OwnCloud add-on thread

Will it work with poussins - php for the duo? Is there an easy way switching to a newer php but erasing the system ?

Thanks, KW

OwnCloud requires PHP >= 5.3 (http://owncloud.org/support/requirements/) so no super-poussin's PHP add-on won't work as it's too old.

To update to the newer PHP I believe you simply install the ReadyNASXtras PHP add-on twice (without removing it, install it over the top of itself).

I am curious how many users here have tried owncloud for readynas and why their experience has been.

I have a Duo v1. with the rsnapshot and twonky add ons. I would like to use owncloud to replace how my family accesses shared files. Instead of using cifs and AFP et al, I would like to make extensive use of syncing for documents, photos maybe some other file types.

How reliable has owncloud 4.0x (4.07 for duo v1) for readynas been for people with respect to syncing files between the nas and windows and macs?

I read in an own cloud forum their maybe some bugs in 4.0 related to file syncing.

well for a start. the site owncloud.org incl manual is off-line :(

Well, my major intend was not file sharing but the ability to have shared access to calendar and address book (using caldav respectively carddav).
I'm using ReadyNAS Duo (v1, Sparc) and the ownCloud Addon - it works very well with iPad2 and iPhone 3GS (caldav, carddav).
For my Android devices (Galaxy Gio, Galaxy Tab 7) I'm still looking for a good app.

Well, I think you first have to remove the old PHP add-on (super-poussin) before you can install the new one (of WhoCares?).
That's at least what I've done - and now phpBB and ownCloud both are working well (on my ReadyNAS Duo v1).

Here's the cookbook I've obtained from WhoCares? and which I've successfully used.
(Notice: neither me nor Stefan can guarantee success - so: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)

1. Install ssh add-on (if not done, already)
2. De-install the old PHP add-on (it might fail - at least this was the case when I've done so using Frontview)
3. Use ssh to logon to your ReadyNas and perform the following steps:

Check whether there are still some PHP parts on the NAS:

dpkg -l | grep php

All packages reported as found need to be removed using

dpkg --purge <name of the package>

(you might have to vary the sequence, due to dependencies).

Then check on your Apache configuration:

apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -t

If some file <something>.conf cannot be found (and if this is referring to PHP) then simply delete that file and repeat the check.
You should then obtain a "Syntax OK" (last section in the multi-line output).

If this is the case, start Apache and Frontview again, with:

apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart

After Frontview is working again, install the new PHP add-on twice (no restart required in-between).
This is required to replace all libraries which have been touched by the previous PHP add-on installation.

Finally check the successful execution with:

dpkg -l | grep -v "^ii"

There should be only two modules (mailx, make) listed.
It's important that no PHP module occurs in that list.

If you find anything, do post your findings. I'm looking too.

Just installed 4.04 and having some trouble.

How do I specify where to store the user data files? Right now it looks like it is using any available space on the ReadyNAS Pro.
How do I create users? When I am logged into the admin/users panel I specify user names and passwords but nothing happens when I click "create." It looks like it is a 4.04 issue so...how do I update? Do I have to wait until ReadyNASXtras updates the installer?

Own Cloud 4.5 support?

I just noticed that own-cloud 4.5 is out. I have a Readynas duo v1 and I am interested in the own-cloud add-on. I hesitated putting 4.07 for Sparc on due to some file syncing issues that were reported with owncloud 4.0X on the own cloud website. I am hoping they are resolved with 4.5. Was anyone planning on porting own-cloud 4.5 to the duo v1?

Thanks,
Brad

I'm considering installing the OwnCloud add-on on my Duo v1, and was wondering if the ability to connect securely is included in this add-on or if it has to be configured separately? Thanks!
