What steps do i need to take to access it by hostname?

If you're using apache (I will assume you are) you need to edit your virtualhost:80 and virtualhost:443 to have the ServerName be owncloud.mycompany.com.

where are these files?

I have httpd.conf opened and am searching it for virtualhost:80 and virtualhost:443 but I dont see these directives. Do I have to add them first?

Just to be clear, for your MSP process, it's not a traditional MSP that you want but a consultant. You want someone who will oversee your processes, not just someone who can outsource desktop work.

Thats what we are using

If you were to be audited for this, a good auditor would use the term "professional negligence." That means an error so large that puts the business at risk and so inappropriate that a judge would consider lifting employee protections so that the company can prosecute criminal action against the person who did it. This is a level of security blunder so great that your boss has the responsibility to go to management and tell them that he's not qualified to be doing what he is doing and is in over his head to a point where he is a danger to the business. Not doing so puts him in deep legal hot water.

Damn....... !!! Scott's ripping on someone

I think @JaredBusch said it appropriately in the last thread. @alex-olynyk and their boss need to get an MSP or someone in to fix this mess before it does any serious harm, if it hasn't already, to the company.

they are doing this now

and add that name to trusted domains?

First, set ownCloud to send out hostnames. It needs to be configured with a name, not an IP address. So something like owncloud.mycompany.com for example. (We used oc.ntg.co since we are ntg.co and we like short names.)

so rename the centos box to something like owncloud.mycompanyname.com?

Are you trying to reference the ownCloud by IP or by hostname?

IP

Well that's your problem. You can't do that. Fix that first THEN let's work on getting things working as needed. You don't give users IP addresses, that's nuts. Your BOSS thinks this is okay? And he's so dedicated to it that he is using it as an excuse to bypass the FIREWALL?

Yes

I'm assuming that you do not have a DMZ?

All internet goes through Windstream so I dont think so

That's not relevant, a DMZ is on your side of the Internet.

I have a DMZ port on the SonicWALL

There is a SonicWall? Where did this come into the conversation?

We have a SonicWALL but it only does VPNs

We mentioned previously that you need to configure ownCloud to use the hostname in those shared links. That won't help for external communication but as long as you have the DNS A record pointing to the ownCloud server you won't have an issue internally. You probably have to configure this in the apache file. What you want to do can't be done externally to the ownCloud server. Until you configure this any link you attempt to send out will always have the IP address instead of the hostname.

We dont have a unified domain yet. Its all broken up

@scottalanmiller My boss wants one address for both internal and external

Why would he inject a technical opinion in that way? What if the solution is to have different addresses? What he "wants" is not a business goal, why would he "want" something like that?

He doesnt want to be bothered teaching anyone how to use it

@scottalanmiller said:

So first issue is... Windstream. The absolute worst ISP ever. So bad. They actually changed their name to hide their shame. They were Paetec in Rochester and were famous for being unable to get their own lines working. Drop them the moment you can. Hopefully you didn't get into any contracts with them.

Were in a contract. The boss is trying to move to Bright House

@scottalanmiller adtran netvanta 4430

@scottalanmiller Yes they are.

@scottalanmiller Correct

@scottalanmiller We are in the middle of a project to bring all centers under 1 domain. Currently all centers have a different domain.
