Owncloud 8 and MySQL: alternative approach

iOS app for OC isn't that great; it's buggy.

I can't stream videos on mobile device either.
Edit: Even though I used Google Chrome on my iPhone 5S, I still can't stream my music.

Has anyone successfully updated to 8.1.1?

Yep, worked like a charm. Installed the whole thing with 8.0.1 two weeks ago (Took me a whole week, because the MySQL user didnt have access to its directory for some reason).

The update to 8.1.1 now on the other hand didn't make any problems at all. It was literally just clicking "update" in the update section of the administration site.

ok ill try again, mine failed. but i used my user account with admin rights. i will try the admin user and see.

It would be awesome if I can stream media on Apple devices.

Hi,

I found that upgrading owncloud is like having an endless nightmare....

After I upgrade to 8.1.1

It gave me a few errors, which were solved thanks to the previous post of Enra (thank you once again, you are doing a fantastic work!):

Hi,just updated from 8.0.4 to 8.1 following this guide.When starting the administration page I had the same three errors, which are allready reported here:Sicherheits- & Einrichtungswarnungen

(1) PHP scheint zur Abfrage von Systemumgebungsvariablen nicht richtig eingerichtet zu sein. Der Test mit getenv ("PATH") liefert nur eine leere Antwort zurück.Bitten überprüfe die Installationsdokumentation auf Hinweise zur PHP-Konfiguration sowie die PHP-Konfiguration Deines Servers, insbesondere dann, wenn Du PHP-FPM einsetzt.

(2) Es wurde kein PHP Memory Cache konfiguriert. Konfiguriere zur Erhöhung der Leistungsfähigkeit, soweit verfügbar, einen Memory Cache. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in unserer Dokumentation.

(3) Der „Strict-Transport-Security“-HTTP-Header ist nicht auf mindestens „15768000“ Sekunden eingestellt. Für umfassende Sicherheit wird das Aktivieren von HSTS empfohlen, wie es in unseren Sicherheitshinweisen erläutert ist.

I struggled a couple of hours and found these solutions:

(1) In the pool config of your OC fpm-pool (nginx/pools) add these lines in the extra options field:env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

(2)Install php-apc:root@server:~# apt-get install php-apcAdd 'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APC', in your OC config.php.Restart php-fpm:root@server:~# /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

(3)In your nginx OC server settings add this to the server extra options:add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains; preload;";The error messages are gone.But I am not quite sure, what all these parameters do.

So take care.

But it appears the following error:

"This server has no working Internet connection. This means that some of the features like mounting external storage, notifications about updates or installation of third-party apps will not work. Accessing files remotely and sending of notification emails might not work, either. We suggest to enable Internet connection for this server if you want to have all features."

I have an internet connection.....

I looked for a solution, and the only thing I found was adding a line to config.php

'has_internet_connection' => true,

But it still didn't solve my problem...

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

I did an web update, and appeared 4 errors (3 of them were mentioned by you).
The error appeared on the "Security & setup warnings", on administrator mode like the others.

@GabrielRR,

The solutions are posted on the previous pages.

Guys,

Anybody in here know how to force owncloud to auto redirect http to https?
I did some searches, and some users said need to make the change in httpd.conf while others said change it in /etc/apache2/sites-available.
Do I need to change the port number if I'm not using the default ports?

Redirect all unencrypted traffic to HTTPSTo redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS administrators are encouraged to issue a permanent redirect using the 301 status code. When using Apache this can be achieved by a setting such as the following in the Apache VirtualHosts config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cloud.owncloud.com
Redirect permanent / https://cloud.owncloud.com/
</VirtualHost>

Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security¶While redirecting all traffic to HTTPS is good, it may not completely prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Thus administrators are encouraged to set the HTTP Strict Transport Security header, which instructs browsers to not allow any connection to the ownCloud instance using HTTP, and it attempts to prevent site visitors from bypassing invalid certificate warnings.

This can be achieved by setting the following settings within the Apache VirtualHost file:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName cloud.owncloud.com
Header always add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"
</VirtualHost>

This requires the mod_headers extension in Apache.

I was talking about the following error (my previous post):

This server has no working Internet connection. This means that some of the features like mounting external storage, notifications about updates or installation of third-party apps will not work. Accessing files remotely and sending of notification emails might not work, either. We suggest to enable Internet connection for this server if you want to have all features.

Which is not explained at any place, including the owncloud's official site.

Thanks.

I never have or heard this owncloud internet connection error before.

Ensure you using the correct ports for OMV, and OC.
And configure your router to port ward any customized port that you using for OMV, and OC.
I suggest use port 80 as a default for OC HTTP.
Re-read the tutorial and double check your Nginx settings in OMV web gui and other appropriate settings.

If you're a beginner to Linux and OwnCloud, it may take you more than three attempts to get it to work perfectly!

ok guys, i finally got some time (whole weekend) to read this entire thread... so i finally reinstall my OC to 8.1.2 ... it sucks that you cannot turn off SSL for OC, coz im using vpn for my OC... ok, to the thing.

i hope someone will finally reply to my question on this forum

when i add 'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APC' to my config.php file, the oc stop working. i think issue is with that path '\OC\Memcache\APC' , the apc is installed on my OMV. can someone help me please?

thanks

Edit: ok, i dont know if guys that created this thread dont have time for answers, but i find it by my self...

you must have installed php-apc and this lines must be in your apc config file
/etc/php5/mods-available/apc.ini :

extension=apc.so
apc.enabled=1
apc.enable_cli=1
apc.shm_size=128M

I've installed OC 8.1.1 by following this thread. But I have a problem I can't solve. OC is runnig. I see the login-screen with URL http://x.x.x.x:90/index.php
But after I've filled out name and password, I've got an error in webbrowser.
=> Chrome says: "SSL-Verbindungsfehler ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"
URL is then: https://x.x.x.x:90/index.php/apps/files/
=> IE says: "Die Seite kann nicht angezeigt werden" (The site cannot display)
URL is then: http://x.x.x.x:90/index.php
=> Edge says: "Leider können wir nicht auf diese Seite zugreifen." (near the same like IE)
URL is then: http://x.x.x.x:90/index.php
When I connect with OC-Client for windows, I can login cooret and see the files. But I cannot Setup new users etc.
In the past, there was running an OC7-installation without any problems on the same machine. I've deleted this befor I've installed the new OC 8.1.1. But the self-signed SSL-certificate was the same and expired in 2025.
Who can help me?

hi, i had same issue, you must add/enable in the plugin nginx/servers ssl, and disable ssl for omv in general tab.

because oc 8.1.1 is by default set to ssl and you cannot disable it

... when you are using also ssl for omv, then change the oc ssl port...

Hello Mio! I've done all the things you said but without success
I've disabled the OMV-SSL in general tab an aktivate the ssl in ngnix (with default port 443).

here are my screenshots:

If i try to login with url http://x.x.x.x:90 I'll get the same error like my first post after inserting my login data.

If I try the url http://x.x.x.x:433 I'll get the error directly. Then I cant see the Login page.

Dont use x.x.x.x:443 but try https://xxxx

On last screenshot i can see that you are trying connect to https://x.x.x.x:90 ... That is wrong...

Thank you for concern!
But of I try https://x.x.x.x I've got the erreor-page directly

Should I try to make a new SSL-certificate? I've tried, but no change

I tried another one. With https://x.x.x.x:433 I've got a OwnCloud-page
see below

But when I try https://pc-name:433 I've got "400 Bad Request".

ok, i guess on 2nd screen shot you are trying connect to you oc from internet... the oc try to say you that you must add your public address to your oc config.php file... the guide is here or on google how to add the ip to the trusted domains in your config file...

when you are trying to connect to your oc in your local subnet, try

https://YourOcLocalAddress/index.php

do not use "ipAddres:443" the port 443 = https ... so use https, not ":443"
