Owncloud 8.2.1 and PHP 7 on Mac OS X Server (Yosemite & El Capitan)

The above-referenced apps are now running on my OS X Server. To get PHP 7 running, check out my previous post:

To get owncloud running, I downloaded the tar’d files from download.owncloud.org, moved them to the following directory:

/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/owncloud

And then changed the permissions so that Apache can run the show:

sudo chown -Rv _www /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/owncloud

From there, everything installs as it should and despite the warnings about Mac OS X not being supported, owncloud 7 and 8 have been running fine for me.

  1. Hi You…
    Did you have new Versions installed of both (mac os el capitano und own cloud 9.1)???

  2. Over the years, Owncloud became bloated with many extra features that I didn’t need. I ended up canning Owncloud and switched to Syncthing.
