Hello all.

I have a frustrating issue. For unrelated issues, a while back I needed to 
rebuild my server from scratch. I was storing my owncloud data in a mysql 
database, and when I rebuilt, (for again unrelated issues) I needed to use 
postgresql. I used the mysql2psql Ruby gem to convert the Owncloud database to 
Postgresql, then ran the resulting dump to restore the owncloud database. I 
initially did this restore as the postgres user, so all of the tables etc. were 
owned by postgres.

I then installed owncloud 5.0.7 (before the restore I was running 4.8.1, so my 
database was 4.8.1). When I visited my newly restored/updated Owncloud, it went 
through the update process for the database. It only made it a little way 
before it failed, since the database tables weren't owned by the owncloud 
database user. I realized the problem, dropped the table, and re-imported the 
database dump as the owncloud user. At that point, the upgrade succeeded and 
all my stuff was back. Yay!

That was several days ago. Owncloud calendar and contacts were working 
perfectly, and only now did I try to start syncing again. It wasn't working 
with the sync client (something about 'csync not connecting via proxy' or some 
such error), so I looked at the admin log, where I found several errors about 
violating a database constraint (unfortunately I don't remember the exact 
error... "id already exists" or some such thing). I googled the error and came 
upon this: https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/2096 . That made me think that 
my first failed attempt at updating (when all the tables were owned by 
postgres) threw off my subsequent successful update, and I decided to try it 
again. So I dropped my postgresql table and went through the import process 
again.

However, now owncloud isn't attempting the update. When I visit the URL, I get 
the plain old login page. When I login, all I get is a blank white page. The 
apache2 error log doesn't show anything other than a missing favicon, which 
it's always complained about (if I remember correctly).

What did I do wrong? How can I get my stuff back? My files are all safe, so I 
could technically restore from scratch, but I really need my calendar and 
contacts back, too.

Please help! Thank you very much.

Kyle
