DeepDiver asked me if my issue was like http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-32, 
which made me check my /etc/owncloud/config.php, which had the following contents:
<?php
$CONFIG = array(
"datadirectory" => '/var/lib/owncloud/data',
"dbtype" => 'mysql',
"version" => '4.0.0',
"dbname" => 'owncloud',
"dbhost" => 'localhost',
"dbtableprefix" => 'oc_',
"dbuser" => 'owncloud',
"dbpassword" => '<dbpassword>',
);
?>

But my datadirectory is empty.
Logging in to mysql with "mysql -u owncloud -p'<password>' owncloud" and then at the mysql prompt 
"show databases;" showed the databases "information_schema" and "owncloud". Then I did "use 
owncloud;" and then "show tables", which returned "Empty set (0.00 sec)".
That doesn't look right ;-)

That's it for now. See you 'tomorrow'.
