This now needs to be configured in your webserver: ownCloud Documentation Overview
If you don’t have access to your webserver see here for example:
Security & setup warnings on admin page
This page contains most pointers how to configure your environment:
The “Strict-Transport-Security” HTTP header is not configured
See: ownCloud Documentation Overview
Without access to your webserver config see here for example: apache - How to set HSTS header from .htaccess only on HTTPS - Stack Overflow
Various HTTP header not set
For Apache make sure that mod_headers as well as mod_env is loaded within your webserver. Then the headers are set by the shipped .htaccess.
When getting warnings about the missing HTTP headers even if those are set:
-
Apache: Check that your server config file (like /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf) doesn’t contain already set header like: Header always set X-Frame-Options DENY
-
nginx: Make sure you’re using this statement within your config: Add modHeadersAvailable true; to nginx config · Pull Request #1330 · owncloud-archive/documentation · GitHub

Finder on Mac OS X is read-only
WebDAV Locking was removed in oC 8.1.0 which is causing Finder on Mac OS X to mount the WebDAV as read-only. There is currently no workaround available. Please follow No more webdav file locking => read only with Mac OS X · Issue #17732 · owncloud/core · GitHub for updates.

Bugs and their workarounds
CalDAV / CardDAV sync stopped working after the upgrade
There is currently a bug in the contacts and calendar app which prevents the synchronization if the app are only enabled for a specific group.
“Installation is in transit between the old Encryption” even encryption isn’t enabled
If you had enabled the encryption app in the past but know don’t use it anymore see here how to solve this message: oC 8.1.0 "Installation is in transit between the old Encryption" even encryption wasn't enabled · Issue #17450 · owncloud/core · GitHub
Already Fixed or workaround in place
Contacts of birthdays not working anymore
Fixed with calendar 0.7.1 and contacts 0.4.0.1
You need to have at least version 0.7.1 of the calendar app and currently also this fix: https://github.com/owncloud/contacts/pull/970 until a new version of the contacts app was released.
Encryption migration fails
Try to disable the Trashbin / files_trashbin app: Can't migrate encryption keys from cli · Issue #16928 · owncloud/core · GitHub
App installation from appstore is failing or “No internet connection” is showing
It seems this could be also caused by either:
- A bug in curl / nss on CentOS/RHEL (Warning if wrong version is used will be introduced with oC 8.1.1/8.2)
- A bug within PHP
- A copied over config.sample.php to config.php with empty proxy settings in it
See Error: server is not connected to the internet message - but I am, or so I think ... · Issue #16255 · owncloud/core · GitHub for more info.
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Seems to be a bug in openssl according to Investigate php5-curl issues with SNI and redirects · Issue #17446 · owncloud/core · GitHub
Warning if wrong OpenSSL version is used will be introduced with oC 8.1.1/8.2
Also make sure you’re not missing the /config/ca-bundle.crt file in your installation directory.

Various issues with Samba/SMB
Fix is planned for oC 8.1.1: Double slash for SMB storage id for compatibility by PVince81 · Pull Request #17922 · owncloud/core · GitHub
[quote]It is not recommended to upgrade encryption-enabled systems from ownCloud Server 8.0
to version 8.1.0 as there is a chance the migration will break. We recommend to
migrate to the first bugfix release, ownCloud Server 8.1.1.[/quote]
If you already migrated and have a broken installation please see: Encryption: recover from a broken migration to ownCloud 8.1 · Issue #17574 · owncloud/core · GitHub
