owncloud plugin now available in Plugins menu!

[tatonka]

Your web server is not yet properly setup to allow files synchronization because the WebDAV interface seems to be broken.

Well. I got this after installing the plugin. :(

How are you attempting to use it? I've never seen that message while using an ownCloud syncing client.

 

[tatonka]

I did not use any client. I installed the plugin and visited the web frontend. I filled the form for the first account and submitted it. The next page was this error.

Thanks to William, we now have an owncloud plugin for FreeNAS - it works very well!

Once you've installed it from the Plugins menu,

YOU WROTE... the above...
Hi, These plugins do not appear in my plugin menu. Why? I have the latest version of FREENAS.

Also the News app are not updating its feeds after they have been added. I see nothing in the log to indicate why this is.

Hi,
not sure its proper place to write, but after several reinstalations owncloud plugin no longer starts after installation. Reboot, reinstall or applying previosly saved configuration file not helps.
Error message from bottom of webpage:
Oct 3 01:43:21 freenas manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:473] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.51.8:888/plugins/owncloud/3/_s/treemenu: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway

Check the IP address of the jail.

 

[vadim]

IP address of Free Nas 192.168.51.8:888
IP address of Jail is 192.168.51.13
Same IP's works fine for other plugins

I have exactly the same problem. This started yesterday. Jail was working fine and then just stopped working and was no longer accessible, either via its web page or via the plugins menu. I then noticed this in my logs, that is the ip of the NAS and not the Jail. The ID number of the jail is also wrong. Its no longer 11. All other Jails work fine.
manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:473] Couldn't retrieve https://192.168.0.172:8443/plugins/owncloud/11/_s/tree menu: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway

 

[Charles Redman]

In addition to the above error message in the logs get the wonderfully useful, "Some Error has Occured" when trying to start the plugin and I get the attached error in the screenshot when trying to start the plugin.

Can someone please file a bug at bugs.freenas.org? Clearly there is a pattern of jail dysfunction here! Thanks.

I tried to setup the owncloud plugin, but I couldn't get it to work. I kept getting bad gateway no matter what I did. And since there's no idiot's guide I figured I was an idiot and I've done something wrong. But since its never worked for me(but has for others) I can only assume that I've done something wrong. So I probably shouldn't be the one to create the bug report.

Looks like i fixed the problem. There was other client on my DHCP server (modem) with same IP as owncloud get. After I move modem dhcp network out of FreeNas jails range plugin runs fine.

Hello All
I am trying to setup External Storage App in ouwncloud and ran into a couple of issues. I want to use smb and ftp to other NAS boxes. I have figured out how to install smbclient in the jail for the app to connect using smb but when it comes to ftp is shows this error:

External Storage Warning:The FTP support in PHP is not enabled or installed. Mounting of FTP shares is not possible. Please ask your system administrator to install it.

I am newbie when it comes to FreeNAS and PHP but what I have seen that for PHP to use ftp is has to be turned on or compiled in when PHP is installed.

Anyone know how to get this installed correctly or installed in the pbi.

Thanks.

Once you've installed it from the Plugins menu, you can either mount the media you'd like to export using the Jails storage manager onto /media or you can simply let owncloud sequester all the "cloud storage" in its own jail under that directory, in which case all of your cloud files will simply live in the appropriate owncloud plugin subdirectory of the jail root.

Note that if you elect to mount something under /media, those files/directories must be writable as the "www" user running in the jail. For this reason, you might wish to simply let owncloud manage the storage directly and import things into it explicitly. It will manage the permissions appropriately in that case.

To create your owncloud login and set it up, just click on the owncloud plugin icon once it's installed and turned on and follow the link!

Enjoy!

Wondering about the 'just click on the owncloud plugin icon once it's installed and turned on and follow the link'. I don't see any clickable icon. Not sure if I have too early a release of 9.1 and need to upgrade. Any thoughts?

All I can think of is that you didn't actually manage to install it. Any installed plugin will have an icon under the plugins tree menu item. If you don't see an icon, the corresponding plugin simply isn't installed.

Erm, I think you may be over-complicating this. ;) Just stick with the defaults. The first screen you'll be presented with in the owncloud setup is the username and password you want to use - you're essentially creating the account the first time. You don't need to select the mysql database - you should just stick with the sqlite default.

Also note that everyone in your family will need to use the same username and password if you want to share your cloud storage this way, so pick a username that's appropriate, e.g. not "andy" but "smithfamily" or something suitably descriptive. :)

Hello,

I access the NAS web control panel, and clicked on plugins, but I only see Bacula, Bittorrent, DLNA, and mt-daap. No OwnCloud. What am I doing wrong?
