[Owncloud] Installation instructions: permissions for the data directory

[Gene]

All,

  Step three of the install instructions (owncloud.org/install/) for FTP
states to set permissions on the data directory to 750.  This does not work
on servers where the web service isn't using the same UID as the user or
something like suPHP is not in place.

  I recommend changing the installation instructions to state something like
the following:

###

3. Give rights to the web server

* Using an FTP client: create a directory named "data".  Set the "data" and
"config" directory's permissions to 750. If you get an error about
permissions while trying to install or while trying to upload use 770
instead.  If that still doesn't work try 777.

###

  A disclaimer about security problems when using mode 777 can be added as
well.

  This will allow users to use ownCloud on shared hosting servers that do
not utilise suEXEC or suPHP.
