Continous PHP errors: inet_ntop() and inet_pton() #7090

@janis91 What is the remoteAddr in those cases? (see the log file) It is fine to replace some numbers/characters in there, but they should be the same (for example exchange a letter for a letter, or a digit for another digit, but don't replace a dot or a colon)

Maybe the nginx site config helps:

@janis91 All kind of problems have been reported in the past when you're using HTTP/2 to access Nextcloud. So my recommendation is to give HTTP/1.1 a try first, to narrow down the problem. See e.g. #6817 (comment)

janis91 · 2017-11-07T18:47:43Z

@j-ed if there are issues with http2 and nextcloud (the issues referenced by you seem to be solved) I don't get why the confiuration sample in the docs are for http2: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/installation/nginx.html
Beside that: my whole seever works and the performance is also really good for a raspberry pi (btw). There isn't an issue at all beside those annoying error logs I mentioned. They arenpolluting the whole log space.

j-ed · 2017-11-07T19:15:33Z

@janis91 It was only a shot in the dark from my side. As far as I see you haven't told us the architecture (Raspberry Pi) nor the Nginx version in your original issue ticket. How will you know that the issue I referred to has been solved on your system you're not hit by it?

Would it be possible that you also provide the exact error message from the log file?

janis91 · 2017-11-07T19:25:29Z

@j-ed There was no offense. I just think, that if it is really a problem with http2 it would be worth finding out the reason. http2 is much better in many different aspects, so IMHO nextcloud shouldn't lag support for it ;-) You're right that I missed to mention that I am on Raspbian and not on "real" Debian (from ssh it feels the same :-D ) and moreover I did not mention the nginx version, also right.
nginx/1.10.3
My guess is that it has something to do with the line
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $http_x_real_ip;
Originally I thought this line solves the issue, but it doesn't so my question is what could it be?

Thanks for your shot in the dark btw. :)

j-ed · 2017-11-07T19:41:08Z

@janis91 Due to the fact that the functions are used to convert ip addresses I'm still interested in the real log entries and also like to know if you're using an IPv4 or IPv6 address and how it looks like in detail.

janis91 · 2017-11-07T20:53:18Z

@j-ed which logs do you mean? I already posted entries from access.log of nginx and of nextcloud.log (corresponding ones). Should I activate the debug log level?
IPv4, at least I see that it's my IP

j-ed · 2017-11-07T21:01:06Z

@janis91 Sorry, my fault - The logs were folded and not instantly displayed.

janis91 · 2017-11-07T21:08:53Z

Obviously it goes through the ipv6 subnet function. why? Nginx is logging a IPv4 address.

j-ed · 2017-11-07T21:24:20Z

Yes, that's what I've found too. The function 'getIPv6Subnet' is called from 'getSubnet' because the IPv4 preg_match fails. You can try to add a debug print-out to one of the functions to get hold of the parsed ip address.

It seems the issue is that there is no remoteAddr set. Which is strange. Like it is filtered out.

It seems the issue is that there is no remoteAddr set. Which is strange. Like it is filtered out.

I thought that this was sanitised by the ticket owner? @janis91 Have you removed the remoteAddr from the logs?

janis91 · 2017-11-08T23:13:36Z

@MorrisJobke @rullzer No I didn't remove any value from the nextcloud.log entries. Everywhere I removed something I used "REMOVED SENSITIVE VALUE" in order to make that clear. Whereas I masked the IP values from the access.log not by removing them, instead I changed the numbers. Everything else is left original.

janis91 · 2017-11-10T06:48:25Z

It could be, that I fixed it. I will have to do some more tests, but it might be a confguration issue of nginx that took me there. I will come back with the fix later, if I made sure, that it works.

Fixed the issue. Finally my changes:
I changed one line in my nginx sites-available config:
FROM
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $http_x_real_ip;

TO
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
