Server
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. type in url to browser
  2. wait for the server to return saying it cant find the url
  3. look in the url and find an extra https//

Expected behaviour

I would expect to get to the index page of my owncloud at https://example.com

Actual behaviour

The browser returns an error saying it cant find https://https//example.com

After it fails if i remove the extra https// I get the login, and when connecting through the windows app everything works.

Hi dimitry thank you for the reply

  • There is a comma after datadirectory, i typed in the configs by hand to remove the sensitive info and the ".’ is a typo.

  • i’ll look into upgrading, didnt realize my install was so old…

  • remove the https from where? is that what is causing my problem?

Hey,

i think @dmitry is referring to this one:

when comparing this with the examples in the documentation / config.sample.php:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration/server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#proxy-configurations

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration/server/reverse_proxy_configuration.html

this looks wrongly configured in your config.php

Maybe 'overwriteprotocol' => 'https' is what you were looking for?
