Talk:OwnCloud

Notes: Installing from a git clone generated a blank screen during installation, with the following error in /var/log/messages:

httpd: PHP Fatal error:  Cannot access protected property MDB2_Driver_mysql::$varchar_max_length in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/owncloud/html/3rdparty/MDB2/Driver/Datatype/mysql.php on line 156

This was reported to owncloud and determined to be "not a bug": http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-1583

However, I suspect that it's related to this change in PEAR: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19582

As reported, downloaded release v4.5.3 installed fine.

I made the following changes to the settings for the 'owncloud' ibay:

db accounts owncloud setprop \
AllowOverride All \
FollowSymLinks enabled \
Group www \
PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/owncloud/:/tmp/

Shall we include your iBay settings on the front page of the how-to, and why these settings are applied? [HF]
