The .htaccess file works with owncloud is installed as

	owncloud.example.com

but not when installed like in a subdir of htdocs like

       owncloud.example.com/whatever


At least my Ipod touch needed those changes in 4.0.? 
E.g.,  when installed in  http://example.com/~allee/

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
