Nginx as reverse proxy Fail to login with 4.5.1

[guilmxm]

Hi all,

Environment: HomeServer (Ubuntu 12.10 LTS)
Server: Apache 2.2.22
Database: mysql
Client: Chrome / Firefox
OC-Version: 4.5.1
PHP-Version: 5.4.6

I am actually trying to upgrade from Ubuntu repository version (4.0.7) to latest 4.5.1 and i'm having an issue with nginx acting as a reverse proxy in my front Internet host.

My configuration as follows:

Front host (Debian based, nginx 1.2.1 acting as reverse proxy with a reverse proxy location for owncloud) --> Server running apache2

With version 4.0.7, no issue i can login with any existing user with no issue, but with 4.5.1 i can only login with the first user i created during installation time.

When i try to login with any other user, i get back to main menu as if the password would be wrong. (message wrong passwor ?)

Therefore, i can successfully login directly to my internal server (so bypassing the reverse proxy) with any users, the issue only exist when passing through the revserse proxy.

BUT this works perfectly fine with same configuration when running 4.0.7, there seems to be a regression with 4.5.1 regarding reverse proxy...

I've been looking for a solution everywhere and haven't find any successful answer...
One closed issue: http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-762

So i'm looking for any one having a working nginx configuration with 4.5.1, could not find any interesting log on both reverse proxy / internal server !

Thanks in advance for you help !

My actual location config:

location /owncloud/ {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host some.mydomain.org;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://internal:port;
access_log /var/log/nginx/owncloud.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/owncloud.error.log;
}

Forgot to mention http / https relation :

External (nginx RP running https) --> Internal (Apache 2 running http)

Also tried both https with same SSL certificate, same issue

Maybe people in #22 can help?

It's not the same problem as in #22, it's because OC doesn't know you use https to connect to your reverse proxy, and OC disallow connecting using unsecure http by default (and refuse connections without message).

Try with :

"forcessl" => false,

in config/config.php

(but you might get, once connected, other problems including erroneous calculated paths because OC does not know the URL requested by the browser and will use this information)

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, it could have been a reason but seems not.
In deed, i've tried both configuration, with apache backend ssl enabled and only http with same result.

I finally restarted from scratch and installed using Repository instead of source (i'm running Ubuntu 12.10 LTS) which did the trick, still i have no explanation why it was failing before ^^^

The situation was the incapacity to connect to any other user but the admin user created was ok...

Thanks again :-)

When is this going to be fixed in an official release? :/
