Owncloud on cPanel server

To install Owncloud:

create a seperate subdomain cpanel user (your preference)

wget http://download.owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-4.0.4.tar.bz2
tar -xjf path/to/downloaded/owncloud-x.x.x.tar.bz2
cp -r /path/to/owncloud/* /home/user/public_html
chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/your/owncloud/install/data

Note: data folder will not be created until initial setup has been run
Go to http://owncloud.yourwebsite.com or http://yourwebsite/owncloud

my initial setup page said:

PHP module GD is not installed.
PHP PDO module is not installed.

run ea to install these php5 modules

refresh install page and setup admin user/pw
