How to install and configure OwnCloud on Xubuntu 14.04
Open Terminal and type the following commands
[codesyntax lang=”bash” lines=”normal” lines_start=”1″]

1 2 3 4 5 |
echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/xUbuntu_14.04/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list sudo wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/xUbuntu_14.04/Release.key sudo apt-key add - < Release.key sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install owncloud owncloud-client |
[/codesyntax]
The command above will download and install Owncloud to the directory: /var/www/owncloud. But, Xubuntu 14.04 uses this directory for the www root directory: /var/www/html. So we need to adjust it.
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]

sudo mv /var/www/owncloud /var/www/html |
[/codesyntax]
Now, we need to enable the https on the server
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]

[/codesyntax]
At this point, Owncloud is installed and can be accessed using Firefox or other web browser by typing: http://localhost/owncloud.
