Just went through the installation as described on mga5 using owncloud-8.0.3-1.mga5 and there are some notes
- packages suggested to be installed
add php-fileinfo - if this package is missing, owncloud will complain when you do its configuration
- make sure that mysqld is running: after having installed mysql (MariaDB) and before accessing mysqladmin or mysql, you need to start the mysql daemon:
systemctl start mysqld (or reboot)
- mysqladmin a_password => should be mysqladmin password - it does not state anywhere that webserver might need to be started, so please add for good measure:
systemctl status httpd.service systemctl start httpd.service systemctl status httpd.service
- mkdir /mnt/owncloud/data needs the -p option since a directory + its parent is created:
mkdir -k /mnt/owncloud/data
- before first login during the setup, the following warning is shown:
Configure the database Only SQLite is available..  Performance warning SQLite will be used as database. For larger installations we recommend to choose a different database backend. Especially when using the desktop client for file syncing the use of SQLite is discouraged.
Did not find anything about owncloud in the logs, so no clue why it only recognises sqlite.

Did the same exercise just now, added a couple of additional items that popped up while I went through the installation of owncloud - did not want to mess up the original wiki-page with comments made one-at-a-time. I hope you dont mind.

Thanks, fixed mkdir -p and php-fileinfo.
The starting of apache and mariadb seem to be automatic, current wiki page works on current Mageia, no?
Sorry guys for not reading this page before!.

Thanks Yurchor for the typo and grammar fixes.
@All: I have no OC/NC installed since a while, so it would be good if later edits was checked by some more eyes and experience, especially:
Do the steps for NC12 seem OK? - especially point 5 & 6.x under 'PROCEDURE' at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/OwnCloud#Upgrading
And https://wiki.mageia.org/en/OwnCloud#-.3E_Nextcloud_13 is just translated to "mageian" (i hope) from the referenced link.
