Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, OwnCloud is a web service that allows you to upload data via browser or by using a software client (similar to Dropbox, let’s say). ownCloud uses PHP and one of the following databases SQLite, MySQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL (you decide which db you install) and runs on all the operating systems that have support for at least one of this databases.

Try to upgrade to ownCloud6 using the above procedure for Ubuntu 12.04.
(Had installed OC version3 with Ubuntu SoftwareCenter. That was working well).
The install procedure for OC6 failed at one point:
>> sudo apt-get install owncloud owncloud-client
>> E: Paket owncloud-client kann nicht gefunden werden
Also the log has:
>> Vorbereitung zum Ersetzen von owncloud 3.0.0-0ubuntu1 (durch …/owncloud_6.0.0a-0_all.deb) …
>> Ersatz für owncloud wird entpackt …
>> dpkg: Warnung: Altes Verzeichnis »/var/lib/owncloud/config« kann nicht gelöscht werden: Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer
>> dpkg: Warnung: Altes Verzeichnis »/var/lib/owncloud/data« kann nicht gelöscht werden: Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer
>> dpkg: Warnung: Altes Verzeichnis »/var/lib/owncloud« kann nicht gelöscht werden: Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer
(If it makes sense I could delete those dirs manually, also I would lost some calendar data!?)
More log ..
>> * Reloading web server config apache2
>> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
>>[ OK ]
Starting with https://127.0.1.1/owncloud/ throws error 404
The main need it to get the ownCloud Server up and running!
Any further advice?
(If helpful I could post the complete installation log file.)
Günter
Sorry, typo .. should be:
Starting with
http://127.0.1.1/owncloud/
Page shows:
>> Not Found
>> The requested URL /owncloud/ was not found on this server.
>> Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.1.1 Port 80
Finally it’s OK for the server app after deleting all ‘old’ files/directories so a real fresh install runs well.
The only open point is:
>> sudo apt-get install owncloud owncloud-client
>> E: Paket owncloud-client kann nicht gefunden werden
Any idea how to get the OC-client installed?
URL for Ubuntu 13.04 no longer exists! Can you provide an update ?
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop
/xUbuntu_13.04/Release.key
yes, because the support for Ubuntu 13.04 has been dropped a few months already. try to install it via the Ubuntu 12.10 repository!
