Uploading files cause internal server error (Nginx, 2x php blocks)

ℹ️ Support
1

I have nextcloud running on Ubuntu 16.4 with nginx and php7.

NC is accessed via a https://foo.bar/nextcloud

Nginx config: http://pastebin.com/WhWvmcwL

As you can see I have two location blocks for php. One for nextcloud and one for the other php files in the same webroot.

This setup works in all but one case. When I uload files from the web ui, I get a popup saying “interal server error”, and the file is not uploaded. If I disable the general php block everything works fine (except all other applications on the server :p)

Any suggestions? :frowning:

Could you post the output of the following just after trying to upload a file:
systemctl status nginx

Also, are there any obvious errors in the owncloud.log file in the data folder?

Hello,
can you upload files from Webdav applications ?

Thanks for quick response! :slight_smile:

There are no errors in the owncloud.log for this event, however I get something in the nginx log: http://pastebin.com/MYFi8K7Z

Webdav (iOS and desktop client) work perfectly.

Also, as requested:

I am a beginner in GNU/Linux world so I made a mistake that led me to have the same problem as you with my nextcloud configuration. I wasn’t able to upload any file from webui and I haven’t found anything in logs files. Webdav worked perfectly. I haven’t found anything relative to my problem on the internet so I searched a bit by myself, I found a code error in my nginx configuration for nextcloud. I took the conf from the the previous version of owncloud.
Perharps you can check that file in details, I had a problem under a location string somewhere.

Hope that can help you too.

This turned out to be a sever and embarrasing case of me not having RTFM.

All my location blocks lived outside a general “location ~ /nextcloud”. Apparently this worked in all but this one case. The general block is clearly stated in the configuration example I used.

I addedd the block, and now everything works perfectly.

Sorry for wasng your time ;p
