[Owncloud] Moving the Data and Config Directories

ownCloud updates don't 'trash' your data and configuration. That wouldn't be 
much of an update if it did. Your data and config folders aren't touched by 
installing a new version.

Check config/config.sample.php for the configuration options. You can move the 
data directory with the datadirectory key. You can't move the config.php 
location without modifying the core.
