[stable33] docs: clarify htaccess.RewriteBase is a backend path, not public URL#14946
Merged
Conversation
The previous description implied the value should mirror the public URL, causing users behind a reverse proxy to misconfigure the setting and hit infinite redirect loops. The value is an Apache RewriteBase directive and must reflect where Nextcloud is served on the backend (relative to DocumentRoot), not the public-facing URL prefix. Split into "Direct setup" and "Reverse proxy" sections with a concrete example of each, and added a matching note in the Pretty URLs section of the source installation guide. Fixes #13428 Signed-off-by: John Molakvoæ (skjnldsv) <skjnldsv@protonmail.com>
