Redirect to /apps/files/ after login ignores subdirectory (creates loop)

[EyMaddis]

Hello,
there are several threads having problems with that
http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=13501
http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=20162

I just set up a brand new server and installed owncloud via the webinstaller. It is running on a nginx server with php5-fpm.

I tried several things to solve the loop, but nothing worked. Then I installed completely fresh, but this time in a subdirectory and I noticed that it redirected to the root of the domain domain.com/index.php/apps/files/

This seems to be the issue why I had infinite redirects when I installed it in the root directory.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install in subdirectory (in my case even two: owncloud/owncloud)
2. Complete setup with user etc., it will then redirect.

Expected behaviour

show the owncloud interface.

Actual behaviour

redirected to the root of the domain:
to http://cloud.madd.is/index.php/apps/files/ instead of the correct one:
http://cloud.madd.is/owncloud/owncloud/index.php/apps/files/

Server configuration

Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Web server: nginx (config without redirects)

Database: MySQL

PHP version: PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.4 (http://cloud.madd.is/owncloud/owncloud/phpinfo.php)

ownCloud version: (see ownCloud admin page)

Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: fresh

List of activated apps: None (default installation)

The content of config/config.php:

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oce4e012fb13',
  'passwordsalt' => 'xxx',
  'trusted_domains' => 
  array (
    0 => 'cloud.madd.is',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => '/var/www/madd.is/cloud.madd.is/owncloud/owncloud/data',
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',
  'version' => '7.0.2.1',
  'dbname' => 'xxx',
  'dbhost' => 'localhost',
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => 'xxx',
  'dbpassword' => 'xxx',
  'installed' => true,
);

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: no

Are you using encryption: tried both

Nginx config

I tried several version, including the config from the documentation, but this one is the stripped down version I used in this test:

server {
    listen *:80;
listen *:443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate  /home/maddis/ssl/maddis.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /home/maddis/ssl/maddis.key;
    server_name cloud.madd.is;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/cloudmaddis.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/cloudmaddis.error.log;

    root /var/www/madd.is/cloud.madd.is;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/ajenti-v-php-fcgi-cloudmaddis-php-fcgi-0.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

    }

}

Hi,

so you have used exactly this config http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/installation/configuration_nginx.html with an OC installed to the root dir? Is this working for you?

If yes you need to do some additions to your config as the default nginx configs won't work in subdirs. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21645068/nginx-and-owncloud-in-subfolder for example.

@karlitschek Very likely more a config issue than a bug in OC

Ok, after a good night of sleep I noticed that I did not copy the fastcgi_params part correctly. Now I have #11243, but this ticket can get closed.

Thanks!

In your config.php you didn't set this option:

/* The automatic webroot detection of ownCloud can fail in certain reverse proxy and CLI/cron situations. This option allows to manually override the automatic detection. For example "/domain.tld/ownCloud". The value "/" can be used to remove the root. */
"overwritewebroot" => "",
