PHP Errors when accessing from outside network

šŸš§ Installation
1

I successfully installed Next Cloud, and have been able to use it from within my local network. However, when I currently try to access it from outside my local network (using either external IP or mydomain.com) I get an HTTP Error 500 ( mydomain.com is currently unable to handle this request.).

I noticed that under the logging, I see the same 4 errors pop up every time I try to access my server externally.

Here is error #1:
[PHP] Error: TypeError: Return value of OC\AppFramework\Http\Request::getServerHost() must be of the type string, null returned at /snap/nextcloud/13453/htdocs/lib/private/AppFramework/Http/Request.php#907

I also noticed that under the setup and security warnings, it says I am missing a recommended PHP module, imagick. Iā€™m not sure if this is related.

I am using the snap package, on Ubuntu 18.04. Both port 80 and 443 are forwarded, and not blocked by my ISP or firewall. Iā€™m familiar with the linux terminal, but not with PHP or Apache.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Adeel_Rehman,

I was facing a similar issue using an upstream proxy-server. Setting the ā€œoverwritehostā€ configuration solved this issue. To set this parameter add/change this value in config/config.php file. (In docker-compose setup docker-compose exec --user www-data app php occ config:system:set ā€œoverwritehostā€ --value=yourSSLdomain.tld .)

See https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/admin_manual/configuration_server/reverse_proxy_configuration.html - there are some other parameters to be set in a productiv environment.

Hope this helped.

Iā€™m not using a proxy server, so I donā€™t think this is what is causing the issue.

Have you found out how to solve this issue?
I have the same problem and I am not running a reverse proxy either.

EDIT: I do not get 500 errors, but my logs are the same.
