Installing/enabling Collabora Online

ā„¹ļø Support šŸ“„ Collabora
1

Hi everyone,

After I discovered Nextcloud yesterday, I was happy as a child to install it. Everything seems to be working fine after installation except Collabora Online.

I keep getting the error ā€œCould not establish connection to the Collabora Online server.ā€ without any explanation why, and the system logs keeps spamming ā€œError PHP Module ā€˜sqlite3ā€™ already loaded at Unknown#0ā€.

I donā€™t if that is the cause and if so, how do I fix it? I tried the option ā€˜Use your own serverā€™ and didnā€™t work eitherā€¦

And I canā€™t find my fix on Google eitherā€¦

Nextcloud is running on;
Linux 3.10.0-962.3.2.lve1.5.24.7.el7.x86_64 x86_64
with CPanel
PHP 7.4

Version: 7.4.9
Memory Limit: 4 GB
Max Execution Time: 3600
Upload max size: 1 GB

Type: sqlite3
Version: 3.26.0
Size: 1,7 MB

Do you have a Document Server installed from the APPS?
Have you tried a DEMO server connection ?

for your sqlite3 error check /etc/php/7.n/apache2/conf.d/nn-sqlite3.ini
where n are numbers

and change
extension=sqlite3.so
to
; extension=sqlite3.so

I will look into that sqlite3 error. I ended up using ONLYOFFICE, because Iā€™m spending too much time on fixing the errors of Collabora.

The demo server connection of Collabora works fine, it doesnā€™t allow me to select the first option and second one. When I use the first option ā€˜Use your own serverā€™ it hops back to the second one ā€˜BUILT-INā€™.

And all it says is ā€˜Could not establish connection to the Collabora Online server.ā€™.
I think Collabora needs to work on specifying errors so I users know where to lookā€¦

ONLYOFFICE looks fine and I think I will keep this one instead.
