not accessible (Remote shared server)

Hello and weclome to nextcloud @mitradranirban
could you please create a dummy form and try to share it with me?
and are you also able to access the form on your computer?

Thank for your prompt reply. This is the link of a test form I created with access set to everyone. http://cloud.atipra.in/index.php/apps/forms/form/VMWmQSX9fQjRdLhy
I can access the form from my computer but not from a incognito tab in browser when ‘Internal Server Error’ message comes.

did you download the forms app from the app store or did you import it (download the zip and unzip it in the apps folder)

make shure that www-data:www-data is the owner of the folder!

In Cloudlinux of my hosting privider there is no user apache or www-data

I downloaded from app store directly

It looks like was reported already long time ago: https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/issues/291
But seems does not work still
 Just tested and have the same issue as you - internal Server Error.

Do you have version 1.1.1???

Just did update to 2.0.1 and it works!

I downloaded from App Store of nextcloud

ok set the forms folder to the correct owner just to be sure

Hi all,

just as @gas85 wrote: This is definitely the bug, that V1.1.1 still had. Just update to forms V2 on the app-store, that should solve your problem! :slight_smile:

Greets,
Jonas

Thanks for your support. Updating the version to 2.1 solved the problem. I was under the misconception that a new install of nextcloud will install the latest version of its recommended apps. So I did not check for updates. Now I have learnt the lession.
