Android: Malformed server configuration

[micah]

I'm able to connect my android device to my nextcloud server. It logs in, and is able to load the top-level folder list. I can view the files on the server.

If I try to make a new folder there, or upload files, I am given the error, "Malformed server configuration".

I can use the web interface, and create folders, and upload files, without any problem.

http://192.168.1.45/remote.php/webdav brings up a htpasswd login box, if I login there, I see:

This is the WebDAV interface. It can only be accessed by WebDAV clients such as the Nextcloud desktop sync client.

http://192.168.1.45/status.php shows me:

{"installed":true,"maintenance":false,"needsDbUpgrade":false,"version":"13.0.0.14","versionstring":"13.0.0","edition":"","productname":"Nextcloud"}

Expected behaviour

It should properly create folders and files

Environment data

Android version: 7.1.2

Device model: SM-T700

Stock or customized system: LineageOS

Nextcloud app version: 3.0.1

Nextcloud server version: 13.0

I'm having trouble finding this file

[tigernero79]

in the config.php file under

'trusted_domains' =>
  array (
    0 => 'www.example.com,
1 => '192.168.1.45',
  ),
did you enter local ip is public ip?

no, my nextcloud server is on a local, non-public network.

Hi, I am facing the same exact issue. Can perfectly reach my NC via browser and upload/download with no issue. But when I do this via my Android phone, I get the "Malformed server configuration" problem

[thebitstick]

I am now facing this issue as well. NC Android reported "Malformed server configuration". NC Web works just fine. NC via WebDAV works just fine.
I have touched no configuration files in months, although the Snap I installed NC from has updated a few times.

[mpgoebel]

This started happening for me today as well.

I've also begun to get this. Autoupload seems to work generally, it's large videos that fail, but with no obvious failure log. Here is access.log for the attempts

I try to connect on Android my Threema Safe Backup (no large files involved, just a connectivity test), with the error message "malformed server response" on my NC 18.0.3.
Connecting via Windows Explorer work fine.
But curl in windows says:

Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotAuthenticated No public access to this resource., No 'Authorization: Bearer' header found. Either the client didn't send one, or the server is mis-configured, No 'Authorization: Basic' header found. Either the client didn't send one, or the server is misconfigured

access.log:

I'm getting the same error with a Docker setup.

[owenashurst]

Also getting the issue as of today. Have Nextcloud installed in Docker also.

Same error as everyone else. manual install on a raspi, I can use generally, but auto upload fails and the android client shows this malformed server configuration (Configuration Serveur Erronée in french). Failed uploads end up in the "try again zone" with unknown errors. Happens both with videos and pics.
App version 3.11.0 on lineage+microg, srever 18.0.3.0
Adding the public IPs (including v6) does not help.
I get a log error:

This happens when the auto-upload fails.

The path '/photos/files/1ce39e4e8e2816d35eebd98b2b80941a/0000000000000000-0000000001023999' does not makes any sense.

[AlexKalopsia]

Oh wow, I thought this was just me, hopefully someone from the team can look into this soon

[thebitstick]

Update: I can no longer reproduce this as my Nextcloud instance on Snap auto-updated.

[f4grx]

Note: I could get my failed files sent by RE-sending them manually, one by one. But the auto-upload was no happy with the existing entries, that kept failing in a loop. I had to remove them from the list.

The Malformed server configuration is still present but did not prevent upload. I susped there are different issues here.

[owenashurst]

I can confirm manually uploading works but auto upload complains of the
Malformed Server Configuration.

Also having the same problem. Malformed server configuration on Android
Nextcloud 18.0.3
PHP 7.3.13
CentOS 7

I just recently updated NC to v18.0.3
Not sure but have the feeling it started after that update.

[DrRSatzteil]

I can confirm upload issues: some files are successfully uploaded while others keep failing with "Unbekannter Fehler" (unknown error). The notification says "Fehlerhafte Serverkonfiguration" (Malformed server configuration)

NC 18.0.3
PHP 7.3
Apache2
Ubuntu 18.04

[benedetto]

I have the same. See my comment here: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/5459#issuecomment-612670096

Let us track this all in #5459
