 Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2015 6:58 pm Post subject: Owncloud and Lighttpd |
 |
|
The following is my journey to get Owncloud installed. I'm not a dev, I just have some understanding of linux. I will be using Owncloud on my home network and it will not have any outside network access.
After reading the owncloud wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Owncloud
I saw that there were 3 options for the webserver: nginx, apache and lighttpd, which was the order I tried them. I ended up using lighttpd. The following are the steps I took to get Owncloud working.
Installation
1. Add the following to package.accept_keywords: (for amd64)
| Code: | app-admin/webapp-config ~amd64
dev-lang/php ~amd64
www-servers/lighttpd ~amd64
www-apps/owncloud ~amd64 |
2. Install webapp-config
A. | Code: | | emerge -av webapp-config |
B. Modify /etc/vhosts/webapp-config
From
| Code: | | vhost_server="apache" |
To
| Code: | | vhost_server="lighttpd" |
3. Install webserver lighttpd (default use -php)
| Code: | | emerge -av www-servers/lighttpd |
4. Install Owncloud server
| Code: | | emerge -av www-apps/owncloud |
5. Modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.config
Uncomment the following
| Code: | server.document-root = var.basedir + "/htdocs"
server.errorlog = var.logdir + "/error.log"
accesslog.filename = var.logdir + "/access.log"
include "mod_fastcgi.conf" |
6. Modify /etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf
Use the following: (overwrite what is originally supplied)
| Code: | server.modules += ("mod_fastcgi")
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => "9000"
)
)
) |
7. Modify /etc/php/fpm-php5.6/php.fpm.conf
A. Uncomment
| Code: | listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
pm.start_servers = 20
error_log = /var/log/php-fpm.log |
B. Change
From
| Code: | ;user = nobody
;group = nobody |
To
| Code: | user = yourclouduser
group = yourclouduser |
8. Test lighttpd.conf (should return a 0)
| Code: | | lighttpd-angel -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf |
9. Add the following to /etc/php/fpm-php5.6/php.ini
| Code: | | date.timezone = America/New_York |
10. Change ownership to lighttpd
| Code: | | chown -R lighttpd:lighttpd /var/www/localhost/ |
11. Change ownership to owncloud (Owncloud script, see below)
Execute owncloud.sh
12. Modify group
Add lighttpd to yourclouduser
yourclouduser:x:1001:lighttpd
13. Start lighttpd & php-fpm
| Code: | | rc-update add lighttpd default && rc-update add php-fpm default && /etc/init.d/php-fpm start && /etc/init.d/lighttpd start |
14. Test lighttpd in browser (see below)
A. http://localhost/info.php
or
B. http://localhost/whoami.php
15. Restart
16. Owncloud setup
http://localhost/owncloud
17. Setup cron job
| Code: | | sudo crontab -u yourclouduser -e |
*/15 * * * * php -f /var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud/cron.php
18. Install Owncloud client
| Code: | | emerge -av net-misc/owncloud-client |
19. Change file handling size (Can't be changed in GUI due to Lighttpd)
Modify /var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud/user.ini
From
| Code: | upload_max_filesize=513M
post_max_size=513M |
To
| Code: | upload_max_filesize=16G
post_max_size=16G |
The following three files are to help setup Owncloud.
1. Owncloud script - change permissions for owncloud
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
ocpath='/var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud'
htuser='yourclouduser'
htgroup='yourclouduser'
find ${ocpath}/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
find ${ocpath}/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750
chown -R root:${htuser} ${ocpath}/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/apps/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/config/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/data/
chown -R ${htuser}:${htgroup} ${ocpath}/themes/
chown root:${htuser} ${ocpath}/.htaccess
chown root:${htuser} ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess
chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/.htaccess
chmod 0644 ${ocpath}/data/.htaccess |
2. /var/www/localhost/htdocs/info.php - PHP info
| Code: | | <?php phpinfo(); ?> |
3. /var/www/localhost/htdocs/whoami.php - Tells who is the current group and user for Owncloud
| Code: | <?php
echo "User: " . exec('whoami');
echo "Group: " . exec('groups');
?> |
It is recommended that you setup a group/user to use for Owncloud. I have shown that as yourclouduser.
Upgrades
After portage upgrades Owncloud make the following adjustments:
1. Update config
| Code: | | sudo CONFIG_PROTECT="/var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud//" etc-update |
2. Run Owncloud upgrade - Open Owncloud via browser and after login an update process will be presented.
3. Change file handling size - see step #19 of installation.
4. Re-enable app's
History
I tried all three webservers but could only get lighttpd to work fully.
