All,
The new update for Nextcloud 27.1.2 causes a new Admin Warning when the new
.htaccess files is incorporated. After the update and after 'occ
maintenance:update:htaccess' the following warning is triggered in the
Administrative Settings Overview check that runs:
There are some warnings regarding your setup.
Your web server is not properly set up to resolve
"/nextcloud/ocm-provider/". This is most likely related to a web server
configuration that was not updated to deliver this folder directly. Please
compare your configuration against the shipped rewrite rules in ".htaccess"
for Apache or the provided one in the documentation for Nginx at it's
documentation page ↗. On Nginx those are typically the lines starting with
"location ~" that need an update.
The problem seems to surround the line:
RewriteRule ^ocm-provider/?$ /index.php [QSA,L]
which is present in the .htaccess.pacnew, but not present in the original
.htaccess. Restoring the original .htaccess fixes the issue immediately
resulting in "All checks passed"
Since the line "RewriteRule ^ocm-provider/?$ /index.php [QSA,L]" is above
the comment stating:
#### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE ####
Is this an issue with the update package that needs to be fixed?
I generally try to incorporate all .pacnew configs (at least go through
them and migrate any changes). There are a number of changes in the new
.htaccess.pacnew file above the comment line, so that leaves me questioning
whether my current .htaccess is optimal even though the overview checks show
"All checks passed".
