I will give that a try with a copy of that instance these days, thanks. However I am a bit puzzled by this out of two reasons: 1. I do not recall any such issues with past upgrades, the instance worked flawless. And indeed I deny generally write access to the owncloud files for obvious security reasons, except for the log and the data files, the apps folder and the config file (both temporary). 2. if this is the cause of the issue, that would mean that the upgrade process does not check permission prior to starting, then tries to and fails to write the file and finally simply silently continues without any notice, warning or error resulting in an unusable system? So again many outstanding security features got added, but such basic thing as a simple error checking for writing a simple file is not implemented?
