/owncloud/index.php/apps/news/ always redirects to /owncloud/index.php

[icebrian]

Hello everyone,

I have for a while now been suffering from a problem that makes the News client via web unusable.

Basically whenever I access the "News" app I get redirected to "/owncloud/index.php". I have tried everything I could think of to try a debug this problem but it is always the same.

This was present since the first day I started using OC v5.0.4 + News. I am currently at OC v 5.0.10 and News v1.205 and App Framework v0.102, so all the latest version and the problem persists.

I was using only HTTPS but I have tried only via HTTP but problem is the same. The only times in which News works is after installing a new version, after the install I can access News only once, all subsequente acesses are redirected to the OwnCloud main page.

I have tried using diferent browsers (in Linux and Windows), clearing caches, history, cookies, etc all to no avail.

I've been following the bugs here but I have never seen anyone complaining about this problem, so that makes me think that this might be specific to my own setup.

I all everything is pretty simple, I am using a QNAP TS-439 Pro II NAS that provides customization abilities in which one can run a webserver for such thing as OwnCloud.

OwnCloud itself works great, but News app does not. On the NAS am using PHP 5.3.14 and Apache/2.2.14.

In the apache access_log I get the following, after clicking on the News app icon.

As one can see the first HTTP code is a 307, a redirect. Well here is my report, if any other information is needed please let me know.

[BernhardPosselt]

News will redirect to index.php when there is an authentication error. Never run into this problem though personally. Please try to set up owncloud on a different server to try to narrow down the problem.

[BernhardPosselt]

And could you also try to install the notes app from git master? it uses the same style of programming

[icebrian]

Setting up a new system on a diferent isn't going to be easy for me, but will try. In the meantime have been trying to get notes from git running but to no avail (https://github.com/owncloud/notes).

Have also been doing more tests. If I for example, disable and then re-enable News, I can access my news feeds the first time and only the first time, meaning if I navigate away and come back I get the redirect problem once again.

What is strange to me is that, whenever I upgrade or re-install the first access works fine, but any other subsequente accesss do not.

[BernhardPosselt]

Can you enable debug mode (See readme) and post data/Owncloud.Log?

[tim3towers]

Same problem here after upgrading PHP to 5.5.1 and enabling the opcache. Log message: CSRF check failed Disabling the opcache fixed the issue.

[icebrian]

After enabling debug mode in owncloud.log after accessing News app I get:

{"app":"news","message":"CSRF check failed","level":0,"time":"2013-08-20T22:27:08+00:00"}

tim3towers: how does one disable opcache? I tried with "opcache.enable = Off" and "opcache.enable = 0" in php.ini but I am still experiencing same problem.

Do you have PHP5.5? I don't see a opcache section. Try to disable eaccelerator.

[icebrian]

Hi there,

sorry for late reply. Yes am running PHP 5.3.14, I now tried with:

php_flag eaccelerator.enable 0

in .htaccess file and am pleased to report that news is now running as expected.

If you need anything else let me know.

Thanks

[KolbenJoe]

I have a similar one. My owncloud installation is running on a shared server featuring SSL only via SSL proxy. Owncloud enforces redirection to the SSL proxy.

So when I go to http://cloud.mydomain.com it is redirected to https://ssl-account.com/cloud.mydomain.com/index.php/apps/news/ (in the case, that news was the last application I was using). That's fine.

Nevertheless when my browser is closed for a longer time and I open it again the owncloud tab tries to redirect to https://ssl-account.com/index.php/apps/news/ which is wrong.

This is happening since I upgraded to owncloud 7.0.1 and I remember that this was different with owncloud 5. My rewrite rules were similar.

In .htaccess it is RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-FORWARDED-SERVER} !^ssl-account.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://ssl-account.com/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

in config.php it is [...] 'overwritehost' => 'ssl-account.com', 'overwriteprotocol' => 'https', 'overwritewebroot' => '/cloud.mydomain.com', 'overwritecondaddr' => '^85.13.128.137$',

As I see there is an update available to 7.0.2 I will try this one and report back...

[BernhardPosselt]

The redirect issue was fixed in 7.0.1, maybe your config is off

[KolbenJoe]

I am still having my problem with 7.0.2 it seems....
