Hey all – new ownCloud installer on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 here.
OwnCloud installed by default to /var/www/owncloud. However, I want it to run at my localhost/owncloud… but all my localhost sites and folders are at /var/www/html/.
How can I cleanly move my ownCloud install without breaking anything?
Please consider me a Linux newbie+ – I can work my way around the terminal and I follow directions pretty well…
Thanks in advance!
Matt

by default it’s accessible with http://server_IP/owncloud even when on disk ownCloud is located in /var/www/owncloud.
In /etc/apache2/sites-available, there should be a file owncloud.conf
In /etc/apache2/sites-enable, there should be a symbolic link to the above file.
owncloud.conf from /etc/apache2/sites-available
will contain an Alias /owncloud /var/www/owncloud which tells apache2 service where to look for when you are trying to connect on http://server_ip/owncloud or http://localhost/owncloud (last only from the server available where owncloud is directly installed)
if you want to access your owncloud server you should modify /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php in trusted_domains section and add localhost.
localhost will have IP: 127.0.0.1 which mean you can only access it from that server only.
And… you should not move your ownCloud as the DB is already configured with that location.
Hey,
additionally to this if linux packages are used it probably would also break further updates.
