Install NextCloud 11.0.2 on CentOS 7 with PHP 7.1 from Remi

@aaronstuder @JaredBusch

Looks like it is time to Q.A all the other articles at this site and start testing them as well !!!

I'm joking, I love this site/forum and the users that are interactive and supportive.

All the thanks to you Jared for the huge effort, and putting this guide/article that got me motivated to deploy and test, I'm certain you will find out what is wrong and it will something silly.

ok just completed and http://nctest.bundystl.com/nextcloud is forbidden but the http://nctest.bundystl.com serves.

log has this.

[Thu Mar 16 14:11:38.044903 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 29289] [client 47.50.171.66:58578] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

Testing shows the above is generated by browsing to the root (no /nextcloud) so we can ignore.

This is then the problem.

Let's look at the nextcloud.conf vhost file that was downloaded.

Yup, that is the problem.

ProxyPassMatch ^/nextcloud/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/usr/share/nextcloud/$1

Alias /nextcloud "/usr/share/nextcloud/"
<Directory "/usr/share/nextcloud">
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Require all granted

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

  SetEnv HOME /usr/share/nextcloud
  SetEnv HTTP_HOME /usr/share/nextcloud
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/share/nextcloud/data/">
  # just in case if .htaccess gets disabled
    Require all denied
</Directory>

Let me go look at the system I installed a couple days before I made the guide and see what is in that one.

[JaredBusch]

unrelated, but the redis memcache and locking stuff cannot be set where currently specifed. I'll fix that once this is resolved.

[JaredBusch]

they f***ing broke it..

https://github.com/nextcloud/server-packages/tree/master/centos

[JaredBusch]

but the official manual install guide (ubuntu example) specifically states to use the webroot still.
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#example-installation-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-server

[JaredBusch]

Opened an issue on github and posted on the NC forums. in the mean time, give me a few and I will get a valid file setup.

[JaredBusch]

This is the original nextcloud.conf file.
3 days ago he added some proxy info to it. that caused the service unavailable error. 1 day ago he changed the damned directory. that caused the permissions error.

wget -O /etc/httpd/conf.d/nextcloud.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/server-packages/18f3837752589739b53bc62705c45a54faddbb4a/centos/nextcloud.conf

@msff-amman-Itofficer instructions updated and pictures made with the initial web gui setup also.

[JaredBusch]

on a side note, these instructions work without ever disabling SELinux. Not even during install.

[dafyre]

Updated instructions work for me.

Shoudl have clarified, lol. I was using the updated instructions.

[JaredBusch]

I tweaked the SSL config section as well and tested again.

Hehe no surprise there.

Hi,

I can confirm it is working, and it is alive ...

Thanks for the fix, and sorry for the delay.

however If i can nitpick, I am unable to enable memory cache and file locking.

Look at the screenshots and I dont know really where to put those lines:

'memcache.locking' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
'redis' => array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 6379,
),

I tried putting them in 3 places, yet everytime it failed after saving and restarting the server, the webserver no longer boots up.

I know those are more of an optional stuff, but if you have quick fix or suggestion, I will be much in your debt.

[JaredBusch]

@msff-amman-Itofficer it goes anywhere.

[root@nctest ~]# cat /var/www/html/nextcloud/config/config.php 
<?php

  ),
);

@JaredBusch

I simply didn't copy the
),
with the rest of the commands.
cause I already saw it in the file, but after a second look of your config, I realized it was in the file as
);
