Timeout while trying to connect to Nextcloud

Hello everyone,

I installed Nextcloud for the first time, the installation process has been successful and Iā€™m able to access to the GUI thru my browser. Now Iā€™m using the Windows Nextcloud Connection Wizard and Iā€™m getting a timeout error (see screenshot). Does anybody know what could be the reason of this error? I already added my IP to the config.php file, under trusted domains but Iā€™m still having the same issue.

Thanks in advance,

Are you using http or https. Only the former worked for me.

I have the same problem. My Nextcloud installation is https-only so no luck on the http path. Incidentally, the Owncloud client works fine. Iā€™m at 10.0.5, so will try the client again when MIAB upgrades.

Nextcloud responds fine to the request when you point a browser at it, so something must be broken in the clientā€¦

I am having the exact same problem, even with http.

I run Nextcloud 12 on a raspberry pi in my wifi network, and I can access it via browser just fine. But the desktop client fails with the timeout message. Iā€™m on Ubuntu 17.0.4 Gnome. The client is netxtcloudclient version 2.2.4.5 from Snapcraft.

The Nextcloud client on my Mac OS X on the other hand works fine with the same Nextcloud instance.

I filed a bug report: Client on Ubuntu: timeout while trying to connect to Nextcloud at status.php Ā· Issue #12 Ā· nextcloud/desktop Ā· GitHub

Update from my side: I just found that while entering the internal hostname, in my case ā€œraspberrypi2ā€, does not work, as shown in my comment above, the IP address (IPv4) instead (in my case 192.168.178.39) works just fine.

When I do a ā€œping raspberrypi2ā€ from my machine, I get this:

PING raspberrypi2(2003:c1:13cb:4c00:e41d:2f49:2c72:e8a8 (2003:c1:13cb:4c00:e41d:2f49:2c72:e8a8)) 56 data bytes

Maybe itā€™s a problem with the IPv6 and that itā€™s resolved like that.

On the other hand, when I use the external hostname (like www.mydomain.com) that points to the very same raspberry pi via DynDNS, the connection works fine with the sync client as well. When I ping that domain, I get an IPv4 address back.

FYI

Make ā€˜timeout for http requestsā€™ a configurable item #18103

Happy hacking.

Hi. Same Problem here. My workaround is disabling IPv6 on client.
