Changing Your ownCloud URL¶
This admin manual assumes that the ownCloud server is already accessible under the route /owncloud (which is the default, e.g. https://example.com/owncloud).
If you like, you can change this in your web server configuration, for example by changing it from https://example.com/owncloud/ to https://example.com/.
To do so on Debian/Ubuntu Linux, you need to edit these files:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf/var/www/owncloud/config/config.php
Edit the Alias directive 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/',
When the changes have been made and the file saved, restart Apache.
Now you can access ownCloud from either https://example.com/ or https://localhost/.
Note
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.
