HTTPS redirection to HTTP no matter what I do
I have recently been tasked with repairing a SSL issue on a site that I am managing, the SSL issue is not an Apache issue, as the redirection is coming from HTaccess, or something else in the code of Nextcloud.
I have put this in the htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Which instantly fails with a too many redirections in chrome.
When it is disabled, the site instantly works on http.
Everything else
Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 19.0.4
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 18.04 (Fully updated)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): (Apache2 Fully Updated)
PHP version (eg, 7.1): PHP 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.7
The issue you are facing:
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes
Steps to replicate it:
- Enabled SSL anywhere in apache, or Nextcloud.
- Page instantly fails to load.
