NethServer 6

How to use yum-downloadonly: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10154

I have downloaded new version of ownCloud for CentOS-6:

owncloud-3rdparty-7.0.2-12.1.noarch
owncloud-7.0.2-12.1.noarch

Upgrade from release 5 is automatically done by the occ tool.

Upstream official rpm package doesn't have policycoreutils-python among dependencies.
Errors on install:

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WSF2AS: line 5: semanage: command not found
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WSF2AS: line 7: semanage: command not found
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WSF2AS: line 9: semanage: command not found

See upstream bug https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/11576

The occ command line tool has been patched to support ldap empty configuration creation:

occ ldap:create-empty-config

It is used when clear installation, before setting the ldap configuration values.

The occ tool is launched using:

php -d "magic_quotes_gpc = Off" /var/www/html/owncloud/occ ...

With clear installation, LDAP authentication is activated by default.

With update from ownCloud 5, the configuration will not be changed. Only the upgrade of database is automatically made using occ upgrade.

The bug has been resolved and the new packages are available for CentOS-6:

   2. verify that installation ends with success (no error generation in the command line and in the log file /var/log/messages)
   3. verify default login authentication with default credentials of admin user.
   4. create a new user in NethServer (https://server:980) and set its password (or use one already present)
   5. verify owncloud login authentication with new user credentials
   6. try to test all the general ownCloud functionalities
2. Test the update from ownCloud 5 (with no ldap authentication configured)

Owncloud does not reload LDAP users after creating/editing/modifying a system user.

The LDAP user list is cached with a default refresh interval time of ten minutes.
It should be possible to force the cache to zero with:

php -d "magic_quotes_gpc = Off" /var/www/html/owncloud/occ ldap:set-config '' ldapCacheTTL 0

So, I have updated the official documentation with a manual method to force the refresh of the list:

Refresh user list

When you create a new system user, it does not appears immediately in the ownCloud user list (admin -> Users). This is because a cache interval is expected and the default value is ten minutes. So if you want to force the update of the user list you must do the following actions:

admin -> Admin
click “Advanced” tab
click “Save” button
admin -> Users

The backup save the configuration file
/var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php
and all data of the users
/var/www/html/owncloud/data

The apps /var/www/html/owncloud/apps are not copied, so after a restore they must be manually re-installed.

1. Test the update from ownCloud 5 (with ldap authentication configured)
   1. update from OC5 to OC7
   2. verify that the update ends with success (no error generation in the command line and in the log file /var/log/messages)
   3. go to https://server/owncloud and verify that no "upgrade" button is present (the upgrade is automatically done)

I can't login because this error at login page
[1045] SQLSTATE²⁸⁰⁰⁰ [1045] Access denied for user 'ownuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Same error on owncloud.log

{"app":"index","message":"PDOException: SQLSTATE²⁸⁰⁰⁰ [1045] Access denied for user 'ownuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]","level":4,"time":"2014-07-05T09:35:13+00:00"}

Test Failed

The problem
After upgrade from 5 to 7 the config.php remains the old and it uses the old password.
Now the nethserver-owncloud new package generate a different password for each installation, so the software crash to login owncloud database.

The solution
Find a method to regenerate the correct config.php file.

Note
"You cannot skip major releases; for example, upgrading from 5.0 to 7.0. This is unsupported, and you’ll likely experience unpredictable results. It is best to install all upgrades and updates in order." reported by the official doc page.
Nevertheless we have decided to do the upgrade from 5 to 7 because the upgrade of the databases is made by the occ command line tool.

I have enabled also HTTPS by default inserting "forcessl": true in the config.php file.

it works, we should document

I opened the #2942 task.

@alepolidori: can you put this issue on DEV status and verify why step 1 fails?

I have uploaded the following new packages:

owncloud-7.0.2-28.1.noarch
owncloud-3rdparty-7.0.2-28.1.noarch

LDAP does not work, so ldap TLS has been disabled, because of the following error in the log:

{"app":"PHP","message":"ldap_start_tls() [<a href='function.ldap-start-tls'>function.ldap-start-tls<\/a>]: Unable to start TLS: Connect error at \/var\/www\/html\/owncloud\/apps\/user_ldap\/lib\/ldap.php#252","level":3,"time":"2014-11-04T14:58:57+00:00"}

I have added the following to the config.php:

'check_for_working_webdav' => false,

{"app":"core","message":"isWebDAVWorking: NO - Reason: [CURL] Error while making request: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (error code: 77) (Sabre\\DAV\\Exception)","level":2,"time":"2014-11-04T14:59:49+00:00"}

The ldap cache is now set to "0".
So the user list does not be manually updated and so I have updated also the admin documentation.

test 1

Clean installation done, owncloud webpage visible (no login) with some errors

"No database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed."
"PHP module GD not installed.Please ask your server administrator to install the module."
"PHP module PDO 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."

I confirm the behaviour described by Michele
It seems we need to have these dendencies php-pdo php-gd
If I install them this problem disappears but another come out, owncloud asks me to configure admin credentials and database (wrong behaviour)

If I install these packages:
php-pear-MDB2-Driver-mysqli php-pear-Net-Curl
this second problem disappears too.

now we have this message

• configure LDAP authentication (see the admin manual section)
• clean install of version 7

It is recommended to repeat the other test.

Test clean installation WORKS!

All done well done !

I maked all previuos tests with owncloud-7.0.2-17.1.noarch.rpm then from my point of view repeat tests isn't mandatory

Fixed and error on upgrade from 5 to 7, see https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/6152#issuecomment-30236917

• nethserver-owncloud-1.0.2-15.0gitf3a5a923.ns6.noarch.rpm

Patch has been already tested.

As reported before, upgrade from version 5 to 7 is not supported.
Even if all tests went good, the package will be in testing for a while to find possible problems when upgrading old releases.
