Hey,
First, I want to express my gratitude to the Nextcloud team and the entire community. Youāre all doing a great job !
Iāve recently followed the fork owncloud -> nextcloud when I received my new server hardware. Iāve successfully installed Nextcloud for Debian 10 Buster. But Iām still facing some problemsā¦ Iām convinced most of them are relating to the server configuration. Before exposing you my troubles, letās talk about my environment :
ā¢ Debian 10 Buster
ā¢ Apache2 server
ā¢ Nextcloud installation outside of web root
ā¢ Data folder outside of Nextcloud root
ā¢ Data are on a ZFS drive
ā¢ Workstation on Windows 10
Iām not understanding everything relating to apache2 configuration. Iām facing difficulties with the server configuration files, cause I have 2 differents files in sites-available folder : nextcloud.conf & nexcloud-le-ssl.conf. If I well understand, these configurations are overwrited by .htaccess inside the Nextcloud folder. Can you explain me in which way some of these 2 files in my web directory are useless ? Precision : both of these files has the directive āDav Onā.
Well, letās talk about problemsā¦
Mails
Iām trying to send mails on Nextcloud settings through an OVH account, but itās not working. Here is the message I receive in admin panel :
WebDav
I cannot connect through WebDav, Iām receiving a 401 authentication error. Itās the same error with windows shell, explorer, and CyberDuck.
Caldav & Cardav
I also have the traditional error āYour Web server is not set up properly to resolve /.well-known/caldav/ or /.well-known/carddav/ā
Investigations
Iām quite sure all these problems can be solved with a good configuration of my .htaccess. Iāve read a lot of topics on this forum and on Internet but I cannot find a good example matching to my configuration, and I was not able to solve this problem by myself. It looks like WebDav and mail problems are both relating to this ******* .htaccess file. In particular, I think these troubles are relating to mod_headers and mod_rewrite. Here is the content of my .htaccess :
.htaccess
