Can't find Owncloud listed in any services after installed

[Goolias Andreas]

Hi,

The installation went fine, no error.
However I don't see the OwnCloud listed in any services for configuration. I browse through, user, system and network none of them listed OwnCloud service, in Alt-F packages it shows installed. I manually go into lighthttp and browse the owncloud folder, upon open Owncloud main pages said GD Library not installed, so couldn't use.
Anyone had this problem?
I install OwnCloud 7.0.2 Alf-F packages on Alt-F RC4 in DNS323.

If is not an independent service, it is a set of PHP web pages running under lighttpd control. Services->Network, lighttpd, start, then configure, then WebPage.

In the lighttpd config webUI, the "gd" PHP extension must be checked.

That is done once at owncloud install time, and will not be verified again.

[Goolias Andreas]

Hi,

Thanks for info. I remove owncloud and php as well as lighthttp and reinstall again.
This time I went into lighthttpd service and click web page, a "404: Page not found" salutes me.
I am out of my wits.

Don't understand why you did that, you only had to check the 'gd' checkbox in the PHP extensions section on the lighttpd webUI, and hit Submit.

 

This time I went into lighthttpd service and click web page, a "404: Page not found" salutes me.

That's too vague. Every step, and its results, should be reported, as I do bellow:

-uninstall owncloud

-verify that php and lighttpd are installed

-configure lighttpd supplying a folder on disk as the "server root", and check "Enable PHP". You don't need to change anything else, hit Submit

-start lighttpd, then go again to its configuration webUI and hit WebPage, try hitting the hello.html and hello.php. Working?

-install owncloud. At the end, go again to the lighttpd configuration webUI, verify that several PHP extension checkboxes are now checked (including "gd"), use WebPage and hit the owncloud link. Working?

Verified, there are still installed.

Yup, working fine.

Ok, i can see the owncloud page but it still said:

PHP module GD not installed.

Please ask your server administrator to install the module.

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?

Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.

I have these modules enabled:

	calendar		ctype		curl		dom
	exif		fileinfo		ftp		gd
	hash		iconv		json		mbstring
	mcrypt		mysql		openssl		pdo
	pdo_mysql		pdo_sqlite		posix		readline
	session		simplexml		snmp		soap
	sockets		sqlite3		sysvmsg		sysvsem
	sysvshm		tokenizer		xml		xmlreader
	xmlwriter		zip		zlib

I just enabled them I really not sure what is needed for owncloud hoping that it will work.

[Ronaldo Antoni]

After installing the packages and enable php modules, restart lighttpd. 

Or if you prefer, save the settings and reboot the machine.

What version of php do you have installed?  5.4.4-2 ?

Have you restarted lighttpd, as Ronaldo suggests (although hitting Submit will restart lighttpd)?

Have you cleared the browser cache after restarting lighttpd?

Go to lighttpd webpage, hit hello.php, and in the next page search for 'gd'. In my system I find:

gd

GD Support	enabled
GD Version	bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
GIF Read Support	enabled
GIF Create Support	enabled
JPEG Support	enabled
libJPEG Version	8
PNG Support	enabled
libPNG Version	1.2.38
WBMP Support	enabled
XBM Support	enabled

And, by the way, do you really need all those php extensions active? The more you activate the more memory php will consume, and the box only has 64MB of memory.

The ones needed for owncloud are:

Yup

Yup

Yup
 

I have tried method restart the lighthttpd still same problem.
So I uninstall owncloud and php, then I install php alone and click gd support only.
When I check hello.php, it still doesn't listed it as install.
I am not sure if I am doing it right, but it looks like this library had problem enabled in php
Is there anyway I can manually install via cmd line?

From the command line you should see:

grep extension=gd.so /etc/php.ini

extension=gd.so

ls -la /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        279380 Jun 24 14:26 /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so

php -m | grep gd

gd

Is that what you observe? It should be.

To uninstall and reinstall:

ipkg update
ipkg -force-depends remove php
ipkg install php

But after an install the gd extension will be disabled by default (the owncloud install script enables it)

php -m | grep gd # displays nothing
grep extension=gd.so /etc/php.ini # displays the extension as commented
;extension=gd.so

and must be enabled by editing '/etc/php.ini' and removing the ';' from the ';extension=gd.so' line.

[Goolias Andreas]

At first I got this:

[root@DNS-323]# grep extension=gd.so /etc/php.ini
;extension=gd.so
[root@DNS-323]# ls -la /usr/lib/php5/extension/gd.so
ls: /usr/lib/php5/extension/gd.so: No such file or directory
[root@DNS-323]#

After I remove and reinstall php and owncloud using ipkg cmd, now got this:

[root@DNS-323]# ls -la /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        279380 Jun 24 21:26 /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so
[root@DNS-323]# grep extension=gd.so /etc/php.ini
extension=gd.so

but, upon checking hello.php, I couldn't find GD module, and when click owncloud I still getting this error:

PHP module GD not installed.

Please ask your server administrator to install the module.

I went into /usr/lib/php5/extensions, I can see gd.so is there.

ffp was previous installed before I use alt-f.  would that be the problem?

Ah!

Please check its consistency executing the following command

echo -n "a122b866cfeb2c9f28925b57f1447bdb  /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so" > gd.so.md5sum
md5sum -c gd.so.md5sum

You should receive and output as

/usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so: OK

but you probably will not. 

 

Are you using a proxy server? or your ISP probably is? because you made several downloads, and the result was always the same.

I have just downloaded (again) the sourceforge php package and manually verified that it is not corrupted.

Assuming that the issue is caused by  (persistently) corrupted downloads:

I enclose a gd.so.gz, you have to transfer it to the file and execute the commands:

gunzip gd.so.gz # uncompress
mv /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so- # save a backup of the old
mv gd.so /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so # use new
cmp /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so- # compare with original, no output means identical
md5sum -c gd.so.md5sum # now should display OK
php -m # gs should now appear

Solved?

So the issue is not the gd  library.
As all other libraries were loaded, I assumed wrongly that GSM was in error.

Update:
I resorted to change the /mnt/sda2 to a new hard drive, reinstall Alt-F packages,
This time, I install lighttp, php and finally owncloud.
Yes!, no more GD library can't load problem!

And, yes, I finally able to see the first page of owncloud after so many days.
Again, thanks to Joao, for the wonderful firmware and it's packages!

I'm trying to use mysql owncloud7 and the 320L, but can not. I think it is the lack of the php5-mysql package. The error I get is: "could not find driver"

Am I right or delivering this package the problem would be solved?

ln -sf /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0

You have to select the mysql and/or pdo_mysql checkbox in the lighttpd PHP config section. I'm not sure which one is needed, please try each at a time and report back.

You also have to start mysql before starting lighttpd.

When setting up owncloud for the first time, in "Configure the database" an option to select either sqlite or mysql will be offered. You might have to follow the owncloud site instructions on how to set up mysql. I have done that once and it worked.

[Ronaldo Antoni]

Had already enabled mysql and pdo_mysql (both as a precaution);

Mysql and lighttpd start with the boot. No way to set a delay for you launch lighttpd, to ensure that the mysql is already running when the process is started?

I'm migrating an installation of owncloud that runs on another platform, then directly edited the config.php and made changes. I will do the tests when at home, but I let one more question: the links that will be created will be lost on reboot, then I enter the commands in personal script, right?

Having unneeded modules loaded is a waste of memory, and the 256MB that your box has (64MB for the DNS-323) is not like the 4GB that your PC has ;-)

 

Mysql and lighttpd start with the boot. No way to set a delay for you launch lighttpd, to ensure that the mysql is already running when the process is started?

The script start number (the NN in the /etc/init.d/SNN<service> file name) guarantees that mysql will start before lighttpd at boot and that lighttpd will be stopped before mysql at power down: S44mysqld    S52lighttpd

I'm migrating an installation of owncloud that runs on another platform, then directly edited the config.php and made changes.

Please start with a clean, fresh install first, just to be sure that it works OK. After knowing that it works fine you can start making changes, and you know that if issues arises that's because of your changes.

As you have packages installed, the links will re-appear as soon as the /Alt-F folder is (automatically) aufs mounted. Then the packages initscripts found in /Alt-F/etc/init.d will also be (automatically) executed in order.

[Ronaldo Antoni]

I made the suggested adjustments and everything worked normally. Regarding mysql, sufficed to create the links. The performance dropped significantly (perhaps depending on the verge database 200mb).

What are you evaluating? mysql only? Owncloud with mysql? overall box performance?

dropped in relation to what? owncloud with sqlite usage? owncloud on "real" PC?

Evaluate the overall performance of owncloud + dns320l!

I did the first installation using sqlite in NAS itself, getting a terrible performance, especially since the database went from 50mb performance begins to drop sharply.

So, I decided to use an old laptop that is touching. Put apache + mysql and owncloud running on it, and armazendando data on the NAS via NFS. Worked perfectly well.

After, transfer the installation of ownclou back to the NAS, with the database running on mysql. The performance was far superior compared to sqlite, but lower than it was in the notebook, which is evident by the superiority of dispníveis resources (1.8ghz + 2gb ram).

For comparison: use owncloud sharing data between two smartphones and three computers (including sending the active camera). The database holds almost 200mb and have 140 gb of data!

ah, that was what I wanted to know. You found owncloud+mysql to be significantly faster than owncloud+sqlite. At least for "large" installations.

I apologise for being so pick.

And is it usable? After my experiences with owncloud-3 on a DNS-323 I found it so slow that I disregard doing an upgrade for latter owncloud releases.

As a rule I found that the usage of interpreted languages such as python, perl or php on the DNS-3x is very slow and memory intensive.

[Ronaldo Antoni]

Access the web interface is bad. I noticed that many times the processing NAS goes to 100% and it seems to hang. Sometimes gives error on page load, even on a local network (eliminating the possibility of the link being the problem).

But working with the client installed is pretty good. And it is my intention to keep backup data synchronized all the time.

Basic summary is I've upgraded to RC4 on a DNS323. Installed lighttpd 1.4.35, php 5.4.34, mysql 5.1.73 and owncloud 7.02.

Owncloud complains:
No database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed.

PHP module GD not installed.

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?

 I've selected the needed php components in the lighttpd configure checkboxes.

# php -m

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so' - File not found in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/mysql.so' - File not found in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/pdo_mysql.so' - File not found in Unknown on line 0

The files exist in the specified directories, but file dates are newer than posted above and presumable therefore the checksums don't match above either.

I've reinstalled all packages several times. Not sure how to proceed at this point. Looking for some help if possible.

see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/b6tXJuWWuEM/9pJf7at1OvgJ

After that, both SQLite  and MySQL/MariaDB appear under the owncloud "Configure the database" setup page.

For setting up mysql you might have to follow the owncloud site instructions (and install and start the mysql server? probably, not sure about that).

[disregard this, pdo/pdo_sqlite at least are needed] It also looks like owncloud don't use/need the 'pdo/pdo_*' extensions; both sqlite/mysql still appear at the owncloud setup page even when they are not enabled.

Thanks, progress! Linking the mysql libraries fixed all the mysql problems. However, the php gd problem remains.

# php -m
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so' - File not found in Unknown on line 0

and as expected Owncloud still complains:

PHP module GD not installed.
PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?

I noticed that extensions_dir is not set in php.ini.  Will see if that helps. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to try to get GD working.

[3p141592654]

Setting extension_dir in php.ini did not help.

For your info, this issue has already been reported previously, and I opened a ticket for it

 

However, the php gd problem remains. 

# php -m
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so' - File not found in Unknown on line 0

I couldn't reproduce that (I always try to reproduce users reported errors)

As a matter of fact, before creating the links, I also had the same exact 'php -m' error messages as you, but after creating the links they all disappeared and owncloud stared working (be patient, its web interface is *slow*, as are all programs that use interpreters, such as php or python).

What does 'ldd /usr/lib/php5/extensions/gd.so' outputs?

Also noticed that php has its own built-in gd library, although Alt-F also has a libgd library (I wasn't able to convince php to use Alt-F libgd). You can try to install  the libgd package, just to see if that changes anything.

 

and as expected Owncloud still complains:
PHP module GD not installed.

I noticed that extensions_dir is not set in php.ini.

As the default value is used there is no need to set that.

[3p141592654]

I must thank you and say I appreciate you spending your precious time helping me on this.

So I installed libgd yesterday but it did not help the problem.

I found one additional clue that I thought might be related. If I try to activate webdav in the lighttpd configure menu, lighttpd will not start:

Starting lighttpd: 2015-01-15 10:01:13: (plugin.c.169) dlopen() failed for: /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_webdav.so File not found
2015-01-15 10:01:13: (server.c.679) loading plugins finally failed
Fail.

This problem has been reported earlier here, with no resolution at the time
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt-f/T7SFKBoJIUw

I checked and /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_webdav.so exists,
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         31540 Oct  1 09:31 mod_webdav.so

If that option is not set, then lighttpd works fine and gives reasonable results when I go to hello.php

The only other comment I have is that this install is an upgrade from RC2 to RC4.  The only reported solution to the GD problem was a fresh install on a new disk as reported in this thread by Goolias Andreas on Oct 11 2014.

Here is the output of ldd.  Two 'not found" errors, whoohoo!  I force-reinstall jpeg and jpeg-libs and problem is solved!  GD now loads properly.

Following up on webdav, problem was with sqlite and sqlite-libs  I did a -force-reinstall on those two packages and webdav is now working.

Now owncloud is working, but has a warning:

Security Warning

Your data directory and files are probably accessible from the internet because the .htaccess file does not work.
For information how to properly configure your server, please see the documentation.

Not sure what this means yet, but probably my error on setup.

Following up on webdav, problem was with sqlite and sqlite-libs

Yes, as the above ldd shows

 

  I did a -force-reinstall on those two packages and webdav is now working. PHP GD problem remains though! :-(

There are some issues when upgrading packages with libraries: if some running process is using a library that is being updated the update might fail without error. And the library install script can't stop running processes as it doesn't know which one should be stopped and it makes no sense to stop them all.

Some of the issues you have might most probably be related to that (or, less probably, with the RC2 to RC4 upgrade)

 

[3p141592654]

So reinstalling the indicated packages fixed all remaining issues with webdav and gd. The ldd command seems like a very good way to debug these types of problems as it very quickly led to the solution.

I now have owncloud running. I do see some issues, and it remains to be seen if the performance is there to make this viable on the dns323, but I will say that compared to my first attempt at this about a year ago it is vastly better. I am using mysql as its performance is supposed to be better than sqlite.

[Nathan Behe]

So I followed along here, but it didn't help my GD problem... Any progress on this?

[Nathan Behe]

NVM-

Rebooted and now things are working.

Thanks!

[3p141592654]

Update on owncloud 7 on a DNS-323.  It works but as expected is slow.  I was hoping to migrate ownCloud from a Ubuntu PC to the DNS-323 so that I could reduce the energy footprint of running a server 24x7, but it really just doesn't have the muscle. The DNS-320L is about 4x fast than the 323 judging by the benchmarks, which I think is still not going to cut it.  Probably need at least a 10x improvement to make it feasible.
