Can't get ownCloud 10.4.0 to work on Raspberry PI Debian 10

I have been trying for days to get ownCloud 10.4.0 to work on a Raspberry PI with Debian 10.

Now, when I try to go to ownCloud on my PI: http://192.168.1.180/owncloud, I just get a dump of index.php.

Does someone have a simple list of commands to install, setup, and get ownCloud running???

This is my last effort to get this going.

Hi @sgomon,
There are the manual installation instructions for Ubuntu 18.04 in the documentation:
https://doc.owncloud.org/server/admin_manual/installation/ubuntu_18_04.html

These are the basic steps you need to take. All that should be different in Debian 10 are package names while installing. You should be able to find the new package names in Debian 10 with apt-cache search <package name>.

Otherwise I would recommend to search for a basic LAMP setup that is using mod_php. That should be enough keywords for a google search to get you going.

Sounds like you either don’t have PHP installed at all or just not enabled.
Check that you have PHP installed like so;

  • dpkg -l | grep php # make sure it is PHP 7.3 (I think that’s default in Debian 10)
    There should be a package similar to this:
  • libapache2-mod-php7.3
    Enable PHP in apache like so:
  • a2enmod php7.3
    Restart apache:
  • systemctl restart apache2

These are the PHP packages I have installed on Ubuntu 20.04, just so that you know what the output should roughly look like:
