On our Bitnami Cloud EC2 server we installed the Bitnami application Owncloud hoping to sync files on our Windows PC with our Bitnami Cloud Server.
We used the instructions from: http://wiki.bitnami.org/Applications/BitNami_ownCloud
From the download page: http://bitnami.org/stack/owncloud we selected the Bitnami 'module' (!), as we already previously configured our server through the Bitnami Control Panel and as an 'after thought' discovered we wanted to install Owncloud.
Then we downloaded a Windows PC client from: http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ and installed this. Mac OS and Linux desktop clients are also available.
However we could not get the Windows PC client to sync with the Bitnami EC2 server ....
We can however connect to the server by surfing to: http://our-server-ip/owncloud and entering our username and password. In the next owncloud screen we could upload files from our PC to the server and also download files from the server. So owncloud is properly working on the server !
So why does the owncloud desktop client not sync with the Bitnami Cloud server ?
Read below how to solve the problem !
Good news: Android Mobile/Tablet App or Iphone/Ipad Apps are also available and we also got these working !!!
