Hmm,


that's a good point.
But what about the scenario that someone is installing and running ownCloud on 
a machine without having root access?
A admin provided config.php would always override a config.php in the owncloud 
directory. that is not good.

Or if you want to have several owncloud installations on the same machine? A 
normal user could run it from inside their normal homedirectory.
And even if I have root access then I´m not sure if I want to give the apache 
user write accesse to /etc/owncloud/config.php

I´m not sure what is the right way here.
