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