Any help is appreciated.
I have tested this on official nextcloud demo and it works there, so it’s not a client/browser issue.

No real idea.

Perhaps you can dist-upgrade from Debian Stretch to Debian Buster.
Debian Stretch is supported until 2020 and with LTS until 2022.
With Debian Buster you get new versions e.g. php .

https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

You must dist-upgrade or reinstall in the next 2 years.
With dist-upgrade you can not dist-upgrade direct to Debian Bullseye.

Maybe there is something wrong with my apache configuration?

Currently, it looks like this:

# ************************************
# Vhost template in module puppetlabs-apache
# Managed by Puppet
# ************************************

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName cloud.simon-mueller.de

  ## Vhost docroot
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/nextcloud"

  ## Directories, there should at least be a declaration for /var/www/html/nextcloud

  <Directory "/var/www/html/nextcloud">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </Directory>

  ## Logging
  ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/cloud.simon-mueller.de ssl_error_ssl.log"
  ServerSignature Off
  CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/cloud.simon-mueller.de ssl_access_ssl.log" combined

  ## Header rules
  ## as per http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_headers.html#header
  Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
  Header always set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' data: https: ; frame-ancestors 'self' "
  Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
  Header always set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"

  ## SSL directives
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile      "/etc/letsencrypt/live/********/fullchain.pem"
  SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/etc/letsencrypt/live/********/privkey.pem"
  SSLCACertificatePath    "/etc/ssl/certs"
  SSLProtocol             all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
  SSLCipherSuite          HIGH+EECDH:HIGH+EDH:@STRENGTH

  ## Custom fragment
  ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/nextcloud/$1
</VirtualHost>

I couldn’t find any documentation with a full apache2 configuration example, only one for nginx.

Ok, I could solve it now on my own.

The directive with ProxyPassMatch is not needed. There is already a configuration file in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/php7.3-fpm.conf.
The problem with my Custom Fragment was that it didn’t append the filename and the secret to the URL that was being passed to FPM. So instead of
https://fqdn/index.php/apps/files/ajax/download.php?dir=%2F&files=<FILENAME>&downloadStartSecret=<SECRET>
the URL being passed to FPM was:
https://fqdn/index.php/apps/files/ajax/download.php.

Thanks anyways. Maybe this helps somebody someday. :slight_smile:

I think i have same problem but with Nginx. Any solution?
