This week I tried to install and configure the Open Xchange, however following official tutorials, as well as other specialists' guides, I was not able to configure it properly, since at the time, when the OX is trying to connect to the server and create user, it reports that there is an Authentication failure. Then I tried to install OX from Quick Installation Script, however I still wasn't able to configure and run OX as it was intended. (http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quickinstall_script)
I successfully installed Seafile 1.5.0 on Debian 6. Previously I tried to install the newest version, however there was some bug, since the installer didn't recognize the presence of the python-simplejson, which was needed for further steps, complaining that there is still no one, however, it was installed already, re-installed and even updated. Then I tried the older version and it worked properly. Evaluation: I don't consider Seafile as a good alternative to Owncloud, since even if it has such option as folder encryption, which protects user's data from being viewed by the server admin, Seafile lacks functionality - no easy-to-upload interface, since you first need to create workspace and only then to upload files. It doesn't have calendar, to-dos and other in-built apps.
I tried to setup Owncloud on Debian+nginxs+mysql, however pre-installation of LNMP and then reconfiguring owncloud to work with it, gave no result.

TO-DO: - Solve the problem with the OX, configure it and evaluate. - Try another way to install Owncloud on LNMP.
