Nothing to get confused. Just install ownCloud like you'd install Wordpress
on Apache server, i.e. configure apache to run php scripts some way and run
the owncloud installer. That's it.
Since ownCloud has automatic update facility, I don't install it using
portage.

I installed owncloud, but I could not sync an iphone -- at least not to
the calendar part of owncloud. It didn't complain about the password or
anything, but just sat there after I created the account on the phone.
Has anyone gotten such a thing to actually work?

[gentoo-user] Is there a way to sync with next/owncloud without using the next/owncloud-client?
Hi, I am running without qt5. In my eyes it takes for ever to compile and mostly I am fine without it, so loosing vlc is hard - well mplayer remains. I was wondering if there is a way to sync to nextcloud / owncloud (idealy to selected folders) without using qt5. The clients do have it as dependency. I would even be fine without a gui. Command line would be enough. I know I can up- and download using firefox or any other browser but this is not what I am looking for. Sincerely

[gentoo-user] nextcloud or owncloud and qt5 or rclone
Hi, so until now I am running my box without qt5. Compiling takes so long. But I am missing a client for owncloud or nextcloud. So I see nextcloud-cliend does not run without qt5. It does not need webengine but still. So I see as alternativ there is rclone. From the size of the download it seems to be even bigger. Does anyone have experience with rclone? Or is there a third alternative? (except the using the web interface with firefox or anything like this.) Regards hitachi303

You can certainly upload by mounting the nextcloud data directory using davfs, but when you upload something, you may need to change the ownership of the files.

[gentoo-user] trying to find the cause of an http 500 error
Hi folks. I am running owncloud which I like a lot, but for the past few days I have been getting a 500 response when I try to log in to the server. Now when I look at the apache logs I see nothing about the error, I just get lines like this: [Thu May 04 23:37:10.802948 2017] [ssl:info] [pid 14953] [client 192.168.0.2:50009] AH01964: Connection to child 2 established (server ccs.covici.com:443) Even if I set loglevel debug in my apache configuration, I don't get any more about the 500 error, just a lot about ssl. Now after a lot of googling, I am told that the reason for the 50 response is a php fatal error. But I have log_errors as one in the /etc/php/apache2-php5.6/php.ini and I have the errors logged to a file /var/log/apache2/php_errors.log . So, why are these fatal errors not being logged? In case of some crazy thing in owncloud turning off logging or something, I wrote a program which triggers a fatal error (I know it does using the cli) and ran it under apache and nothing is being logged. So, the question is how to get it so I can see the fatal error, so I can get my owncloud working again? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Yes, I am. I can do those things, or I can install from the ebuild, and in either case the file structure under /var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud looks fine, permissions and all (I haven't yet tried using vhosts). Then when I browse to owncloud it asks for an admin name and password, then runs through post-install checks and announces "Your web server is not yet properly setup to allow files synchronisation because the WebDAV interface seems to be broken." Since owncloud's DAV functionality is built into its own PHP code, I can only suppose that I have a USE flag wrong here: [ebuild R] dev-lang/php-5.5.9:5.5 USE="apache2 berkdb bzip2 calendar cgi cli crypt ctype curl exif fileinfo filter fpm ftp gd gdbm gmp hash iconv intl ipv6 json mysql mysqli nls opcache pdo phar posix readline session simplexml sqlite ssl tokenizer truetype unicode xml xmlwriter zip zlib -bcmath -cdb -cjk -debug -embed -enchant -firebird -flatfile -frontbase -imap -inifile - iodbc -kerberos -ldap -ldap-sasl -libedit -libmysqlclient -mhash -mssql -oci8- instant-client -odbc -pcntl -postgres -qdbm -recode (-selinux) -sharedmem - snmp -soap -sockets -spell -sybase-ct -systemd -sysvipc -threads -tidy -wddx - xmlreader -xmlrpc -xpm -xslt" Everything the instructions ask for is in that list, unless I've missed something, but maybe something else needs changing. As I said before, usually everything is emerged in a chroot on this workstation, with the Atom's package directory nfs-mounted in the chroot, then installed on the Atom from the packages. Maybe that arrangement is exposing some obscure fault, which is why I'm currently running emerge -e world natively on the Atom, without reference to the pre-built packages. That should have finished by the end of the night and then I'll see if there's a difference. This is one expensive test in machine cycles and clock time. -- Regards Peter

If so it's keyworded and I'm sure I haven't installed it before, whereas I had owncloud running ok before my hard disk failure. That failure caused me to rebuild from scratch on its SSD replacement, because so many disk-unreadable errors came up at the end that I didn't trust anything stored on it. > Have you manually disabled webDAV in your apache configuration? > > You will need to set 'Dav Off' under the entry for your /var/www/owncloud>.

I've included this stanza in default_vhost.include: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all Satisfy Any # Dav Off With that # mark omitted I get this: # /etc/init.d/apache2 start * apache2 has detected an error in your setup: Syntax error on line 70 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include: Invalid command 'Dav', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration * ERROR: apache2 failed to start So the WebDAV module is not available, which makes sense because it isn't specified in /etc/conf.d/apache2. With the # present I still get the error from owncloud. Apache was remerged overnight; PHP has just finished, but reloading Apache still gives me the owncloud WebDAV error - so PHP isn't to blame. > Finally, increase verbosity in apache to see what access errors it reports. Good idea. Thanks again Mick. I've just found something odd. It looks like Apache is not listing on IPv4, only IPv6: # netstat -tulpen | grep apache tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::*LISTEN 0 225562 29055

I don't know if it is built as a default, or if you need to emerge dev-php/phpmd. In any case, I wouldn't expect this to have anything to do with webDAV. Have you manually disabled webDAV in your apache configuration? You will need to set 'Dav Off' under the entry for your .

Try ZeroTier, it's easy to install and setup (there's an ebuild on b.g.o) and provides VPN like access, but to individual machines on your network instead of exposing the entire network to these incompetent people. You administer ZeroTier centrally, the users only need to install the software and join the network - then you can give them access to the Samba server and nothing else on your network. However, I think owncloud/nextcloud might be a better option. As long as your users can use a web browser, they can use this and no extra software is needed. Another option may be Syncthing, which syncs a local directory with one over the network. It's encrypted and P2P and needs minimal setup on the client side. Once set up, they simply copy the files to a directory, which is synced in the background. -- Neil Bothwick Hickory Dickory Dock, The mice ran up the clock, The clock struck one, The others escaped with minor injuries. pgpSsem40BZXE.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The GetAll() and ServiceUnknown erros are often not problematic. 2. "Unable to register client with session manager" I get too; so, not a problem. 3. There is "Gvc-WARNING **: Failed to connect context: OK" but that is GNOME volume control if I understood correctly; so, also not a problem. 4. The Polkit Error "No permission to trigger offline updates" might be more concerning; though, it should just affect the update part. 5. "JS ERROR: could not get remote objects for service org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Smartcard" I think is due to a missing USE flag option for the gnome-settings-daemon package; I think that's supposed to work, so, I also don't see this as a problem. 6. "Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load" is also something non-fatal; so, also not a problem. TL;DR: One of these could be it, or not at all; I think the problem you're having right now doesn't manifest itself as a warning or error, but instead as an input / graphical problem. Can you try a different version of GNOME? A newer might have fixed it. If you need instructions on how to switch between specific version, feel free to let me know. I'll try to figure out the sequence to switch between users later today, when I can reboot my system. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You have been a big help -- I think I do have something running here, if I could get orca to talk I would probably be good to go, but the recomended keystroke super-alt-s does not work.hmmm, I was just poking and indeed orca is starting from gdm, but it seems not to have the correct options. The only thing I see is /usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop but that one does have the correct options, but orca definitely has no speech, so I think my problem will be solved if I can get orca to start talking correctly. Now once I login orca does start talking, so its only with the gdm that it does not work, so we are very nearly there. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Every CA root certificate is a self-signed certificate, but they are typically only used to sign other certificates with, intermediate, or end certificates. You configure your client to trust the CA certificate and then it will also trust any certificate signed by it. If you examine the X509 structure, you will see a field like this: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:TRUE If it were an intermediate certificate it would say: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE This is what your browser is warning you about. Anyone visiting the web page will either abort thinking that there is something dodgy with the server, or click fast on the ignore button on their browser and carry on. In this case they could well fall victim of a man-in-the-middle attack - if they do not check the content of the certificate and assure themselves that they are visiting the domain they intended to visit. Illegitimate certificates would complain in the same manner. In any case, unless you obtain a certificate which has been signed by a CA that is included in the default browser root CA certificates, random visitors are bound to get a browser warning about the CA that issued the certificate not being recognised as a trusted root CA by the browser. If they are instructed by you to accept said certificate as a trusted root CA in their browser, then the problem will go away as long as they are using the same browser on each visit. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
