Hello, I’m amazed with DietPi, it works so good!  
I’ve installed a lot of nice software, just with the “DietPi-Software”, so easy and quick, I love it!

But I have had a trouble with OwnCloud installation, I think because of my ignorance, maybe someone can help me 😃

I have connected from “the outside”, with my Mac using NOIP domain 😃 and not from local network (I was not at home at that very moment).  
I’ve created root user and a password, and then I clicked something wrong (maybe “Login”), not the “finishing the installation” button (I don’t know if this is the english name of the button, my installation is spanish), so I went into there and couldn’t configure what needed, as you can see in the Fourdee guide, [https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/1](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-software-details-for-all-installation-options/22/1)  
that says…

The first time you connect:

- Create your Admin account, type in a username and password (I just could do THIS)  
FROM HERE, NOTHING DONE ,YET.
- Click Storage & Database or Advanced to expand the submenu.
- Database type = MySQL
- DataFolder = /var/lib/owncloud/data
- Database User = root
- Database Password = raspberry
- Database Name = owncloud
- Click Finish setup to complete the Owncloud setup

Do you know how I can create the database and so on? I don’t know if the wizard can be opened from somewhere, or how to do it manually,

Thank you very much,

Hi SkyFly,

**The simplest way to return to the initial setup would be to reinstall owncloud. Run the following:**

```nohighlight
dietpi-uninstall OWNCLOUD
rm -R /var/www/owncloud

```

**Then run dietpi-software and reselect Owncloud for installation:**

```nohighlight
dietpi-software

```

There is proabably another method to resetting Owncloud back to its initital state, however, I’ve not tested it.: [http://forums.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/3283-ownCloud-wrong-configured-can-I-reinstall/?postID=25250#post25250](http://forums.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/3283-ownCloud-wrong-configured-can-I-reinstall/?postID=25250#post25250)

Thank you very much, Fourdee.

I’ve done what you said, unistalling and re-installing it, it worked perfectly!

Thanks again, I love DietPI 😃
