[How-To] ownCloud using NGINX, PHP-FPM, and MySQL

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

So if I understand you correctly you are saying to run commands like this:

pkg info PHP module zip

or

pkg delete PHP module zip

for all the listed errors that showed up regarding PHP in the owncloud GUI.

Do I then do something like this?:

make reinstall PHP module zip

or possibly this;

pkg install PHP module zip

EDIT: How would I know what to compare the versions against?

just run pkg info
that will give you the package names and versions

pkg info return this:

php55-5.5.16 PHP Scripting Language

I don't see any issues. maybe you never restarted php after upgrading it?
service php-fpm restart

I was having problems with creating a folder using mkdir;

There seems to be a permissions bug in freenas 9.2.1.7.

Because of that; I changed the references in your guide from mnt/files to /media; since this directory already exists and I have used it successfully before.

Wondering if this may have led to the php errors. I tried restarting; and no luck.

Those errors are not related to permissions. Two unrelated issues, you just happened to hit alot of issues during your setup.

 

[mcolinp]

I went through everything fresh today; & it worked!

Not sure what nuance I fudged yesterday; but happy to have it working now . . .

Thanks for your help Joshua

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

no problem, glad you got it working

I haven't started using sharing links with others yet; as it is not setup to truly be accessed other than on my local network.

I noticed this alert inthe admin page of owncloud:

URL generation in notification emails
If your installation is not installed in the root of the domain and uses system cron, there can be issues with the URL generation. To avoid these problems, please set the "overwritewebroot" option in your config.php file to the webroot path of your installation (Suggested: "/owncloud")

Is this the same for you? It's not a big deal; but it would be valuable to know what causes this as I will be looking to implement the SSL and fail2ban based on the guides that cyberjock and Rickle's guides.

yup I got that too when I updated to 7.0.2
Ill add the fix to the guide.

 

[mcolinp]

That would be great; Thank you.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

That would be great; Thank you.

Fix was added to the end of the second post.

This only fixes links in notification emails automatically sent by cron, not links you generate or manually send.

Hi,
everything seems to be working just fine except sending emails via smtp and ssl/tls. I can telnet to the smtp server and it looks ok from terminal, but trying example smtp script of phpmailer included in owncloud does not work as it does not work from owncloud itself. But when using smtp without ssl or tls, it actually works. I had owncloud installed as freenas plugin before and it worked with ssl/tls. I still have that installation on different ip and it still works so I can compare something if needed. Is there something specific to nginx or php-fpm as it was to make https working? Thanks a lot for any help on this.

It works fine on my setup using GMail as my SMTP provider. I put the below in the settings/admin page.

Code:

Send mode = smtp
Encryption = SSL
Authentication method = Login
Authentication Required = Checked
Server address = smtp.gmail.com:465

 

[antanas]

ok I tried to set up gmail smtp server now and it is the same: SMTP connect() failed.

Maybe I need some more libraries to install? Are you using php56?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

Actually I am using php55 in my production machine. Just tested in my test environment (php56) and I got this error "A problem occurred while sending the email. Please revise your settings."

I see. So this is good news because it is the same for me and it narrows down the possible causes of the problem.

@antanas Here's some interesting info
http://www.phpclasses.org/discuss/package/14/thread/76/

EDIT
PHP-OpenSSL has a bug where it doesn't check Subject Alternative Names when verifying the peer. This crops up now because PHP5.6 enabled peer verification by default.

just skip building that broken port and continue the guide.
'pkg install m4'
