Desktop client cannot find owncloud/status.php?

My linux desktop client cannot connect to a NextCloud server behind a nginx proxy. But when I sign it via the webpage it works perfectly.

The client works fine if I try to login into the server’s IP/domain directly but the client throws this error when trying to connect over the proxied domain.

The NextCloud folder on my server has been renamed to “files.”

There is a status.php in the NextCloud server’s directory but no owncloud/status.php.

Why is the desktop client trying to look into an OwnCloud subdirectory on the server? And why is it only doing it when accessing through the proxied domain?

I haven’t found a solution to it yet.

My work-around for now is a custom entry in my hosts file.

Hi, I don’t really know why, but it started to work for me again. :thinking:

Same problem here…
Server version 11.0.2 (docker), client 2.2.4 on Win10
Any news on the issue?
Thanks

hi there. same problem.
I solved it with this workaround.

  • create symbolic link between owncloud and netxcloud
    sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/owncloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/owncloud.conf
  • create “owncloud.conf” in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
    sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/
  • copy this text inside “owncloud.conf”

Alias /owncloud “/var/www/owncloud/”

<Directory /var/www/owncloud/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All

Dav off

SetEnv HOME /var/www/owncloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/owncloud
Satisfy Any

restart server
sudo service apache2 restart

hope it helps !

hi there

faced same problem, you can do it like @txsastre showed it or you can just type in the full url:

http(s)://localhost/status.php or http(s)://localhost/nextcloud/status.php

depending on the installation.
