Nginx configuration for connecting to domain.com/owncloud

Hello,

I made a fresh installation of ownCloud 10.0.7 with nginx and everything is working ok
I use a windows client and can connect to cloud2.domain.com/

I have an older owncloud server I moved data and users from. All the windows clients currently connect to this server using cloud.domain.com/owncloud

I want to switch the DNS A record so the clients connecting to the old server connect to the new server (so I don't have to reconfigure all the clients) however if I try to connect to cloud2.domain.com/owncloud from the windows client I get the following error:

05-04 14:51:49:947 [ info sync.networkjob.checkserver ]:	status.php returns:  QJsonDocument()

QNetworkReply::NetworkError(NoError) Reply: QNetworkReplyHttpImpl(0x8c1ad58)
05-04 14:51:49:956 [ warning sync.networkjob.checkserver ]: No proper answer on QUrl("https://removed/login")

I tried setting the location /owncloud in the nginx configuration but I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
Here's the nginx config file

Have you seen the section "owncloud in a subdir of NGINX" here?
https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/nginx_configuration.html

Also your http-server is listening on port 85. Is that desired?

thanks, hadn't read that section.

I tried using that configuration and it works for the client, but now I cannot access owncloud via browser.
with curl I get

curl -i -k https://cloud.domain.ext/owncloud

HTTP/2 302
server: nginx/1.12.2
date: Tue, 08 May 2018 11:33:20 GMT
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
location: /owncloud/
x-content-type-options: nosniff
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block
x-robots-tag: none
x-download-options: noopen
x-permitted-cross-domain-policies: none

Looks like you have configured a temporary redirect in your nginx configuration. Coukd you post your changed nginx config?

Hi Bernie,

below is my current nginx and owncloud configuration.
I noticed that if I open a browser and try to access owncloud I get the error "ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY", but if I connect to another subdomain on the same server (ie. api.domain.ext) and then connect to cloud2.domain.ext, everything works fine and I see the login page. Clearing the browser cache brings back the issue.

I hope I can get the right formatting :slight_smile:

I commented this line and it's working now, I will check what that means and figure it out

thanks for the help

Instead of
ssl_ciphers "-ALL:
it should be:
ssl_ciphers "ALL:
