spreed-webrtc fails to start with nextcloud 10.0.1 autogenerated config

[chaos-prevails]

Hello, I have ubuntu 16.04 amd64 with nextcloud 10.0.1 and installed the stable spreed-webrtc (0.28.1) (unstable 0.29 didn't work either).

What I did is:

1. install spreed from repository: [https://github.com/strukturag/spreed-webrtc/wiki/Ubuntu-Repository]
2. enabled modules and configured virtualhost for spreed (added the config to my nextcloud virtualhost configuration, see below) [https://github.com/strukturag/nextcloud-spreedme/blob/master/doc/example-config-apache.md]
3. enable spreed app in nextcloud
4. copy the autogenerated configuration to /etc/spreed/webrtc.conf
5. restart spreed-webrtc -> fails, result in /var/log/syslog:

...

As soon as I copy back the initial webrtc.conf (from the apt install), the spreedserver starts fine (nmap shows a service running on 8080)

So there is something wrong in the autogenerated config.

https://MYNEXTCLOUD.org/index.php/apps/spreedme/admin/debug:

 Spreed.ME Version 0.3.4

Ran test #1 (testOwncloudPhpConfigFile):

Ran test #2 (testOwncloudJavascriptConfigFile):

Ran test #3 (testSpreedWebRTCAPI):
   Error: Unable to connect to WebRTC at https://MYNEXTCLOUD.org/webrtc/. Did you set a correct SPREED_WEBRTC_ORIGIN and SPREED_WEBRTC_BASEPATH in config/config.php?

Some tests failed. :(

My settings (in the nextcloud DB, as I didn't rename the apps/spreed/config/config.php.in file SPREED_WEBRTC_ORIGIN is set to empty (setting it to :8080 doesn't change a thing) SPREED_WEBRTC_BASEPATH is set to /webrtc/

Please try if adding this block to your Spreed WebRTC server.conf helps:

[http]
root = /usr/local/share/spreed-webrtc-server/www

This is only required if the Spreed WebRTC server is installed via the Ubuntu package.

Actually, it's

root = /usr/share/spreed-webrtc-server/www

Any news on this @chaos-prevails?

Dear Leon,

I haven't had the opportunity to test anything furter. First, I switched to NC 11 and second I (temporarily) disabled the spreed-webrtc. It is still on my agenda but not in the next weeks, probably more in the next months.
