[Owncloud] endless 4.5.3 setup loop (was:upgrade from 4.0.7 to 4.5.3 without config files?)

[Ditmar Unger]

Hi,

(Thanks Michael; before importing the saved old db tables ) I tried to install 
a fresh 4.5.3 oc but the mysql db never gets populated and oc loops for the 
initial setup page.
I deleted all users, files and the db via phpmyadmin and started from scratch 
(apt.get install owncloud) but no success at all.
Any hints for that?

Regards,
Ditmar.
