Nginx configuration leads to endless redirect loop

Question

So I\'ve looked at every sample configuration I could find and yet every time I try and view a page that requires ssl, I end up in an redirect loop. I\'m running nginx/0.8.5

Answer 1

For those who are searching desperatly why their owncloud keep making a redirect loop in spite of having a good configuration file, i've found why it's not working.

My config: nginx + php-fpm + mysql on a fresh centos 6.5

when installing php-fpm and nginx, default permission on /var/lib/php/session/ is root:apache

php-fpm through nginx store php session here, if nginx did not have authorization to write it fail miserably to keep any login session, resulting in an infinite loop.

So juste add nginx in apache group (usermod -a -G apache nginx) or change ownership of this folder.

Have a nice day.
