When I upgraded to F28, OwnCloud stopped working. Another reported the same
problem with NextCloud. The problem has been reported in bugzilla [1] as
Cannot login after upgrading from F27 to F28. Patrick Reeb provided a fix
with a fix-owncloud [2] script which downgrades php-sabre to F25.
Because both of the Fedora packages of OwnCloud and NextCloud are dated I
decided to use the NextCloud zip package of their current version 13.
Basically what I did was to install Fedora's NextCloud package to get the
basic configuration files and then removed the package so all what was left
was configuration files with a .rpmsave extension. Using the
nextcloud-13.0.4.zip package [3] I moved the files to my nextcloud
directory from the Fedora's package.
After a few tweaks to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf files, the login prompt
appeared on my localhost/nextcloud. I was unable to configure my
postgresql database from the web browser, so I used the command line tool
[4] (occ) to finish the install.
I did try the snap install of the nextcloud-server, but couldn't get it to
work. However, the snap nextcloud-client works like a charm.
