Setup your personal Cloud server in minutes using ownCloud On RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux 6.5
================================================================================
[ownCloud][1] is a free Open Source software, used to setup your own personal cloud for file sharing, Calender, Contact and Bookmark sharing and Personal Audio/Video Streaming. It is pretty easy to setup and manage.

### Prerequisites ###

In this tutorial i am using CentOS 6.5 minimal server to setup ownCloud. My testbox details are given below.

    Operating system: CentOS 6.5 Minimal Installation
    IP Address: 192.168.1.101/24

While it was tested on CentOS 6.5, it is applicable for all RPM based distros.

Then your server should have a working LAMP stack. Refer the following link to setup LAMP server.

- [Install LAMP server on RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux][2]

Install following necessary PHP extensions:

    # yum install php-mysql php-json php-xml php-mbstring php-zip php-gd curl php-curl php-pdo

### Setting up database for ownCloud ###

Let us create a database called ‘ownclouddb’ and database user ‘ownclouduser’ with passwor ‘centos’.

    # mysql -u root -p
    Enter password: 
    Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MariaDB connection id is 66
    Server version: 5.5.34-MariaDB MariaDB Server

    Copyright (c) 2000, 2013, Oracle, Monty Program Ab and others.

    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

    MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE ownclouddb;
    Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)

    MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON ownclouddb.* TO ownclouduser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'centos';
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

    MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

    MariaDB [(none)]> exit
    Bye

### Getting owncloud ###

Goto to Apache root document folder and download the latest version of owncloud.

    # wget http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-6.0.0a.tar.bz2

Extract the tar package using command:

Move the extracted folder to your apache root folder (i.e /var/www/html/)

    # mv owncloud/ /var/www/html/

Set the ownership and permissions to the following folders:

    # chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/owncloud/
    # chmod 777 /var/www/html/owncloud/config/

Enable apache rewrite mode.

Edit file “**/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf**”,

    # vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
