I love OwnCloud, and am loathe to change it.

I got hit with upgrade problems about a year ago and swore that unless I absolutely needed to, that I should leave my installation intact.

I do want to upgrade, and really appreciate field reports like this.

I am sorry, but this is not.
After upgrading manually because the new version was not shown in the
update center, core applications where deactivated again. I found
contacts and calendar as experimental with a red label... these are core
features.
I experienced the same. But I failed to notice until users suddenly lost
all their contacts on their phones!! Good thing I have backups!

Activating calendar worked, contacts did not and just gave me some
unhelpfull failed message instead of telling me what went wrong. After
that no app was shown at all. Clicking activated, not activated or any
of the other sections gave "no applications found".
Relogging brought up the upgradescreen an maintenance mode again.
After that contacts installed fine but the "no applications found" game
began again.
I had to do this three times till all the apps where back.
I didn't nearly have it this bad. Yes, they were (and are) listed as
experimental and after I did the installation owncloud just hung till I
refreshed the page where it took me to the installation page. After that
they worked.

And then i saw contacts and calendar in the productivity section in the
same version marked as stable with an activate button, which gave a
"directory allready exist message". So i have an activated calendar and
not activated calendar app with the same version number.
Yup! Same here.

I get some installation messages about caching and security telling me
to install some more packages and alter sysconfig.
Isn´t this supposed to be throwable at any php hoster and be done with it?
I actually appreciated this. The advice it had given me was actually
useful. I tweaked a few settings to improve security and haven't had a
problem.

But never mind, just needed to tell.
Glad you did. I thought I had just done something to my install! I am
sorry that others had the same problem, but glad it isn't just me having
these issues.
