Owncloud 8 -> "Not Found"

[psut...@gmail.com]

hi
i have an owncloud 8 server with a signed certificate. since i used foldersync so far through smb i wanted to continue using it with my owncloud setup. however, when i try to configure my server as owncloud server and i hit "Test" it always shows "Not Found" as a result. The same is true if i use "webdav" instead and enter https://myserver/remote.php/webdav

browsing my owncloud data through webdav works perfectly with ES File Explorer and the same settings, so i suppose there must be something that FolderSync does that causes problems.

can you shed some light on that? if you are interested i can setup an account for you to try it yourself.

I just solved the problem myself.

i am running multiple subdomains on the same ip address with ssl encryption. i redirect my incoming requests to subfolders of my wwwroot using mod_rewrite and based on the used domain names. this works of course only if every request sent to the server contains the FQDN. it seems that FolderSync does not send the FQDN on every request while ES-File Explorer does.

in order to fix that i created a link in the default directory where all unmatched requests would end up so that it will find owncloud again. has anyone tested this sort of behaviour with multiple virtual hosts using ssl on a single ip address? i suspect that you might have the same issue because apache would also need the domain name to distinguish which virtualhost the request belongs to.

so for anybody interested in a solution here is how i am doing it now:

DocumentRoot of my owncloud installation: /var/www/owncloud
DocumentRoot of my default virtual host: /var/www/pub
URL of owncloud: https://owncloud.mydomain.com/

i then created a symlink in the default DocumentRoot to link to the owncloud root:
# ln -s /var/www/owncloud /var/www/pub/owncloud
and a symlink within owncloud back to itself, so that even with the correct http header it will reach itself through the same url:
# ln -s /var/www/ownlcoud /var/www/owncloud/owncloud

now i simply use https://owncloud.mydomain.com/owncloud(/remote.php/webdav) as my server's url and it all works :)

hope this helps someone some day

Thanks for posting this. I have the same issue. But in my case I can't fix it as easily. My ownCloud server is behind a IIS server which handles SSL and passing the requests through. I posted in G+ and hope this can be fixed in the app.
