On console

sudo su - apache2
cd $WEBROOT/owncloud
./occ upgrade

Error

Maintenance mode

If due to an error the application remains in maintenance mode after the installation, this can be overwritten by the parameter 'maintenance' in <root>/config/config.php. This must be set to false in order to disable maintenance mode.

Cannot create user

Source

  • Description:

When (trying) to create a new user, an error appears:

The username is already being used.
  • Solution:

    The usual cause for this is an enabled authentication app, like WEBDAV authentication. The point of conflict is the crossing of local and remote user accounts. As long as only local user accounts are being used, there is not need to have remote authentication apps being enabled. If local and remote accounts shall be mixed, disable the app, add the user and re-enable the app afterwards.
