OwnCloud add-on thread

I just bought/installed the Readynas sparc addon with ownCloud 4.07. GUI looks fine, if slightly sluggish on the underpowered sparc but no surprise there. Uploaded some files, all ok.
I downloaded the sync client (Win7 x64).

After some minutes ( and a successfule sync) I got this message

"ownCloud Server Mismatch: The configured server for this client is too old."

Then the sync client exits. Had a few less graceful exits too from the sync client.

I can't see any older sync clients on the owncloud website. If you are thinking of trying this, and you want to sync with a local folder, I recommend you wait to see if a v4.5.1 or later addon appears.

[ EDIT: this is wrong, see the next couple of posts ]

Hi Nick,

I noticed on the own cloud site, that there are sync clients for both the newer and older versions. The site claims sync client 1.05 should be used for older versions like 4.0x. Here is the link I found: http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ . Was the 1.05 client the one you were using?

You're right. In a rush, I only saw what was available on http://owncloud.com/download and ran with that. I'll give the 1.05 sync client a go.

Thanks

Nick.

BTW, Nick.

I read in the owncloud forums, that the machines running the owncloud clients and server for the 4.0x version needs to be time synchronized within 7 seconds of each other.

Apparently , 4.0x uses solely the time stamps to determine which version of a document is newer between machines.

Although I have not yet installed 4.07 (I plan to shortly), I am setting up my windows and Mac machines to synchronize there time date once a day an when they boot up as preparation.

Just installed the WhoCares package for OwnCloud and the client refuses to sync since the server version is to old.
I see that BadBrad recommends using a older client.
I really would like to upgrade server instead of downgrade client since they fixed major security vulnerabilities.

Any ideas how to upgrade? (ReadyNas ultra2)

Hey! I'm searching for the same issue! Is there an update comming soon? Does anybodey know, where the files are stored? Is there something like a Dropbox-share I can connect to via Windows/Mac Explorer?

thanks in advance!

For now I'd advise installing the old client.

Hm, kind of strange to pay for an outdated server and use a downgraded client. Doesn't feel like I would pay for that.

Hello, if you want to upgrade OwnCloud from ReadyNasXtras package, see the following instructions : http://www.slobberbone.net/dotclear/ind ... as-Ultra-4

Sounds feasible (I do not understand French but just looking at the commands gives me the impression that it's not a big deal).
