Manual Installation on Linux
============================

Installing ownCloud on Linux from the openSUSE Build Service packages is the 
preferred method (see :doc:`linux_installation`). These are maintained by 
ownCloud engineers, and you can use your package manager to keep your ownCloud 
server up-to-date.

.. note:: Enterprise Subscription customers should refer to  
   :doc:`../enterprise_installation/linux_installation`

If there are no packages for your Linux distribution, or you prefer installing 
from sources, you can setup ownCloud from scratch using a classic LAMP stack 
(Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP). This document provides a complete 
walk-through for installing ownCloud on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server with Apache and 
MySQL.

Prerequisites
-------------

.. note:: This tutorial assumes you have terminal access to the machine you want
          to install ownCloud on. Although this is not an absolute requirement,
          installation without it is likely to require contacting your
          hoster (e.g. for installing required modules). Consult the 
          `PHP manual <http://php.net/manual/en/extensions.php>`_ for information on modules. 
          Your Linux distribution should have packages for all required modules.

To run ownCloud, your Web server must have the following installed:

* php5 (>= 5.4)
* PHP module ctype
* PHP module dom
* PHP module GD
* PHP module iconv
* PHP module JSON
* PHP module libxml
* PHP module mb multibyte
* PHP module posix
* PHP module SimpleXML
* PHP module XMLWriter
* PHP module zip
* PHP module zlib

Database connectors (pick the one for your database:)

* PHP module sqlite (>= 3, usually not recommended for performance reasons)
* PHP module mysql (MySQL/MariaDB)
* PHP module pgsql (requires PostgreSQL >= 9.0)

*Recommended* packages:

* PHP module curl (highly recommended, some functionality, e.g. http user
  authentication, depends on this)
* PHP module fileinfo (highly recommended, enhances file analysis performance)
* PHP module bz2 (recommended, required for extraction of apps)
* PHP module intl (increases language translation performance and fixes sorting 
  of non-ASCII characters)
* PHP module mcrypt (increases file encryption performance)
* PHP module openssl (required for accessing HTTPS resources)

Required for specific apps:

* PHP module ldap (for LDAP integration)
* `php5-libsmbclient <https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv%3AownCloud%3Acommunity%3A8.1&package=php5-libsmbclient>`_
* PHP module ftp (for FTP storage / external user authentication)
* PHP module imap (for external user authentication)

Recommended for specific apps (*optional*):

* PHP module exif (for image rotation in pictures app)
* PHP module gmp (for SFTP storage)

For enhanced server performance (*optional*) select one of the following 
memcaches:

* PHP module apc
* PHP module apcu
* PHP module memcached
* PHP module redis (required for Transactional File Locking)

See :doc:`../configuration_server/caching_configuration`.

For preview generation (*optional*):

* PHP module imagick
* avconv or ffmpeg
* OpenOffice or LibreOffice

* You don’t need the WebDAV module for your Web server (i.e. Apache’s
  ``mod_webdav``) to access your ownCloud data via WebDAV. ownCloud has a built-in
  WebDAV server of its own, SabreDAV.

Example installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server
-----------------------------------------------
On a machine running a pristine Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server, install the
required and recommended modules for a typical ownCloud installation, using
Apache and MariaDB, by issuing the following commands in a terminal::

    apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php5
    apt-get install php5-gd php5-json php5-mysql php5-curl
    apt-get install php5-intl php5-mcrypt php5-imagick

* This installs the packages for the ownCloud core system. If you are planning 
  on running additional apps, keep in mind that they might require additional 
  packages.  See the Prerequisites section (above) for details.

* At the installation of the MySQL/MariaDB server, you will be prompted to 
  create a root password. Be sure to remember the password you enter there 
  for later use as you will need it during ownCloud database setup.

Now download the archive of the latest ownCloud version:

* Go to the `ownCloud Download Page <http://owncloud.org/install>`_.
* Click the **Archive file for server owners** button.
* Click **Download Unix**.
* This downloads a file named owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2 (where
  x.y.z is the version number of the current latest version).
* Download its corresponding checksum file, e.g. owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.md5, 
  or owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.sha256. 
* Save these files in the same directory on the machine you want to install 
  ownCloud on.
* Verify the MD5 or SHA256 sum::
   
    md5sum -c owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.md5 < owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
    sha256sum -c owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.sha256 < owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
   
* You may also verify the PGP signature::
    
    wget https://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.asc
    wget https://www.owncloud.org/owncloud.asc
    gpg --import owncloud.asc
    gpg --verify owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.asc owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
  
* Now you can extract the archive contents. Open a terminal, navigate to your 
  download directory, and run::

    tar -xjf owncloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2

* Copy the ownCloud files to their final destination in the document root of 
  your web server::

    cp -r owncloud /path/to/webserver/document-root

  where ``/path/to/webserver/document-root`` is replaced by the 
  document root of your Web server. On Ubuntu systems this 
  ``/var/www/html/owncloud``, so your copying command is::
    
    cp -r owncloud /var/www/html
    
Apache Web Server Configuration
-------------------------------

On Debian, Ubuntu, and their derivatives, Apache installs with a useful 
configuration so all you have to do is create a 
:file:`/etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf` file with these lines in it:

.. code-block:: xml
   
   Alias /owncloud /var/www/owncloud
   <Directory /var/www/owncloud/>
    AllowOverride All
   </Directory>

Then create a symlink to  :file:`/etc/apache2/sites-enabled`::

  ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf
  
Additional Apache Configurations
--------------------------------

* For ownCloud to work correctly, we need the module ``mod_rewrite``. Enable it 
  by running::

    a2enmod rewrite
  
  Additional recommended modules are ``mod_headers``, ``mod_env``, ``mod_dir`` and ``mod_mime``::
  
    a2enmod headers
    a2enmod env
    a2enmod dir
    a2enmod mime
  
  If you're running ``mod_fcgi`` instead of the standard ``mod_php`` also enable::
  
    a2enmod setenvif

* You should make sure that any built-in WebDAV module of your Web server is 
  disabled (at least for the ownCloud directory), as it will interfere with 
  ownCloud's built-in WebDAV support.

  If you need the WebDAV support in the rest of your configuration, you can turn 
  it off specifically for the ownCloud entry by adding the following line in 
  the ``<Directory`` section for your ownCloud server::

    Dav Off  

* You must disable any server-configured authentication for ownCloud, as it 
  uses Basic authentication internally for DAV services. If you have turned on 
  authentication on a parent folder (via e.g. an ``AuthType Basic``
  directive), you can turn off the authentication specifically for the ownCloud 
  entry. Following the above example configuration file, add the following line 
  in the ``<Directory`` section::

    Satisfy Any

* When using SSL, take special note of the ServerName. You should specify one in 
  the  server configuration, as well as in the CommonName field of the 
  certificate. If you want your ownCloud to be reachable via the internet, then 
  set both of these to the domain you want to reach your ownCloud server.
  
* Now restart Apache::
  
     service apache2 restart
     
.. note:: You can use ownCloud over plain HTTP, but we strongly encourage you to
          use SSL/TLS to encrypt all of your server traffic, and to protect 
          user's logins and data in transit.

.. _enabling-ssl-label:

Enabling SSL
------------

Apache installed under Ubuntu comes already set-up with a simple
self-signed certificate. All you have to do is to enable the ssl module and
the default site. Open a terminal and run::

     a2enmod ssl
     a2ensite default-ssl
     service apache2 reload

.. note:: Self-signed certificates have their drawbacks - especially when you
          plan to make your ownCloud server publicly accessible. You might want
          to consider getting a certificate signed by a commercial signing
          authority. Check with your domain name registrar or hosting service,
          if you're using one, for good deals on commercial certificates.    
    
Installation Wizard
-------------------

You may complete your installation by running either the graphical Installation 
Wizard, or on the command line with the ``occ`` command. To use ``occ`` see 
:doc:`command_line_installation`.

To use the graphical Installation Wizard see :doc:`installation_wizard`.

Setting Strong Directory Permissions
------------------------------------

We recommend setting the directory permissions in your ownCloud installation as 
strictly as possible for stronger security. Please refer to :ref:`strong_perms`.

SELinux
-------

See :doc:`selinux_configuration` for a suggested configuration for 
SELinux-enabled distributions such as Fedora and CentOS.

Apache is the recommended Web server.

Configuration notes to php.ini files
------------------------------------

Keep in mind that changes to ``php.ini`` may have to be done on more than one 
ini file. This can be the case, for example, for the ``date.timezone`` setting.

**php.ini - used by the webserver:**
::

   /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
 or
   /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
 or ...

**php.ini - used by the php-cli and so by ownCloud CRON jobs:**
::

  /etc/php5/cli/php.ini


.. _using_php-fpm:

Configuration notes to php-fpm
------------------------------

**Security: Use at least PHP => 5.5.22 or >= 5.6.6,**

Due to `a bug with security implications <https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64938>`_ 
in older PHP releases with the handling of XML data you are highly encouraged to run
at least PHP 5.5.22 or 5.6.6 when in a threaded environment.

**System environment variables**

When you are using ``php-fpm``, system environment variables like 
PATH, TMP or others are not automatically populated in the same way as 
when using ``php-cli``. A PHP call like ``getenv('PATH');`` can therefore 
return an empty result. So you may need to manually configure environment 
varibles in the appropropriate ``php-fpm`` ini/config file. 

Here are some example root paths for these ini/config files:

+--------------------+-----------------------+
| Ubuntu/Mint        | CentOS/Red Hat/Fedora |
+--------------------+-----------------------+ 
| ``/etc/php5/fpm/`` | ``/etc/php-fpm.d/``   |
+--------------------+-----------------------+ 

In both examples, the ini/config file is called ``www.conf``, and depending on 
the distro version or customizations you have made, it may be in a subdirectory.

Usually, you will find some or all of the environment variables 
already in the file, but commented out like this::

	;env[HOSTNAME] = $HOSTNAME
	;env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
	;env[TMP] = /tmp
	;env[TMPDIR] = /tmp
	;env[TEMP] = /tmp

Uncomment the appropriate existing entries. Then run ``printenv PATH`` to 
confirm your paths, for example::

        $ printenv PATH
        /home/user/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:
        /sbin:/bin:/

If any of your system environment variables are not present in the file then 
you must add them.

When you are using shared hosting or a control panel to manage your ownCloud VM 
or server, the configuration files are almost certain to be located somewhere 
else, for security and flexibility reasons, so check your documentation for the 
correct locations.

Please keep in mind that it is possible to create different settings for 
``php-cli`` and ``php-fpm``, and for different domains and Web sites. 
The best way to check your settings is with :ref:`label-phpinfo`.

**Maximum upload size**

If you want to increase the maximum upload size, you will also have to modify 
your ``php-fpm`` configuration and increase the ``upload_max_filesize`` and 
``post_max_size`` values. You will need to restart ``php5-fpm`` and your HTTP 
server in order for these changes to be applied.

**.htaccess notes for webservers \<> Apache**

ownCloud comes with its own ``owncloud/.htaccess`` file. ``php-fpm`` can't 
read PHP settings in ``.htaccess`` unless the ``htscanner`` PECL extension is 
installed. If ``php-fpm`` is used without this PECL extension installed, 
settings and permissions must be set in the ``owncloud/.user.ini`` file.
