[Owncloud] Installation at UDmedia fails with .htaccess

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi,

a 500 error is sometimes triggered if you want to set a settings in the .htaccess that you are not allowed to override. So this can be caused by strict apache settings. More information should be in the apache error log.

I don´t suggest to remove the .htaccess completely. You should at least make sure that your data directory is not accessible from the browser. This would be a huge security problem.

The installation is only possible if I completely remove the .htaccess file in the owncloud root directory after setup, else I constantly get an 500 error. How does the .htaccess removal harm the overall installation? Is there a better workaround? Which other aspects should I take care of?
