Anyone on here managed to get owncloud working on Windows Home Server?

I've kind of got it going but am running into all types of permissions problems (and some other stuff) but most of the support seems to be for Linux.

theres an owncloud!?!?

I have Windows Home Server!

Owncloud is an extra program, a dropbox replacement. http://owncloud.org/

Don't you have Windows Home Server and a HP Proliant? I've been running that fine for a couple of years.

Just. Don't.

Proliant and WinHS - yup

Speak to JB, he's top IT. Can install adobe reader

Can he install java without the ask toolbar crapware?

whoah there thats 4th line stuff

he can but you'll have to have realplayer as your default media player

Fuck. I just googled Real Player and it still exists. Christ.

Eurgh. That and WinAmp can both fuck off forever.

Winamp 2 was great.

i loved winamp

everything was winamp

Winamp was awesome, unless you had a massive archive of music, then it would insist on indexing every file on start up and would just hang until complete

The cheap as chips but just as good one?

Depends on what your printing, PDF's or lots of images/ large images will take a while.

If not check you've not got the printer plugged into a USB1.0 port or something. Driver might help too

Network settings (guessing printer details via Windows is a contender for this kind of rubbish... see if you can put the IP address in).

Or the type of thing you're printing (large docs full of large images, i.e. some crappy PDFs vs text based documents that are streamed to the printer).

Thanks, guys, the problem is that it used to be installed to work perfectly, but then I reinstalled the system and I must have got something wrong there. I can't seem to find anywhere to put an IP address in. I seem to have improved something at least while fiddling around just now, as it just printed a lot of pages without the long pauses between pages, but it's still not right. I've tried reinstalling the printer several times, too, and that hasn't worked, either. I think I'll just have to keep trying out different things.

This might be a silly question, but is it actually a network printer? If it's local (i.e. USB) there won't be any settings for an IP address cos it won't need one.

I still use Winamp 3 at work. I have no massive archive of music.

Proliant and WinHS - yup

I've installed it a few times (replaced my HDD with SSD) and remember it being very straight forward to get up and running and very stable (mine's always on). What's the problem with it?

Fucker won't let me log onto the interwebz

Can you not connect at all or is just Internet Explorer not working? The version of IE on WHS is really locked down and not designed for web browsing.
