The video showing how easy to install Nextcloud on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server, using MariaDB and Apache 2
On a machine running a pristine Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server, install the required and recommended modules for a typical Nextcloud installation, using Apache and MariaDB, by issuing the following commands in a terminal:
$ apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.0
$ apt-get install php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-mbstring
$ apt-get install php7.0-intl php7.0-mcrypt php-imagick php7.0-xml php7.0-zip
Now download the archive of the latest Nextcloud version:
$ wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-12.0.0.tar.bz2
Download its corresponding checksum file:
$ wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-12.0.0.tar.bz2.md5
Verify the MD5 sum:
$ md5sum -c nextcloud-12.0.0.tar.bz2.md5 (Angle brackets here) nextcloud-12.0.0.tar.bz2.md5
Extract the archive contents:
$ tar -xjf nextcloud-12.0.0.tar.bz2
Copy the Nextcloud directory to its final destination
$ cp -r nextcloud /var/www
You have to do is create a /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf:
$ nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
Find it from the official web page cause YouTube no allow the Angle brackets search for :
----------filepaths with your own filepaths:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html
-------
Then create a symlink to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:
$ ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nextcloud.conf
For Nextcloud enable all the require modules mod_rewrite. Enable it by running:
$ a2enmod rewrite
$ a2enmod headers
$ a2enmod env
$ a2enmod dir
$ a2enmod mime
$ a2enmod setenvif
Restart the apache:
$ service apache2 restart
Enabling SSL:
$ a2enmod ssl
$ a2ensite default-ssl
change the ownership on your Nextcloud directories to your HTTP user:
$ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/
Apply changes:
$ service apache2 reload
Create the Cloud database
$ mysql -u root -p
$ CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;
$ GRANT ALL ON nextcloud.* to 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordfornow';
$ FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
$ exit
Then go to your web browser and enter your IP address/nextcloud
