Manual owncloud V4.0.6 Install on Amahi

[bigfoot65]

This might be something good to add to the wiki with the install guidance. Maybe a separate page?

What are the Amahi defaults for the /etc/php.ini file for the following:

upload_max_filesize
post_max_size

These parameters effect the maximum size of upload that is allowed to a PHP server. This also effects the maximum
size of files that can be uploaded to owncloud.

I already tinkered with my Amahi php.ini settings so I don't know what I started with.

No need to mess with the php.ini file as the app sets the limits. There is a file in /var/hda/web-apps/owncloud/html called .htaccess. Contents are as follows:

Code: Select all

ErrorDocument 403 /core/templates/403.php ErrorDocument 404 /core/templates/404.php <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value upload_max_filesize 512M php_value post_max_size 512M php_value memory_limit 512M

You will notice the file size is set to 512MB. That can be easily changed by editing that file. It's best to always set php options with the app and never mess with php.ini. It could break other apps or functions.

Great! I will try that out and see if it does the job.

Ok that worked a treat!

So I changed it to:

php_value upload_max_filesize 4.7G
php_value post_max_size 5.0G

The reason for this? Using the defaults limits the size of each file a person can upload. For example, some videos like .mkv files can be typically 1.0 GB or greater.

Most people might not want to mess with configuring php like some of us. I chose about the size of a DVD.

So do you have any recommendations to start with in the package?

[bigfoot65]

We can set it large and then document in the wiki how to change it. This app still requires testing, so we might find an optimum value when that time comes.

[northridgegrp]

Ok so how about setting the "php_value upload_max_filesize 512M" and "php_value post_max_size 512M" to the large values I used during testing to start with?

[bigfoot65]

That is a thought. I presume you tested uploading files of that size?

[northridgegrp]

Yes tested upload. Have a look at the email attachment I submitted last night.

[bigfoot65]

Will take a look when I get a chance.
