I have the same problem with Swift storage configured as primary storage. I'm not using docker but Nextcloud 12 in /var/www/html on Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache2.

Swift storage is working fine for me with Nextcloud version 11.0.3.

[johansmitsnl]

Found the "solution" this week.
You have to clear first all files from the account. Then make the config change and it will work. There is not migration or detection that you have switched the primary storage backend.

This might be more clearly documented thats why I leave this ticket open. Hope @tompinzler this info is helpful.

[tompinzler]

Hm, I'm trying to activate Swift storage on a brand new installation without existing files. At this point there is only one existing user which was generated during installation and that user has never logged in.
When I try to login I get "Internal Server Error" all the time.

[johansmitsnl]

But there are always some generated files to "welcome" the user. Delete all these files and empty the trash. And then give it a try.

[tompinzler]

Tried that. No luck. I deleted the files on the file system but the "Internal Server Error" persists.

@johansmitsnl Thanks for your effort!

I have the same problem trying to set up S3 on Nextcloud 12, I get an error 500. The logs reveal:

Searching for the "You must provide the Content-Length HTTP header" error reveals a bug in the AWS SDK due to an old version of Guzzle:

aws/aws-sdk-php#497

So I guess unless the files_external app is updated to a new AWS SDK version, it won't work :(

[noplanman]

Any progress on this? Running into this too...

[610th]

Seems like this is still an issue. The proposed solution worked for me, but I figure this certainly isn't desired behavior.
