Hi Joshua and thank you for all work you have put into this. I have a pbi based Jail instalation runing but did run into probems of updating it and manage it. I then tried DrKK s Lighttpd based methode only to find that the latest owncloud verison does not support lighttpd and the instaltion acted strange (see post under DrKKs thread). So here I am with you. I have instaled according to your guide. When I try to enter owncloud via the web interface i get the follwoing errors:

PHP module cURL not installed
Please ask your server administrator to install the module

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?
Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.

Do you have any idea what I can do to fix this?


FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201509282017
pkg upgraded today.
owncload 8.2.0 (according to your guide)

it should have been installed when you run this command from the guide..
pkg install php56-curl

you could try installing it again and restarting php-fpm
service php-fpm restart

Hi yes for some reason the line :
3. make install clean -C /usr/ports/security/php56-openssl && pkg install php56-curl
did not work. I did run pkg install php56-curl.
The make install clean did not work either so I used pkg install php56-openssl. ??

I was then able to get in OK

That's fine. compiling php56-openssl just might be needed to install apps.

Good evening Joshua, I have been working on this jail installation for the past few days. Not surprisingly, every time I follow the guide, my nginx.conf is the cause of some problems (at least, I think). For starters, my file information is quite a bit different than yours shown, and even what others have posted on this forum. The reason I think nginx.conf is the issue, is because I type in my ip, and the "Welcome to nginx!" page appears. So things are working on some level!

The nginx.conf file should be posted below. I have tried a few things with this file, trying to rule out possibilities before writing here on the forum. Of those, I replaced the entire file with what you have shown. I got the spdy module error. I then tried to replace from http up until the virtual host part: got the spdy moduel error. I probably tried a few other things. Each time, I get the spgy module error. Oh, I should mention I run the |service nginx reload| command.

As of now I redid everything (databases, jails, CL entries). Though, I have hardly messed with nginx.conf and only changed the worker_processes line, and am afraid to change anything else. If you have time, I would really appreciate your help. A few things I want to ask that may or may not matter depending on your suggestions. Sendfile and gzip are both off in your example, but are on for me. Should I change those instances to match? More specifically, in your github how-to, the words that are turquoise, should those all be changed?

Thanks again, I really appreciate the comprehensive guide. This was the first time I used command line, and so far you've made it easy.

your nginx.conf should match the one posted. I'm not sure what's causing the spdy error as I've never experienced that myslef. I suggest you google or post on the nginx/freebsd forum for more specific help with that.

Thanks, Joshua. It looks like my mistake was several things. First, I was using the nginx.conf you have in the Github website. Now, I used the most recent version you have here and noticed everything did not past over correctly. I believe I fixed the issue... sort of. Now I type in jailip/owncloud and am sent to https://www.yourdomain.com/owncloud. Is this somehow carry over from the nginx.conf I used from the Github website? I have ran |service nginx reload| and everything is working fine there, now. If starting over would be the best choice, I can do that. It becomes laborious after the 6th time, even though I am learning. Again, I appreciate the help.

What do you mean from the github website? Why are you mixing multiple nginx.conf's?

Just use the one i posted here exactly. Once you get it working you can tweak stuff.

This is the guide I originally followed. I am now using the guide here. So far, I have done everything except a few things.

For the /usr/local/etc/php.ini file I could not find the apc.enable_cli=1 line.

For /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf the only thing I changed was listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock the other lines were already there, unless I was supposed to remove the ; from in front of them. When I post http://jailip/owncloud I am redirected to https://www.yourdomain.com/owncloud

Thanks again for the help.

I specifically say "add" for the php.ini since the apc line should be added (in the PHP section)

you need to remove the ";", I specifically show those lines without them for a reason

the redirect is probably from the nginx guide you started with. if you're using my guide, I can only support using the nginx.conf I posted, so either replace what you have completely or ask for help on github instead.

I've deleted my jail a couple of time and tried to reinstall as per your guide. now I have a couple of other errors

• make install clean -C /usr/ports/security/php56-openssl && pkg install php56-curl

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake.
*** [install] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake.
*** [build-depends] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf.
*** [build-depends] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/php56-openssl.

from the web:
PHP module cURL not installed.
Please ask your server administrator to install the module.

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?
Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.

Thanks

Sweet, I just manually upgraded my owncloud to 8.2. Seemed to work without a flaw although the calendar app is acting up again with the cURL 60 error. Try to fix that again later. I just followed the manual update procedure from: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.1/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html

If anything comes up, I'll let people know and thanks Joshua, your original setup I used works great!

 

[garyjg]

Hi, can anyone help me with a cronjob... I've goolged the heck out of this and I still can get the vi to save and exit.

Thanks...

 

[ArgaWoW]

Press Esc, :wq should it be

 

[garyjg]

Thanks for the reply but I've tried it many times... I.ve pressed "i"to insert than ecs to switch and :w :q

 

[ArgaWoW]

Not :w :q..... Just :wq

 

[garyjg]

Thanks but I used this:
To insert the pound sign(#) so that the line is commented, press the i key to insert text and then add the pound sign to the very beginning of the line.
To save your changes, press the Esc key and then type :x and press ENTER to exit and save changes.

 

[ArgaWoW]

I don't know or perhaps I didn't understand. I press i paste for command then press escape :wq enter. That's all.... So sorry I can't help you to solve the problem

 

[garyjg]

Hi, it's alright, what I did seems to have worked...
