I have been using owncloud for some time now.
Since my last update, my page is locked on maintenance mode, message as follow:
This ownCloud instance is currently in maintenance mode, which may take a while.
This page will refresh itself when the ownCloud instance is available again.
Contact your system administrator if this message persists or appeared unexpectedly.
Thank you for your patience.
I can’t find a solution on how to fix this.
I am considering making a new folder, for a fresh installation, but this doesn’t seem as simple as I installed before, so so far I am unsuccessful x 2.
What happened to the simple installation?
if out of reach, can someone help in some starter points?
I think, installing with FTP is still possible, but no longer supported. Try it, if it works, you’re fine. If not, consider to switch to a suitable hosting.
i have done my installation by downloading the tar.bz2 file from owncloud.org, extracting it on my local system and uploading it to my webserver. Afterwards i was able to open the URL to the new installation in my browser and continue with the installation.
It seems to me this is a quite complex topic of various different terms. Personally i only had used points 2. and 5. and i’m happy so far with my installation.
I uploaded the unzipped folder and ran the index file, worked fine, thanks for the help.
the website is extremely unhelpful, maybe owncloud changed course?
