You must install +at least one webserver subpackage (owncloud-). These packages +include additional configuration files for the webservers. Remote access is +disabled by default. To enable access from any host for Apache **AFTER** you +complete the initial setup process, do this: + +ln -s /etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud-access.conf.avail /etc/httpd/conf.d/z-owncloud-access.conf + +If you wish to adjust any of the settings it is recommended that you create +a new configuration file that will override owncloud.conf, rather than editing +it, so future changes to the packaged file will be respected on your server. +If you do not do this, please be careful to check for changes in the packaged +configuration file (especially on major ownCloud upgrades) and merge into +your modified configuration as appropriate. + +Database +-------- +You can choose between three databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. +For each of them there is an ownCloud subpackage (owncloud-). +You are required to install at least one of them. The packages only ensure +the necessary requirements to communicate with a database server of that type +are installed, they do not require the database server package itself, as +you may wish to use a remote database server. If you wish to use a local one, +you must ensure it is installed and configured. + +For larger installs you should use MySQL or PostgreSQL. + +If you choose MySQL or PostgreSQL, keep in mind that you must create a database +and user for ownCloud manually, before you can finish the setup process. The +README.postgresql and README.mysql files provide more details and help with +this. + +Configuration +------------- +You can find the main configuration file at '/etc/owncloud/config.php'. Until +you first access the server it will be just a small stub containing settings +that differ in this package from the upstream defaults. After you first access +ownCloud, the initial setup process will populate it with some more settings. +Other settings that can be provided in this file are documented at: +https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.0/admin_manual/configuration/config_sample_php_parameters.html + +User Data +--------- +The default data directory is '/var/lib/owncloud/data'. Every file that is +uploaded by your users to ownCloud gets saved into this folder. Consider doing +a backup of this directory, together with the database and the main +configuration. Note that if you change this location, you must set appropriate +ownership and SELinux context attributes. + +Logging +------- +As specified by the configuration file, ownCloud sends messages to the system +logger, which means in a standard Fedora configuration it will log to the +systemd journal: try "journalctl -b | grep ownCloud". You can also change the +loglevel or switch to the built-in log mechanism of ownCloud. + +App Store +--------- +If you install additional third party apps using the built-in app store, you +can find them in the directory '/var/lib/owncloud/apps'. This functionality is +enabled by default. + + +For further information see http://owncloud.org/ and http://doc.owncloud.org/ -- cgit
