### ⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️ - [X] This is a **bug**, …not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue. - [X] This issue is **not** already reported on Github _(I've searched it)_. - [X] Nextcloud Server **is** up to date. See [Maintenance and Release Schedule](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/wiki/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule) for supported versions. - [X] I agree to follow Nextcloud's [Code of Conduct](https://nextcloud.com/contribute/code-of-conduct/). ### Bug description Hello, I was in the process of manual installation of Nextcloud 24.0.1 downloaded from here i.e : https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-24.0.1.zip on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) with Apache 2.4, MYSQL 5.7, PHP 7.4. However after entering the admin and database details script redirects to wrong URL i.e : http://{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended instead of http://{{DOMAIN.COM}}/{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended After explicitly providing the correct URL in the browser i.e http://{{DOMAIN.COM}}/{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended The installation tends to proceed fine further. As I have tested on three different servers with the same environment. Everywhere I got the same issue. Is this a known issue ?. Any fix or turnaround for the same ?. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Hit the installation URL in the browser 2. Enter database and admin details 3. Script redirects to http://{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended instead of http://{{DOMAIN.COM}}/{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended ### Expected behavior Script should redirect to correct apps URL page i.e http://{{DOMAIN.COM}}/{{subfolder}}/index.php/core/apps/recommended. ### Installation method Manual installation ### Operating system RHEL/CentOS ### PHP engine version PHP 7.4 ### Web server Apache (supported) ### Database engine version MySQL ### Is this bug present after an update or on a fresh install?

After a fresh installation there is a redirect to the “dashboard”, but the host url is missing.
Example:
https://nextcloud/index.php/core/apps/recommended

This is my script and the vhost I’m using:

github.com

shoujii/Next-Server-Bookworm/blob/main/addons/vhosts/_nextcloud.conf

    location ^~ /.well-known {
        # The rules in this block are an adaptation of the rules
        # in the Nextcloud `.htaccess` that concern `/.well-known`.

        location = /.well-known/carddav { return 301 /change_path/remote.php/dav/; }
        location = /.well-known/caldav  { return 301 /change_path/remote.php/dav/; }

        location /.well-known/acme-challenge    { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }
        location /.well-known/pki-validation    { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }

        # Let Nextcloud's API for `/.well-known` URIs handle all other
        # requests by passing them to the front-end controller.
        return 301 /change_path/index.php$request_uri;
    }

    location ^~ /change_path {

        index index.php index.html /change_path/index.php$request_uri;

        # Rule borrowed from `.htaccess` to handle Microsoft DAV clients

This file has been truncated. show original

change_path will be replaced with /nextcloud/ in the installation.

After the wrong redirect, going back in the browser fixes the problem and I can use nextcloud and there is no error except the mentioned one on github.

I just created a new account because I’m having the same problem and the suggested solutions were not working for me.

I was finally able to log in using another browser: Firefox. So the problem might be in combination with Chrome after a fresh install (that’s the browser I was using). After logging in with firefox I was able to login with chrome normally. Probably because no redirect is happening anymore.

My chrome version is: MacOS Version 115.0.5790.170 (Official Build) (x86_64)
