Hi,

I finished a small script that I wanted to do for a long long time.
It´s an alternative way to install ownCloud on a webspace.

It´s a single php file that you have to upload to your webspace. It checks the 
dependencies, download the newest ownCloud from the official server, unpacks it 
with the right permissions and the right user account, redirects to the 
ownCloud installer and deletes itself afterwards.

The benefit is that this should be easier for unexperienced users because you 
don´t have to manually unpack the owncloud tar and upload to the server. You 
also don´t have to fix the folder permissions manually because the script can 
do this automatically. Another benefit is that the files belong to the 
webserver user so that ownCloud can update itself later automatically as soon 
as we have this functionality implemented. ;-)

The file is located here:
https://gitorious.org/owncloud/administration/trees/master/web-installer

Testing and feedback needed :-)


Frank
