hello,
i installed pihole and nextcloud via dietpi-software. my webserver is lighttpd, and i have a ddns with no-ip. now when i try to acces nextcloud from within my network i get always redirected to pihole/admin. when i use wan ([http://ddns/nextcloud](http://ddns/nextcloud)) i get 404 not found. accessing pi-hole from outside is 404 forbidden, which is fine.
i’m sure i got some adjustments to do int the lighttpd config files, but i dont know where or how.
is there any simple step by step tutorial i can use to make nextcloud accessible for me over wan, while accessing pi-hole from within lan?
thank you very much

Usually both are running fine next to each other. Did you do a PiHole repair in the past? This usually overwrite our DietPi configuration.
Can you share following
```nohighlight
cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
```

hello,
this is my lighttpd.conf file (sorry i just copy/pasted it, didn’t know how else to do it), within the file there are a few lines between the asterik signs, that i copied in. i think i found that in a topic on this forum, not sure though.
i don’t recall having done any repair on pihole…

Yes this is the PiHole own configuration and not the DietPi one. Just to be sure, you installed PiHole from
```nohighlight
dietpi-software
```
catalogue?
I can copy our config file later the day as I’m out right now and just online using my mobile

i did try some things, like lighty-enable-mod simple-vhost and lighty-enable-mod owncloud… though. but i didn’t work before either…
thank you for helping!

As I told, your web server configuration file is an incorrect one. It has been overwritten with a PiHole specific one. This is now preventing you from access Nextcloud. I will post the correct file later the day. Next to this, you would need to forward port 443 as well if you like to enable HTTPS in your web server.
But first things first, let’s correct the web server configuration before doing other thinks like HTTPS

I just saw you had both config files active 🕶
```nohighlight
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Jun 20 12:18 99-dietpi-nextcloud.conf -> ../conf-available/99-dietpi-nextcloud.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jun 20 13:18 99-dietpi-owncloud.conf -> ../conf-available/99-dietpi-owncloud.conf
```
But this is fine in this case
