If you cannot upload files to Seafile via Web UI, You can try the following steps to debug the issue

  • Check browser’s console to find the exact error
  • Verify that SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL and SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME are set correctly.
    Note, SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL and SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME should be consistent with the URL that you access your Seafile server from internet. If you use https://seafile.example.com to access Seafile service in your browser, you should set SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL to https and SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME to seafile.example.com.

Hi, thanks SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL and SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME are right.

(python-venv) seafile@fr4:/opt/seafile$ cat conf/.env | grep SEAFILE_SERVER
SEAFILE_SERVER_PROTOCOL=https
SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME=fr4.sisi-systems.ovh

The error come from nginx configuration.

rewrite ^/seafhttp(.*)$1 break; > wrong
