Thanks

Hi!
Is there some more thins that need to be activated and set up first? The phpMyAdmin needs HTTPS pages it looks like.
Its giving me the error: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
Can log in.

Hi,
The "enforce https" can only be enable when you connect to owncloud with https.
So, please login ADM and enable "Secured Web server (SSL)" on the service settings.
And then you will be able to connect to owncloud via Https. ex https://yourip/owncloud/
Don't forget to mapping the SSL port (443) via EZ-Router!

Hi,
I would like to post an update about ownCloud installation on asustor nas.

Installation steps

On the NAS
1. Go on the admin pannel
2. Open App Central then install owncloud
3. Clic on the service icon, Web Server tab then enable ssl (the connections between your nas and your client will be secured)

4. Launch the ownCloud web interface (clic on the ownCloud icon)

5. Connect using your main login informations for the NAS
6. Create the needed user account


Client side
7. Install an ownCloud client (http://owncloud.org/install/)
8. During the setup use your NAS'url (you may use the asustor ddns)
It sould be similar to this : https://yournas.myasustor.com:443/owncloud
Don't forget the "https" and the port part ":443"

8. Login with an account created previously

Hope this may help,
Tan

I just installed Owncloud on my AS-302T via Web installer http://owncloud.org/install/ using this thread's information. It worked like a fly

One hazard I stumbled upon was the Mac client when connecting on https via hostnames. Using IP address within local net worked fine but as soon as I used hostnames (local or via <server>.myasustor.com) I got error messages. With Windows client it worked fine.

I did some research in owncloud forums and found the solution. You need to add some virtual host entries for the webserver. With Asustor Portal you don't need to hassle with Apache config. Just open Services in Asustor Portal and add those hostnames you want to connect with including appropriate port and directory (I rubbished my <server>):

Add virtual host for access Owncloud with Mac client via https

Hope this helps when someone runs into the same trouble

BTW: Web installer installs 6.0a and it seems to work so far...

Anyone else having problems signing in to phpMyAdmin using ADM 2.1 BETA?

Default user/password don't seem to work.
Owncloud gets error message "Unable to connect to database"
Owncloud Android app has no problem with access.

Since I'm still experimenting on how this all works (and had little data to lose) I solved my problem by:

Uninstalling owncloud and phpMyAdmin.
Re-installing phyMyAdmin
In phyMyAdmin I removed any old traces of owncloud.
Re-installed owncloud with instructions from above.
Everything seems back to normal.

Updated to latest release of Owncloud now can't sign in via ADM. I get the following error.

You are accessing the server from an untrusted domain.
Please contact your administrator. If you are an administrator of this instance, configure the "trusted_domain" setting in config/config.php. An example configuration is provided in config/config.sample.php.

I've looked at the samples via link provided but my lack of coding skills and where to find files to update and how to update them is over my head.
Any help on finding and updating the appropriate file on Asustor NAS would be appreciated.
