Only Office not working

🚧 Installation
#1

Hi everyone.
Well, I’m a pretty beginner on things like this, I’m trying to set up my nextcloud along with onlyoffice for the first time, following this tutorial: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/17/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#example-installation-on-centos-7-server.
I followed the steps, I do have access to my nextcloud interface, I’ve already downloaded the apps of the community server and onlyoffice app from the nextcloud’s “app store”, but when I manage to create a new document, it simply does not appear the onlyoffice thing to be chosen. Someone could help me? I’m already 4 days in a row trying to solve this, and no clue what m’i doing wrong.
I’m also reaching the message error from the attached image.

ps: I’m also not an expert on apache and PHP either so I’m a completely newbie.
Thanks for your time.

Only Office needs lots of work. I am able to access a document in it but It doesn’t save the file. But try looking at the logs and see what errors appear when trying to open a document.

If you don’t mind trying a standalone OnlyOffice installation - have a look here


It does not have the “amnesia” problem with saving edited files.

I have one such instance serve 3 NC servers without issues…

okay, i’m traying a completely fresh install on 20.04 right now, if it comes to the same, i’ll give a shot on what you’ve suggested, thank your very much for your time.

#5

well, it seams i’ll have to try what you’ve suggested. i’ll come later with news.
Thanks

#6

well, since nothing have worked, and i don’t have the intelligence necessary to make it work, i’m just giving up. thanks for those who helped.

#7

without almost any information on your setup, instance and environment anyone would be able to help you… even if they wanted to, i’m afraid.

#8

That was fast…
If compiling from source is what confuses you, download the ready server from here…

i just think that a typical homeuser wouldn’t neccessarily need a selfcompiled onlyoffice just for the sake of bypassing built-in limits which he most prolly wouldn’t ever exceed.
suggesting a nice-to-have thing to a

is way over the top. nicely meant by you and all other here but way too much for a rookie.

further on we don’t really know anything about his instance. between the lines we could guess that he might be running a nc17 instance. but that’s not even a given.

so to keep it simple it would be better for him to upgrade to nc 18 and then run built-in community only office server.

@Glauber_Schwaab after you setup a fresh ubuntu do the following do the following.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud/nextcloud-reloaded/prepare_system.sh | /bin/bash 

git clone --branch nextcloud-reloaded https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud

# change to nextcloud directory
cd nextcloud

# edit variables 
# just change this three:
#
# nextcloud_fqdn          = nextcloud.toplevel.domain
# nextcloud_certificate_type  = 'acme.sh' 
# install_onlyoffice          = true

vim inventory

# run the playbook
./nextcloud.yml

you should get a running nextcloud/onlyoffice system.

than you have a reference system with all needed settings.

that could be a problem in the future if you want to update or something broke.

you may find carsten’s page https://c-rieger.de/ helpful since he wrote some very good how to. my playbooks are based on them.

Well, after all last replyings i got a little bit motivated to begin and try again, it is not actually that i’m a home user and i need a self compiled NC or not, i’m studying to be a sysadmin, so i’m looking for all knowledge as possible, and i’m the one that is not happy just making it work, i must know, how i’m doing it, how it is working and why is it working. Btw i’ll start over, and if i face some problems, i’ll come back with more detailed information.
Really appreciate your answers.
