[Owncloud] ownCloud 1.0 installation problem

[Paul Nokel]

Hi,
same problem here. After clicking "Save" in the configuration wizard a
user called "owncloud" exists in the database with "ALL PRIVILEGES" on
the db "owncloud" (exists).
But there is no data in this db.
Also the default setting for hosts to connect from is "%". What I think
is quite subotpimal.
I used this workaround:
1.) Clean up the database if you already run the installation script:
delete the user "owncloud" and the database "owncloud"
2.) Create a user "owncloud" on the host "localhost" (if your database
is not on an other host) and grant him all privilegues to the database
"owncloud"
3.) Now on Commandline: cd /var/www/owncloud/docs && mysql -u owncloud
-p owncloud < owncloud.sql
4.) Run the install wizard of owncloud
5.) Fill the fields as defined before
5.) Uncheck "create database and user:" and "automaticly fill initial
database:"
6.) Click save and everything will be fine :)

Greetings,
Paul
