  • Who should be the owner of my /var/www/html/owncloud directory? By default it is root because I have to unzip as root in this directory.
  • Should I change the owner of this directory to www-data then?
  • Should I do it recursively?

I understand that the ownCloud data directory (which is located at /home/<username>/owncloud-data) has to have www-data as owner so the Apache server is able to write to that directory.

Same question applies to WordPress and MantisBT for example.

Owncloud provides comprehensive settings for 'strict' permissions in its administration manual. Check here: OC Manual Other settings might be possible. Please keep in mind that with strict settings, auto update does not work.
