Additional info

There is really no log entry at all that are relevant.

My config works with other apps like Gitea and Grafana.

Nextcloud and OpenLDAP run on a Kubernetes cluster. I don’t even know if the LDAP App is doing anything. There are no logs and no access is made to the OpenLDAP server.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

devent · 2022-01-27T16:21:54Z

Sorry, I somehow forgot about the title.

Bueddl · 2022-08-25T21:31:51Z

I am experiencing the same issue, also without any indication in the logs. Version is 24.0.4.1.
Were you able to solve this?

Bueddl · 2022-08-25T21:47:52Z

At least in my base this is related to #16194.
Applying the rewrites from nextcloud/documentation#2197 (comment) to my config fixed it for me.

P8ntBal1551 · 2022-09-29T19:37:00Z

Were you ever able to find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the exact same thing on the official nextcloud docker image as well.

Did you apply the changes from nextcloud/documentation#2197 (comment) ?

P8ntBal1551 · 2022-10-02T06:20:36Z

I have no file in /var/www/html that contains "location ~ .php". My head is probably up my bottom, but where would I find this file?

szaimen · 2023-01-23T13:01:51Z

Hi, please update to 24.0.9 or better 25.0.3 and report back if it fixes the issue. Thank you!

My goal is to add a label like e.g. 25-feedback to this ticket of an up-to-date major Nextcloud version where the bug could be reproduced. However this is not going to work without your help. So thanks for all your effort!

If you don't manage to reproduce the issue in time and the issue gets closed but you can reproduce the issue afterwards, feel free to create a new bug report with up-to-date information by following this link: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2C0.+Needs+triage&template=BUG_REPORT.yml&title=%5BBug%5D%3A+

P8ntBal1551 · 2023-01-23T17:29:51Z

I fixed it by nuking the database.

I tried to re-create the nextcloud server from scratch, but as soon as I connected it to the SQL database; LDAP killed itself again. The only solution was to re-create everything from scratch, including the database.

I didn't try other versions of nextcloud, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
