Operating system and version: Centos9(RockyLinux 9)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): nginx1.24 as reverse proxy, apache installed on nextcloud-aio
PHP version (eg, 7.4): php8.1

issue

  • My nextcloud desktop client can’t access after some operations in config.php since eariler I configuring the onlyoffice.
  • The nextcloud can be accessed normally on desktop and mobile, but not webdav
  • I checked out the nextcloud client’s log, found out that status.php’s response is incorrect
  • So I accessed status.php from browser, it’s came out that:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected single-quoted string "overwrite.cli.url", expecting ")" in /var/www/html/config/config.php on line 111
  • But my config.php has already back to normal ! And I have restarted the nextcloud-aio for once, the response has nothing to change

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. modify somewhere in config.php, makes it has a syntax error
  2. access the nextcloud using nextcloud-desktop
  3. resume the config.php

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

NOTHING RELATE TO THE status.php

The output of your config.php file:

It can be said with certainty that it’s not the status.php’s fault, cause i can get the correct response from my mobile phone, but not my PC

OK

I figured it out. All is from the cache I set in a second nginx proxy, which cached the response :rofl:
