Make sure that your PostgreSQL service is configured and running properly. + If this is a fresh install, you will need to run "postgresql-setup initdb" + as root, then "systemctl enable postgresql.service; systemctl start + postgresql.service". For more details on initial configuration of PostgreSQL + in Fedora, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostgreSQL + +2. Log in to PostgreSQL as system user to create the database and a dedicated + user account for ownCloud: + # su - -c "psql" postgres + CREATE USER username WITH PASSWORD 'password'; + CREATE DATABASE owncloud TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING 'UNICODE'; + ALTER DATABASE owncloud OWNER TO username; + GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE owncloud TO username; + Choose identifier and password accordingly. + +3. ownCloud talks to PostgreSQL via TCP/IP, so you need to configure an + appropriate authentication mechanism in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf. + For a simple configuration with ownCloud and PostgreSQL on the same host, + set the METHOD for the lines that apply to localhost TCP/IP connections + to "password". ownCloud does *not* use a socket to communicate with the + database, so the 'local' line in pg_hba.conf does *not* apply to it. + Note that this will result in the password being sent unencrypted from + ownCloud to the PostgreSQL server. For more details, see + http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html. + +4. You also need to allow the web server to communicate with the database by + TCP/IP: SELinux disallows this by default. Run: + # setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db on + +Now you can launch the ownCloud setup screen, select PostgreSQL in the advanced +settings and fill in your credentials. + +References +========== + +https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostgreSQL +http://www.postgresql.org/docs +http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/configuration/configuration_database.html |
