@JaredBusch I'll be texting in a few hours

If I have time today, I will do this again and get some screenshots of the browser wizard filled out with the examples as listed above.

@JaredBusch I am thinking about scripting it out, unless you already have started on it?

There is no point in something like that. If you want an invisible install, use the official appliance.
https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server
https://www.techandme.se/nextcloud-vm/

Guides like this are for education as well as to provide clear instructions for a manual setup.

Once I spend a few minutes figuring out the proper sed statements, this entire thing can be concatenated into a one liner with ; separators. That is not the point.

I could, but I trust you, and I have no idea what is in the official appliance

Also it runs on Ubuntu, and I like Cent OS since I am studying for my RHCSA.

Going to Ansible or something like that is like a scripted install, but more automated and, if created idempotently, can be used to enforce consistency down the road. If you were to take the time to script the install here, it's worth considering moving to that approach. No need for an infrastructure to do that, you can just store an Ansible playbook on GIT or similar (there is free hosting out there for that) then just pull it from there.

Hi,

I did the above steps starting from Centos 7 1611 minimal updated.

Got the above results ...

I tried disabling selinux
Changing permissions to 0777 on /var/www/html/nextcloud
disabling the firewalld
same results

I made sure that I am doing everything as above

Thank you for your hard work, and guide. I prefer using it cause your are using PHP7 unlike the rest.

[scottalanmiller]

Do a netstat -tulpn to see what it is listening for.

[Alex Sage]

@msff-amman-Itofficer also double check the firewall

[JaredBusch]

@msff-amman-Itofficer at what point in the guide are you?

The forbidden error means that the firewall is open.

The default log file is nextcloud.log located in /var/www/html/nextcloud/data.

tail /var/www/html/nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log

Here is what my systemlooks like:

Obviously not. List out our directory structure as I showed and compare what your permissions look like to what I listed
