Hi,
TL;DR version:
- Copying extraced files over an existing installation works fine, only a small
'issue' about failing to copy config/config.sample.php
- Extracting the tarball into your owncloud install directory FUCKS EVERYTHING
UP (pardon my language): permissions are all wrong, config dir gets overridden
resulting in a setup screen with the next page request!
Now the LONG (and detailed) version. It's especially long due to directory
listings.
This morning I downloaded 'owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-daily-
stable45.tar.bz2' after reading Frank's mail about it (and 4.5 wasn't announced
on owncloud.org yet) and extracted that in my home folder.
Then I upgraded (or should I say updated?) my 4.5 beta4 by *copying* the
owncloud folder to the location my webserver (apache2) finds it
(/opt/web/apps/owncloud) and I got a msg that config/config.sample.php failed, but
other then that it worked fine, keeping my links and permission settings intact.
Since I'd customized the security setting, here's the directory listing of it:
# ls -l owncloud/

Since I wanted to report some issues, I wanted to make sure I had the released
4.5 version even though I was pretty sure I had it already and Settings -> Admin
also reported it as such.
The 4.5 release was now announced on owncloud.org so I downloaded
http://mirrors.owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-4.5.0.tar.bz2 and extracted that
(tar -xjf owncloud-4.5.0.tar.bz2) over my existing installation (so the update
procedure, the upgrade procedure will follow next).
Here's the directory listing after that:
# ls -l owncloud

Notice how the ownership changed to nobody:nogroup and that my config folder got
overridden and now only contains 'config.sample.php' so the next page request
resulted in a setup screen. Of course I didn't run that since it may fuck up my
data directory too.
So I was wondering if I should've followed the upgrade procedure and tried that
(I don't have 3rd party apps installed/enabled).
Since I had to delete everything exect data and config anyway (and those are
symlinks in my setup), I created a new owncloud directory, symlinked the config
and data directory in there and then extracted the tarball:
# mkdir owncloud
# ls -l

Notice how once again all permissions are nobody:nogroup and that my config
directory got overridden again, so no update procedure will run, but you get
presented with the setup screen.
To put it *VERY* mildly: this is not nice!
My advice: remove the "Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory"
from the update and upgrade procedure ASAP and replace it my extracting it in a
temp directory and then *copy* the file/directories into your owncloud
installation directory over your existing installation (ie remove step 4) if you
don't want to change all ownership/permissions again.
HTH (someone else),
