I am struggleing to get owncloud to use the web address I am trying to set. I would appreciate any help

Expected behaviour

should use web address

Actual behaviour

owncloud is using ip instead of ‘overwrite.cli.url’.

Hey,

i think it could make sense to explain this in more detail:

Currently i don’t think that the meaning of “should use web address” is that clear.

Sorry I was up late working just trying to get this. Basically I want the name on the search bar at the top to be my domain not my IP. Currently the website just redirects to the IP. Honestly I just don’t know what I’m doing, I’m not very confident when it comes to setting up web pages.

Hey,

so i think you mean that if you are entering your domain name in your browser you are getting redirected to the IP instead?

If yes then i don’t think that the overwrite.cli.url is responsible / used for this because the description of this setting is saying the following:

Use this configuration parameter to specify the base URL for any URLs which are generated within ownCloud using any kind of command line tools (cron or occ).

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.4/admin_manual/configuration/server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#override-cli-url

I think this redirect could be caused by the nginx web server or configuration.

This parameter is for the occ command and other command line tools to know which URL ownCloud is installed under, as it states in the documentation @tom42 quoted.

Yes I was thinking that as well first. What I would like to add though is:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.4/admin_manual/configuration/server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#override-automatic-proxy-detection

The overwritehost variable is the one you can try on the ownCloud side to adjust the behavior of the website.
