Issue
I am trying to install Owncloud on my VPS and I had issues with the migration from version 8 to version 9. So I decided to apt-get purge owncloud && apt-get install owncloud to get a fresh installation.
The bad news is my configuration is still there, somewhere. I have absolutely no idea what is installed with apt-get install and, more important, where.
If I have this information I can figure out where is my config and how to reconfigure Apache to point to my new owncloud installation.
EDIT
My current issue is that I have absolutely no idea where the wwwroot is installed. I have nothing inside /var/www neither in /usr/share/. Knowing what was installed using apt-get might be very useful...
Solution
owncloud is a big package with a lot of different things.
You should have:
- An apache configuration file in
/etc/apache2/sites-available(probably named owncloud.conf) - A table in a database. This is up to how you configured owncloud the first time. The config of your owncloud is in that table.
- The files of owncloud itself. If you
removed it probably they are gone.
For the database:
If you have MySQL, do
sudo mysql -u root -p
to connecto to the database, then do
SHOW DATABASES;
check if you have a database that is named similar to owncloud, and then drop it:
DROP DATABASE databaseName;
In this way your configuration should be gone.
If you have PostgreSQL, the procedure is similar, but with different commands:
sudo -u postgres psql
\l
DROP DATABASE databaseName;
