How to remove ownCloud plugin beta versions

  • Here is guide to remove beta versions of owncloud plugin and owncloud so you can setup again with updated plugin. If you have any files in the ownCloud folders make sure you download them elsewhere before you go through these steps. Any files in the ownCloud folders will be deleted via the following steps.


    apt-get --purge remove openmediavault-owncloud
    apt-get --purge remove owncloud


    cd /var/www/
    rm -rf owncloud


    If you moved the data folder to another uuid change directory to one level above it and run this command:
    rm -rf data


    Lastly,
    cd /etc/apache2/openmediavault-webgui.d/


    do a list (ls) command and see if there is owncloud.conf file. If there is do this:
    rm owncloud.conf


    Now you can install the whole thing via the plugin again. The new version of the plugin, ver. 5.6 or higher, will automatically move the data folder and update tmp location when the plugin is enabled.

  • I removed the old version as described above, and installed the new version. When I try to enable Owncloud, an error message appears :


  • Did you drop down the box and select a shared folder??? You need to select a shared folder before you can enable it. You can create one before you go into the plugin section or you can use the shares tab in the plugin to create one. After you created a shared folder to use with owncloud then enable it.


    The shared folder used with ownCloud should be dedicated to ownCloud and not used with any other services. The chmod and chown of the folder will be changed to work correctly with ownCloud. Don't use a folder that is already in use by another service. Keep that in mind.



    PS- when you install any plugin it is good idea to log out and then back in to the web-gui.
