Hello

had the same issue while having 32.0.1 behind a nginx proxy.

occ setupchecks -vvv reported

✓ Overwrite CLI URL: The “overwrite.cli.url” option in your config.php is set to “https://” which is a correct URL. Suggested URL is “https://localhost”.

Could solve the issue in the web interface by changing overwrite.cli.url

FROM

‘overwrite.cli.url’ => ‘https://’,
TO
‘overwrite.cli.url’ => ‘https://localhost’,

Now I get expected output as well within the web interface.

[Tealk144]

Thanks, that worked on one of two servers.

On another server I saw upstream timeouts in nginx error log. Therefor I increase timeouts.

Here my config in nginx

proxy_connect_timeout 360s;
proxy_send_timeout 360s;
proxy_read_timeout 360s;

[Tealk144]

Timeouts are already set to 900
