Issue Nexcloud, webdav, upload error for a specific file

[Bruno21]

Hello,
I've a crazy problem with NextCloud (installed using Plesk's extension) and WebDAV.
I can't upload a simple 2 ko file specifically named 'readme.txt'
Got this error:

2020-09-20 11:13:49

Error

86.235.xx.yy

403

PUT /nextcloud/remote.php/webdav/readme.txt HTTP/2.0

146

Accès SSL/TLS Nginx

Rename the file to 'readme 2.txt' and I can upload it successful.

2020-09-20 11:10:30	Access	86.235.xx.yy	200	GET /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/bruno/readme 2.txt HTTP/1.0			1.86 K	Accès SSL/TLS Apache

No problem for all other files.

I accept all suggestions before I go crazy ;-)

I found

        location ~* "(?:wp-config\.bak|\.wp-config\.php\.swp|(?:readme|license|changelog|-config|-sample)\.(?:php|md|txt|htm|html))" {
                return 403;
        }

in /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.fr/conf/nginx.conf

How to exclude *readme* from this rule ?

I think that you need to change the Nginx settings for static file proxying. Instead of choosing the automatic proxying of static files, choose the manual proxying and omit the .txt ending in the list for files that Nginx shall handle and not pass on to Apache. This can be done in the Apache & Nginx webserver settings (icon) on the websites & domains page.
