Nextcloud Running on Raspian

gjacobse

Okay - got to this stage:

Next we’ll test PHP. Run the following command to create a test file:

echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

and get:

pi:~ $ echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
-bash: /var/www/html/phpinfo.php: Permission denied

pi:~ $ sudo echo "<?php phpinfo();" >> /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
-bash: /var/www/html/phpinfo.php: Permission denied

trying

sudo chmod -R o+rw /var/www

That worked.

Have it good perfomance?

Previous versions of Owncloud were very slow in Raspberry.

I'm willing to bet that even with the Raspberry Pi 3 it's still on the slower side. Glad you got it working @gjacobse

Good performance != Raspberry Pi, ever.

I had to step back from this last night before unpacking NC and proceeding with the next step(s).

Right now I am at the point of doing the Apache Configuration:

On Debian, Ubuntu, and their derivatives, Apache installs with a useful configuration so all you have to do is create a /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf file with these lines in it, replacing the Directory and other filepaths with your own filepaths:

Alias /nextcloud "/var/www/nextcloud/"

<Directory /var/www/nextcloud/>
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  AllowOverride All

 <IfModule mod_dav.c>
  Dav off
 </IfModule>

 SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
 SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud

</Directory>

When I try to do this, I get [error writing /etc/apache2/site-avialable/nextcloud.conf: no such file or directory]

Make sure it's sites-available ... ?

gjacobse

ran this thinking it would allow me to create the file

sudo chmod -R o+rw /etc/apache2/sites-available/

same issue.. unable to create the file

Ah - thanks - didn't catch that.

Looks like I missed something...

Starting with a simple reboot - then will step backwards

Might have to manually install all of those, the meta-package may not be working in Rasbian

gjacobse

@travisdh1

That is what I am doing now. Thanks to @coliver command:

apt-cache search php

I see the full context of the module.

Boom!

Think about learning is that you chip away at it,... one problem at a time.

getting a DB error now,

Error while trying to create admin user:
Failed to connect to the database: An ex exception occurred in driver:
SQLSTATE[HY000][2002] Connection refused

Not sure if I should be using MariaDB or PHP;

Only MySQL/MariaDB is available. Install and activate additional PHP modules to choose other database types

Probably something rather simple like I need to add the user to the DB or get the correct user/password combo.

PHP is a web display language so the choice is just MariaDB. I think you can use PostgreSQL as well.

Thank you.. and you are right,.. It's been a while since I have done much web work..

gjacobse

Well - this could be the reason:

pi@nextCloud:~ $ sudo systemctl is-active mariadb.service
unknown
pi@nextCloud:~ $ sudo systemctl restart mariadb.service
Failed to restart mariadb.service: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

No - wait,.. I realize now that it could be running MySQL - ....

Make sure you run mysql_sercure_installation after installing MariaDB.

coliver

MariaDB is the default MySQL server for Debian and most modern Linux distributions. You actually have to, generally, add a new repo to pick up MySQL.
