I describe here how to install and confugure your own cloud with owncloud.org

assuming we have apache and mysql intalled

> wget http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-5.0.13.tar.bz2 > tar -xjf owncloud-5.0.13.tar.bz2 -C [/path/to/apache]/www/ > cd /path/to/apache/www/owncloud

and suppose that apache user is www-data and its group is www-data

> chown -R www-data:www-data [/path/to/your/owncloud]/config > chown -R www-data:www-data [/path/to/your/owncloud]/apps > mkdir [/path/to/your/owncloud]/data > chown -R www-data:www-data [/path/to/your/owncloud]/data

edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and set AllowOverride to All in the Directory /path/to/apache/www/

> a2enmod rewrite > a2enmod headers > service apache2 restart

open browser localhost/owncloud and see if some php modules are missed

• PHP-GD module is required

> sudo apt-get install php5-gd

• xml parser is required

> apt-get install php-xml-parser

• no database driver is installed (PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing)

> apt-get install php5-mysql (or any other database driver)

restart apache

> service apache2 restart

and got to http://localhost/owncloud : step require database connection parameters
create empty mysql database for owncloud

> mysql -uroot -p mysql> use mysql; mysql> create user sonar identified by 'sonar'; mysql> update user set host='%' where user = 'sonar'; mysql> create database sonar; mysql> grant all privileges on sonar.* to sonar; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quit

provide database username, password, and dbname to owncloud assistant in http://localhost/owncloud. And let owncloud initializes its database.

now, you have your own cloud !
