Week 1 report:

-created server for owncloud and several users -installed clients on Ubuntu, Windows and Android -test and evaluate it

Create server:

For xUbuntu 12.10 run the following as root:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-common php5-gd
sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite curl libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev php5-curl
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_12.10/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list
apt-get update
apt-get install owncloud
You can add the repository key to apt like this:
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_12.10/Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key
mkdir /home/data_owncloud/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud/
sudo chmod 750 /home/data_owncloud/
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/owncloud/config/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/data_owncloud/
nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

In section «Directory /var/www» change AllowOverride none to AllowOverride All

sudo service apache2 restart

In browser: localhost/owncloud/ Data folder:/home/data_owncloud/

Owncloud client installation

For xUbuntu 12.10 run the following as root:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:devel/xUbuntu_12.10/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud-client.list
apt-get update
apt-get install owncloud-client
You can add the repository key to apt like this:
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:devel/xUbuntu_12.10/Release.key
apt-key add - < Release.key

Installation on Windows is pretty straightforward, going to the official website and downloading&then installing the client.

Problems occurred: - No access to the server from other locations (not NU) - Android client has almost no functionality and is also not free

To do: - Continue evaluation and testing - Try to add functionality to android app and think about possible prototype for another one
