Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 19.0.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04):18.04.5 LTS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.46 (Ubuntu)
PHP version (eg, 7.1):PHP 7.4.10 (cli) (built: Sep 9 2020 06:36:14) ( NTS )

The issue you are facing:
A few days after nexctloud was upgrade to 19.0.3 (which went smooth) the webinterface (www.cloud.mfgp.ch) only displays the content after login in text. Graphical interface is not available.

After installing the backup it runs for a few days correctly and then suddenly the webinterface is shown in plain text only. Interestingly when NC set to maintenance Mode on, webinterface “Maintenance Mode” is shown perfectly. As soon as maintenance Mode is set to off, only plain text content is displayed.

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

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Install Server Backup
  2. It runs for a approx. 2 days then falls back into the above descreibe failure mode

I hope someone from the support Team may be able to support.

@MFGP

I have tested your website.

https://www.cloud.mfgp.ch
redirects to
https://www.cloud.mfgp.ch/core/index.php/login

Where have you edit “core”. That is not correct.
Yes there is a directory “core” but not in this context.

php - Error with .htaccess and mod_rewrite - Stack Overflow

Have you modified something in an .htaccess ?

Hint:
Perhaps you have restored files to the wrong directories.

Thank you for your reply.

I have not modified any .htaccess nor did I restore files to the wrong directories - at least not that I am aware off. But after the fault already occurred, we’ve updated from php7.2 to 7.4 and apche2 to 2.4.

About two weeks agou I’ve updated NC to 19.0.3. After that it was running normal until a few days ago.

Mobile Desktop and mobile apps seem to work and to synchronise data. Just the access via Webinterface is creating an issue.

Some other interesting info: Looking at the Nextcloud app installed on my mac, the follwoing conflict messages are shown on the admin account:

…and the follwing on the user account:

Interestingly the conflicts are only shown on the admin account.
