Sorry to keep on about this - but I googled and I still find no clear instructions on how to install a zip file and I'm reluctant to try (just unzipping in the apps directory) on a production system. I realise Owncloud is still a young project, but Joomla makes this really easy. As safe as that approach sounds, I saw recently a thread about different installation directory and so without a little more information I'm not willing to play around (especially since it's an auth module and installing it wrongly could pose a security risk). Any advice? Thanks.
