Nextcloud Office running from Ubuntu/Apache will not open files in browser, using Collabora Demo Servers

it was recommended to do so in even one of your links, to explicitly spell out IP + domain

IF you have a reverse proxy… you said you have no reverse proxy

correct, I took it off and rebooted, back in a few minutes TY

looking at your server https://db5d.btd.cloud, you have plenty setup warnings

you should get them sorted first. especially this:
grafik

and don’t use the demo server rather install built-in collabora CODE from app store.

see the warning message:

rebooted and here is hosts file

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 db5d.btd.cloud db5dcloudware


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
~                       

ok I will get on that

don’t use the demo server rather install built-in collabora CODE from app store.

see the warning message:

The online code server has always failed, I just installed it and it fails again.

I upped the memory to 1GB and added the header, done all this before makes no difference

AT ANY POINT , you can check that the demo servers do indeed work from
my version 22 I just installed yesterday, that works out of the box with demo servers (on Ubuntu with Apache and LetsEncrypt SSL)

added same user mork/nanoonanoo

v22.db5d.cloud

THIS is only so we can at any point see that the Collabora Demo servers are indeed working, this ticket is about NEXTCLOUD instance + Collabora Demo Server, I have no interest in using the built in CODE which I’ve never ever gotten to install and run, please and TY

OR also, you can check on the new install you just did yesterday, that you screenshot to me that you were using the demo servers that they are working

BTW that install that you did yesterday and said ā€œdoneā€ was that a straight install from Github code to a Ubuntu server running only Apache with no reverse proxy nor snap involved as I stated in my challenge?

you’re doing it again! we’re not interested in v22 THAT IS DEAD!!!

then your system has alwys been configured incorrectly!

that instance is still showing plenty setup errors:

this is going nowhere… I’m bailing out!

you didn’t read it all that’s how I can determine collabora demo servers are working, and so can you from the install you did yesterday and sent me screenshots.. please read and understand what I’m saying, I am NOT interested in using built in code, only a stand-alone coolwsd server. The demo-servers, in spite of the warnings, are working, and can be tested that they’re working from your fresh NC instance or my V22 one. We’re testing with the demo servers only (at the first tech guy’s recommendation BTW) so we know we are only focused on the Nextcloud instance with verifiably working demo servers.

none of that is an error, only suggestions, REALLY? I’m not paying for a high-end performance bla bla bla.. I only want this for one person right now

The red text is ONLY to do with TALK, do you even understand we don’t need memory caches to work this app, they are only to enhance performance

You said you did an install yesterday on Ubuntu server running Apache right? Please verify that you completed my challenge.

If you didn’t install this on Apache/ubuntu then how can we tell it’s not a system bug ?

Nextcloud server packaged as a snap. It consists of:

Nextcloud 31
Apache 2.4
PHP 8.3
MySQL 8.0
Redis 7.2

done :check_mark:

Thanks, but it’s on a snap behind a reverse proxy then I reckon. It should just work from a server too… Can you try that? I’ll hook up Redis now.

nope, I’m out!

I can give you the logins to a fresh VPS and you could install everything just for fun! Well I do sincerely thank you for your assistance here today and yesterday, you’ve been a great help. I will go ahead and try with Snap since that works for you.. have a great day :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

When you say you installed Nextcloud Server from GitHub, what do you mean precisely? What did you download and how did you install it?

I ask because that’s not the normal distribution channel for the install-ready Archive file. You also have your channel set to git so I’m wondering if you’re truly running 30.0.7 versus a dev build or something. You also have the QA test app so I think something else is going on here.

Also, I don’t think your issue has much to do with Collabora/Office. Your test instance also behaves the same way for txt/md files. The download action is just the fallback when there’s nothing else.

I see other oddities like the no indication the Viewer app is even loading.

And with the integrity check apparently manually disabled it’s impossible to assess the state of your installation.

git clone --branch stable31 --single-branch https://github.com/nextcloud/server.git ./ the way it is recommended to install this at the Github site as far as I can see

Is how I’ve always installed, straight into the folder where it will be hosted, i.e. /var/www/mydomain/public_html

and always put my data one folder up so /var/www/mydomain/data

then sudo chown all to www-data

Thank you for coming to my assistance.

I was even contemplating should I just git clone ā€œmasterā€ instead of a single branch? but for years before I always use stablexx and in fact my method of installing on stable22 just to test out yesterday, works fine with the demo servers (login info above)

What you said about the ā€œfallbackā€ and that this may not even be about Richdocuments is interesting..

just for argument’s sake, I will do another install using ā€œmasterā€ and see what happens

sudo git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/server.git ./
