Owncloud... ssl handshake fail. Anyone help?

[Shadow_Storm56]

So after listening to linus talk about owncloud I decided to start using it.  Install went fine and I can connect to it through a browser easy. But all the clients give me the same ssl handshake failed issue. Looked on Google...not much help there. It is installed on the newest version of Ubuntu.  If anyone knows this software please help.

Can I suggest you ask the question in their dedicated forums?.  it's probably a better way to solve your issue as I'm sure many users will have had the same problem as you. + you'll more than likely get a far faster answer

Well, do you have SSL certs generated? What's the virtual host config like? Have you enabled the apache ssl module (presuming you're running apache) ?

On Ubuntu, you can check with

ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

And if you don't see a link to ssl.conf in that directory, enable it with

a2enmod ssl

Also, you should have gone with Nextcloud instead. It's a fork of Owncloud done by the bulk of the former Owncloud team.

OH, you're running it on a non-standard port. So you CAN get a secure connection with a browser?

Then, during the client configuration, when entering the server address, did you tack on the non standard port like https://yourserveraddress:yourport ?

Or did you not configure ssl at all?

Owncloud clients assume SSL. So if you don't have it set up, you have to explicitly enter http://yourserveraddress in the server address field when configuring a client.

I  run just http. I figured it out.

Next cloud eh ? Hmm. Well owncloud works but not too well for lathe file syncs

The reason why its not working is cause your CA (certificate authority) is not valid and is self sign so your ssl handshake will fail and yes make sure that your apache2 ssl mod is enable and restart your apache2 service 

 

a2enmod ssl 

a2ensite ssl-default

service apache2 restart

I just ran it without ssl. Works fine. Don't think there's any issues

[ssfdre38]

then its your CA that isnt valid as it is self sign. i use https://www.startssl.com/ and it is free for one year and will give you keys and ca keys

Without SSL then everybody between you and your owncloud can see in great detail what you're doing with owncloud. So just keep it in mind if you start planning on sharing stuff with friends.
