So when coming to upgrade my install I noticed this warning!!
Your data directory and files are probably accessible from the Internet. The .htaccess file is not working
I am currently using Nginx as a proxy to my nextcoud service which is running the default apache virtualhost. I assume the .htaccess would work being located in document root, is that not the case?
This line in the directory config of apache makes the htaccess working. You should add the nextcloud directory-config to the host config of apache as noted in the docs…
So I have my proxy (nginx), passing to another local server with Nextcloud installed on it, and that is running Apache with the default nextcloud conf. This includes a Directory / location block and includes the directive and value “AllowOverride All”
