Changing Your ownCloud URLΒΆ

This admin manual assumes that the ownCloud server is already accessible under the Web route /owncloud, which is the default at installation, e.g. https://example.com/owncloud. You can change this in your Web server configuration, for example from https://example.com/owncloud/ to https://example.com/.

On Debian/Ubuntu Linux edit these files:

  • /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf
  • /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php

Edit the Alias in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf to alias your ownCloud directory to the Web server root:

Alias / "/var/www/owncloud/"

Edit the overwrite.cli.url parameter in /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php:

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://localhost/',

Restart Apache, and now you can access ownCloud from either https://example.com/ or https://localhost/. Note that you will not be able to run any other virtual hosts, as ownCloud is aliased to your Web root.

On CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat, edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/owncloud.conf and /var/www/html/owncloud/config/config.php, then restart Apache.
