Apache RewriteBase: argument is not a valid URL failure (NC 21.0.3; subdirectory in URL)

I have a strange error using the Nextcloud Apache Docker image with v21.0.3 of Nextcloud and an installation in a subdirectory.

The older version i.e. <v21.0.3 worked, strangely.

The problem

Based on that I see it is this build:
https://hub.docker.com/layers/nextcloud/library/nextcloud/21-apache/images/sha256-e12a68ff2c6a61457c0d946bc03694cfc5299678cb9acc0c1d384adbb454b54b?context=explore

Every other build before worked fine.

More information

occ status works fine:

 - installed: true
  - version: 21.0.3.1
  - versionstring: 21.0.3
  - edition: 

Nextcloud release v21.0.3 was just a maintainance release, so I doubt it is the cause: Nextcloud server changelog

$ podman --version
podman version 3.2.0

x86_64

I found Error 500 - "RewriteBase: argument is not a valid URL" · Issue #1576 · nextcloud/server · GitHub but that pointed to 404 links and did not help.

Also AFAIK I did not manually configure that file. I have no idea why RewriteBase is set incorrectly there…

Solving the first error

The error lies within this .htaccess part:

RewriteBase https://***:port/subdir/

It should be this instead:

RewriteBase /subdir

When changed manually, it works.

Something in the container/startup scripts or whatever, seems to have improperly written this…

Still redirect errors…

But even if that is fixed, I get some strange internal redirect errors when accessing /login/v2/flow/ stuff:

[Sat Jul 03 09:54:04.002837 2021] [core:error] [pid 2059] [client 10.0.2.100:39262] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Part of config.php:

$CONFIG = array (
  'htaccess.RewriteBase' => 'https://****:port/subdir/',
  […]
  'overwritehost' => '****:port',
  'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',
  'overwritewebroot' => '/subdir',

This looks all unchanged and not as if it was a problem…

Also getting errors from the encryption module, though I’m not sure whether that is related:

I checked that the data directory is accessible from inside the container:

$ cd /var/[…] # (the dir set in the config.php as datadirectory)
$ ls -la
total 14760

Cross-posted from the Nextcloud Docker issue I’ve opened.
If anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated. I do have a reverse proxy in front of my Nextcloud installation.

Part of config.php:

$CONFIG = array (
  'htaccess.RewriteBase' => 'https://****:port/subdir/',
  […]
  'overwritehost' => '****:port',
  'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',
  'overwritewebroot' => '/subdir',

This looks all unchanged and not as if it was a problem…

The cause of your issue was that you have your htaccess.RewriteBase in your NC config.php set to the above. It should only include the /subdir part.

The .htaccess gets populated based on the contents of this parameter, either when manually running occ maintenance:update:htaccess and IIRC during upgrades.

See here for details:

None of the above are Docker specific things. These are upstream behaviors in NC server.

Same goes for:

OC\ForbiddenException: This request is not allowed to access the filesystem at lib/private/Lockdown/Filesystem/NullStorage.php

I believe the main trigger for that is if you provision a user or app password and uncheck “Allow filesystem access”. (Under your Personal->Security->Devices & sessions and the three-dots menu of the entry in question).

P.S. Not sure why this post was tagged “onlyoffice” and placed in “Features & apps” - that may explain part of why it wasn’t responded to by anyone. I’ll move it now.

Thanks a lot anyway for commenting. Maybe/hopefully it helps someone else.

AFAIK I just switched Docker images as a solution or so, but thanks for letting me know.
