Installing nextcloud on nginx, getting error 500


I'm following the instructions to install Nextcloud on an nginx server. I copy the configuration from the offical documentation, i set my server name and my ssl certificate path, and when i try to reach nextcloud from my browser i get

"500 Internal server error".

When i check in the error.log i get

rewrite or internal redirection cycle while processing "/index.php"

This is my configuration file:

upstream php-handler {
    #server 127.0.0.1:9000;
    server unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name mrbackslash.tk;
    # enforce https
    return 301 https://$server_name:443$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name mrbackslash.tk;

Help!


Solution

  • I solved the issue by re-uploading the configuration file via ftp, pasting it in nano on the ssh shell was a bad idea!
