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:

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/.
