OC 9.1.3 fresh install redirect issue

hello all!

I recently did a fresh install of OC 9.1.3 onto ubuntu 16.10 w/ mariaDB cluster. The install seemed to go fine as no errors were reported at all. The database was created and verified. The initial admin was created as well.

Once the install was done, I got the login screen and tried to login as admin. No errors were presented, but seems I always keep getting redirected to:

/owncloud/index.php/login?redirect_url=%252Fowncloud%252Findex.php%252Fapps%252Ffiles%252F

no matter what I type, I get the same redirect message.

Apache error logs show nothing,

Apache access logs:

I followed the install steps provided on the OC site and no issues were presented during install.

Thank you.

That is normal, you get to the file app by default and your home-directory is shown:
-> https://example.org/owncloud/index.php/apps/files/

Then you should see the file view, what do you see instead?

Please fill out the issue template shown when creating a new thread. Currently infos like the used webserver, PHP module (mod_php, fastcgi, php-fpm) and version etc. is missing.
