OTA gives a menu with option "Open in 'App Store' ", but does not install OTA from OwnCloud

I have read Apple Ad hoc and Enterprise distribution documents. I referenced StackOverFlow posting wireless iphone app distribution - problem with itms-services protocol . I am using OwnCloud as server to distribute Ad hoc iOS 7.1 apps. When I download the Index.html with 

<a href = “itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://owncloud-myserver.net/mydirectory/myplist.plist”> Install iOS app</a>

I get a action sheet menu that shows the above URL and options to 'Open in “AppStore”, copy or cancel.

OwnCloud is running on an Apache server so I have updated the Mime types as suggested in StackOverFlow posting

Ad-hoc distribution fail

When I click the option “Open inApp Store”, nothing happens and app does not install.

What prompts should I receive if install would run as expected? Any suggestions to help trouble-shoot this issue are appreciated.

Updated with key contents from my plist

<key>url</key>
      <string>https://owncloud-myserver.net/index.php/apps/files?dir=/mydirectory/myAdApp.ipa</string>

The problem was Owncloud URL was going to logon page. For OTA to work on SSl [https] website...web page URL must be direct without logon layer first.

We've had similar problems when old versions of the application, signed with outdated provisioning profiles, were still on the device. Manually deleting the application and/or profiles seems to fix it.
