Verification

This section describes different verification checks that ownCloud may perform.

Parameter Format Description
Update Checker “updatechecker” => true, Provides information as to whether there is a new release of ownCloud available. When enabled, default, a banner will appear on the admin’s web interface when a newer version of ownCloud exists.
Has Internet Connection “has_internet_connection” => true, Alerts ownCloud if there is an internet connection (true – default). If set to false, ownCloud will not be able to look for updates, display the knowledgebase, or bring up the appstore.
Working WebDAV “check_for_working_webdav” => true, Allows ownCloud to verify a working WebDAV connection. This is done by attempting to make a WebDAV request from PHP.
Working .htaccess “check_for_working_htaccess” => true, Verifies whether the .htaccess file may be modified by ownCloud. If set to false, this check will not be performed. If the file cannot be modified, items such as large file uploads cannot be performed. This check only affects Apache servers.
