More good news everyone.

I updated the new web based installer to download the latest ownCloud zip from our ssl server. This means that we are now protected against man in the middle attacks.

This will be a new and supported way to install ownCloud from now on. The benefits for users are:
You only have to upload one php file to your webserver to install ownCloud. No need to unzip it or understand what an archive is.
It automatically fixed the file permissions on the server so you donĀ“t need cli or unix know how and ownCloud can update itself because the files are owned by the webserver user.

So installing ownCloud should be super easy now for unexperienced users.

It can be downloaded from here:

Have fun.
