<h1>Nginx configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#nginx-configuration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>This page covers example Nginx configurations to use with running a Nextcloud
server. These configurations examples were originally provided by
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/josh4trunks">@josh4trunks</a> and are community-maintained. (Thank you contributors!)</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>You need to insert the following code into <strong>your Nginx configuration file.</strong></p></li>
<li><p>Adjust <strong>server_name</strong>, <strong>root</strong>, <strong>ssl_certificate</strong> and
<strong>ssl_certificate_key</strong> to suit your needs.</p></li>
<li><p>Make sure your SSL certificates are readable by the server (see <a class="reference external" href="https://wiki.nginx.org/HttpSslModule">nginx HTTP
SSL Module documentation</a>).</p></li>
<li><p>Be careful about line breaks if you copy the examples, as long lines may be
broken for page formatting.</p></li>
<li><p>Some environments might need a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cgi.fix_pathinfo</span></code> set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> in their
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">php.ini</span></code>.</p></li>

<h2>Nextcloud in a subdir of the nginx webroot<a class="headerlink" href="#nextcloud-in-a-subdir-of-the-nginx-webroot" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The following config should be used when Nextcloud is placed within a subdir of
the webroot of your nginx installation.
In this example the Nextcloud files are located at
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/www/nextcloud</span></code> and the Nextcloud instance is accessed via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">http(s)://cloud.example.com/nextcloud/</span></code>.
The configuration differs from the “Nextcloud in webroot” configuration above in the following ways:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>All requests for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code> are encapsulated within a single <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">location</span></code> block, namely <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">location</span> <span class="pre">^~</span> <span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>The string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code> is prepended to all prefix paths.</p></li>
<li><p>The root of the domain is mapped to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/www</span></code> rather than <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/www/nextcloud</span></code>, so that the URI <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code> is mapped to the server directory <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/www/nextcloud</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>The blocks that handle requests for paths outside of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code> (i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/robots.txt</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/.well-known</span></code>) are pulled out of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">location</span> <span class="pre">^~</span> <span class="pre">/nextcloud</span></code> block.</p></li>
<li><p>The block which handles <cite>/.well-known</cite> doesn’t need a regex exception, since the rule which prevents users from accessing hidden folders at the root of the Nextcloud installation no longer matches that path.</p></li>
</ul>

<h3>JavaScript (.js) or CSS (.css) files not served properly<a class="headerlink" href="#javascript-js-or-css-css-files-not-served-properly" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>A common issue with custom nginx configs is that JavaScript (.js)

error on those files and a broken webinterface.</p>
<p>This could be caused by the:</p>

<p>block. Other custom configurations like caching JavaScript (.js)
or CSS (.css) files via gzip could also cause such issues.</p>
<p>Another cause of this issue could be not properly including mimetypes in the

<h3>Upload of files greater than 10 MiB fails<a class="headerlink" href="#upload-of-files-greater-than-10-mib-fails" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you configure nginx (globally) to block all requests to (hidden) dot files,
it may be not possible to upload files greater than 10 MiB using the webpage
due to Nextclouds requirement to upload the file to an url ending with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/.file</span></code>.</p>
<p>You may require to change:</p>

<p>If you after fresh installation (Centos 7 with nginx) have problem with first login, you should as first check these files:</p>

tail /var/log/nginx/access.log
tail /var/log/nginx/error.log
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you just see some correct requests in access log, but no login happens, you check access rights for php session and wsdlcache directory. Try to check permissions and execute change if needed:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>chown nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session/
