Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 27.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Debian 12
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): 2.4.57

The issue you are facing: My web server is not properly set up to resolve "/.well-known/caldav" and "/.well-known/carddav"

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

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Upgraded from Debian 11 to 12 (including PHP from 7.4 to 8.2)
  2. Upgraded from Nextcloud 25.0.8 to 26.0.3 to 27.0.0 to 27.0.1
  3. Created /var/www/html/.htaccess below according documentation linked at bottom
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^\.well-known/carddav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
  RewriteRule ^\.well-known/caldav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Output errors in nextcloud.log in /var/www/ or as admin user in top right menu, filtering for errors. Use a pastebin service if necessary.

Hi Christian,

your issue sounds familiar to me :slight_smile:
I’m on OpenSUSE Leap, now 15.5, but for a long while I’ve this lines in my Apache VHOST definition for my nextcloud instance:

# Rules in .htaccess are NOT triggered, whyever. So added manually
        Redirect 301 /.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav
        Redirect 301 /.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav

Works fine for me, never tested again if still neccesary.

Hi Michaelof,

Thanks for your fast reply; I added the last three lines to the VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf (Nextcloud is hosted on https://.../nextcloud/)

<VirtualHost>
        ...
        RewriteEngine On
        Redirect 301 /.well-known/carddav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav
        Redirect 301 /.well-known/caldav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav
</VirtualHost>

Issue resolved.

Kind regards, Christian
