Owncloud 10.0.3 not Responding (Infinite Loop error)

Server
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install fresh copy of owncloud
  2. Login after setup
  3. Owncloud attempts to load up but after a few stops responding and dies

Expected behaviour

Owncloud should just load up fine and be accessible

Actual behavior

Owncloud displays a blank white box in front of the files app and the files app also loads a files app inside of itself. Entire page stops responding and Chrome alerts that the page is no longer responding with the option to kill the tab.

Still have yet to find a solution but I have determined that Owncloud is encountering an infinite loop. Can somebody please look at my nginx config and tell me if I am missing anything? This is Owncloud's default configuration given in the documentation for 10.0.3.

Nginx isn't officially supported as web server as far as I know. I'd recommend you to switch to apache if possible. Note that I'm not saying that ownCloud won't work with Nginx, but it will be more difficult to help you.

You can check the ".htaccess" file that comes with ownCloud to check the setup for apache. That might help you to check if something is missing in your configuration for nginx.

The only thing I see is that quite a bunch of requests are returning with a 302 HTTP code, which is something that shouldn't happen. You might want to start investigating that.
