Installing NextCloud

Post by Daniel Wee »

We are NOT using ngix as the webserver, but apache2 - do NOT follow instructions that lead to installation of ngix because it will end up conflicting over the same port.

You will need to install mcrypt for php at some point:-

(note: latest version of mcrypt is 1.0.2 at the time of this entry. Article suggests 1.0.1 which does not work with PHP 7.3.3)

For Nextcloud, follow instructions here:-

https://websiteforstudents.com/setup-ne ... 1-support/

Note that we are NOT using MariaDB but MySQL. Apart from that, the instructions should be roughly the same.

When the install calls for php7.1 modules - change them to 7.2 (or whichever version the server is using), but remove the mcrypt line as it will error out and nothing will install.
