filepaths with your own filepaths:

Alias /nextcloud "/var/www/nextcloud/"

<Directory /var/www/nextcloud/>
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  AllowOverride All

 <IfModule mod_dav.c>
  Dav off
 </IfModule>

 SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
 SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud

</Directory>

When I try to do this, I get [error writing /etc/apache2/site-avialable/nextcloud.conf: no such file or directory]

Make sure it's sites-available ... ?

gjacobse

ran this thinking it would allow me to create the file

sudo chmod -R o+rw /etc/apache2/sites-available/

same issue.. unable to create the file

Ah - thanks - didn't catch that.

Looks like I missed something...

Starting with a simple reboot - then will step backwards

Might have to manually install all of those, the meta-package may not be working in Rasbian

@travisdh1

That is what I am doing now. Thanks to @coliver command:

apt-cache search php

I see the full context of the module.

Think about learning is that you chip away at it,... one problem at a time.

getting a DB error now,

Error while trying to create admin user:
Failed to connect to the database: An ex exception occurred in driver:
SQLSTATE[HY000][2002] Connection refused

Not sure if I should be using MariaDB or PHP;

Only MySQL/MariaDB is available. Install and activate additional PHP modules to choose other database types

Probably something rather simple like I need to add the user to the DB or get the correct user/password combo.

PHP is a web display language so the choice is just MariaDB. I think you can use PostgreSQL as well.

Thank you.. and you are right,.. It's been a while since I have done much web work..

Well - this could be the reason:

pi@nextCloud:~ $ sudo systemctl is-active mariadb.service
unknown
pi@nextCloud:~ $ sudo systemctl restart mariadb.service
Failed to restart mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

No - wait,.. I realize now that it could be running MySQL - ....
