Dropbox like Raspberry Pi Server

Sun Sep 17, 2017 6:57 pm

Hello, i am looking to make a dropbox like RPI Server, but i cannot find a proper tutorial for it or anything like it. I know there is ownCloud, but i want to implement my own design. I've already have an apache server running with the website, that i want to implement the server in. Can i change ownCloud's design or use something else similar to make like an FTP server inside an apache website? I would really love it, because i've been working on that website a lot and I've been loving. I wouldn't like to replace it with a downloaded website.

You have something called "WebDAV", I believe its the tech that ownCloud is based on.

Ok, I will try it out and is there anyone who used it or has a very good tutorial to help me out, because I'm kinda still a beginner at web development

I'm actually trying to install owncloud now and maybe try to change its design later, but i have a problem, i have raspbian and raspberry pi 1 b and a 16 gb sd card. i have installed almost everything including phpmyadmin, mysql etc. but i cannot install php7.0-fpm, it says that there were errors while installing php7.0-fpm but it looked like it installed it, so i didnt worry about it too much. after that i installed nginx and apache2. After that I tried to write a simple index.php program, but it said error 403 forbidden and i could get to fix it yet. I'm trying to, but my raspberry pi crashed(idk what happened) and if i try to run a command like ls or a sudo command it says: Illegal instruction and it has happened twice, i had to reinstall raspbian and now it happened again. if i reboot it, it never comes back on and i have to reinstall raspbian again. i have it connected with ethernet, but i dont think i should do anything bad. and i was following this tutorial to install it: https://www.stewright.me/2017/08/create ... -owncloud/ would love to get some help, because i had to reinstall raspbian 3 times now and same errors keep coming. I also tried to use a diffrent sd card, but that did not help.
