Hey EchoRPK,

did you try to clear your Browser-Cache? Do you have some Browser- and Nextcloud-Log for us?
For us, and e.g. https://github.com/nextcloud/forms/issues/832#issuecomment-794395610 , there is no Problem on the mentioned setup.

Greets,
Jonas

Yep Cached Removed. nextcloud log says nothing about forms. Browser says also nothing about Forms. Only a few Bootstrap Errors and:

activity-sidebar.js?v=406e3cfc-15:603 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'extend' of undefined
at activity-sidebar.js?v=406e3cfc-15:603

Or do you like the Calender Errors to?

😄 no, calendar is not of interest here.
Well - for me it works flawless. I just saw the issue for a short moment after update, but the second click worked (which is annoying but ok imo, server/cache might have to realise the new routes). Maybe some php-cache, which was still populated?
I'm sorry, but i have not even one ansatz where to look here. As far as i see, this setup should work, i don't even have an error-message by hand. 🤔 🤷‍♂️

[EchoRPK]

Ok after rebooting the server completly ist worked for me ;)

[jotoeri]

Ok, perfect 👍 Then i would strongly assume it was some php-cache. 😉

I'd like to revive this. I'm having this same weird problem. Browser gets a 302 response from /apps/forms/ and redirects straight into /apps/dashboard/

Previously shared form link works as expected, so I suppose the app is working fine in the background.

Tried rebooting the server, no help. No errors in logs that I can find. I have no idea what to try next.

[jotoeri]

Did you also clear your Browser-Cache? Do you have some Error-Logs?

Generally - for both of you - Please first give it a try on the forum for such stuff. https://help.nextcloud.com Especially if you don't have a clear Error-Message or clearly identified bug. Providing support is normally not, what should be done on the issue-tracker here.

[tlinna]

Yes, cleared cache and tried different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge). No errors in nextcloud log. No errors in Nginx log. This definitely started from the 2.2.0 forms update and only affects the forms app as far as I can see.

Nothing happens on the browser side before the redirect. No idea why it would happen suddenly after 2.2.0 update (we've been using a form from the previous version for a week or so).

Similar 302 redirect to dashboard happens with a nonsense apps url like /apps/asdf/

Cache issue seems possible, but could anything persist over a reboot?

Here's Nginx (1.18.0) access log for the page load.

[10/Mar/2021:13:31:33 +0000] "GET /apps/forms HTTP/2.0" 301 178 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.82 Safari/537.36" [10/Mar/2021:13:31:33 +0000] "GET /apps/forms/ HTTP/2.0" 302 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.82 Safari/537.36" [10/Mar/2021:13:31:33 +0000] "GET /apps/dashboard/ HTTP/2.0" 200 11551 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.82 Safari/537.36"

Nextcloud 20.0.8 running on Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS, PHP 7.4.3 and Nginx 1.18.0, using recommended Nginx config from some months ago.

[jotoeri]

I'm not a server-specialist, especially not on nginx configurations. If have no error to look for, i have no idea where to start. For support on your specific setup, please head over to the forum, where many users with different experiences will read it and could have an idea, how to solve.

[birefringence]

Same here with Nginx 1.14.2, PHP 7.3.27 and Nextcloud 21.0.0.

[tlinna]

Just to give an update... After a couple of reboots, couple reinstalls of the app, almost a full day, and preparing for emergency retrieval of responses, it suddenly started working by itself. Still no idea what was wrong or what fixed it. No idea what sort of cache could persist through all that... but sure, it _seems_ like a cache problem 😁

Sorry for the clutter

[jotoeri]

Just for reference - I now created a forum thread for support on this.
