The oddest login problem

Nextcloud version 13.0.1
Operating system and version Debian 9.4
Apache or nginx version Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)
PHP version 7.0.27-0+deb9u1
Database version mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.26-MariaDB

The issue you are facing:

Unable to login to Nextcloud web interface via laptop but I can from my desktop PC. The login button does not respond.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Yes.

Working PC

Not working laptop

Steps taken

  1. Cleared cache on laptop browser
  2. Cleared hidden .mozilla cache
  3. Tried different browsers
  4. Reformatted laptop (same result)
  5. Connected the laptop to the network via wi-fi, wired ethernet and tried both over a VPN and not over a VPN.

Desktop and laptop OS in Mint 18.3

Main browser used is Firefox 59.0.2 which is the same on both devices.

I have resolved the issues in the logs below. No new error logged since 12:39 today

Could it be a browser issue?

Steps taken

Cleared cache on laptop browser
Cleared hidden .mozilla cache
Tried different browsers
Reformatted laptop (same result)

Open to other suggestions.

It’s only after you make the post that you figure it out…

I am still not sure why it is breaking in this scenario but it is related to DNS. I have the laptop logging in now.

Once I have figured out exactly where the issue is I will update with a better explanation.
