Re: ownCloud alternatives

Hi Dave,

I appreciate the quick reply! Sorry it took me so long to respond.

So I've been wanting to switch to ownCloud (or similar) from Dropbox
to save a few bucks (and the fact my computer is on all the time
anyway).

I tried using this guide -
http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/build-your-own-cloud

I couldn't get the repository added via the instructions at -
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:community&package=owncloud

So I downloaded version 5.0.4 from Ubuntu Software Centre and tried to
use that. I got a bit confused with Step 02 as I assume its for a
tarball rather than the apt so moved on to Step 03.

At Step 04, it indicates I need to go to : http://localhost/ludcloud
to complete the installation. However, I get 404'd when I try that
link. Have I skipped something crucial or is it a typo?

Cheers,
Jared
