I´m not fluent in nginx, so i may miss some obvious points, but the following error Message

has the nextcloud 2 times in there. What is strange, that you explicitly told the Reverseproxy to use 8888, yet the error says port 80. Is this error from the Apache error log or from your browser?

May you please post your apache config too?

Could be that you dont need to specify the ports under
'overwrite.cli.url' and
'trusted_domains'

it may even be, that it breaks something, i dont know, since i never tried it.

Thanks @Ascendancer for your support, this thread can be mark as closed.

Below is the config i’ve used in ngnix and it is working as expected.

server { listen 443 ssl; server_name nextcloud.domin.com; ssl on; ssl_certificate_key /website-ssl-cert/private.key; ssl_certificate /website-ssl-cert/certificate.crt; location /nextcloud/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/nextcloud/; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/nextcloud/; } }

Great to hear :slight_smile:

Next time watch out and do not post the 'passwordsalt' and 'secret'. They are important for the security of your server!

Nginx was not able to handle URL with anything after the primary domain, so it was giving error

So i had add an directive to handle this issue,

Hope this will quench your curiosity. :vulcan_salute:
