<p dir="auto">Initially Cloudron was working fine, then I added volumes to it and applications, and problems arose.<br />
Cloudron is running inside vmware workstation pro, with volumes mounted.<br />
Volumes are accessible by command line, and on Cloudron Web GUI they show as a green circle, but when I click 'open file manager' not all show content, even if I wait. I believe the errors below started presenting after adding volume, but I do not know if it is coincidence or it is linked, so let's hold our thoughts for now.</p>
<p dir="auto">Adding/Starting/Installing any app now gives me NGINX errors. If I restart Cloudron, it seems for a bit it allows me to install those apps that were failing.<br />
Restarting Cloudron gives NGINX errors, and I have to manually, each time, execute the following:</p>
<pre><code>cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx/applications/config-that-was-failing-on-errorlog.conf
sudo systemctl start nginx
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Adding/Starting/Installing apps shows the following:</p>
<pre><code>Task Error
If a configuration, update, restore or backup action resulted in an error, you can retry the task.
An error occurred during the start app operation: Nginx Error: Error reloading nginx: reload exited with code 1 signal null
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">An App was showing <code>Error : Nginx Error - Error reloading nginx: reload exited with code 1 signal null</code>, and when looking at the logs it initially errored, but then it started, so I manually navigated to the page and it work, despite Cloudron always and still showing it as errored, and not being able to access from the Cloudron Homepage. What can I do?</p>
<p dir="auto">Here's the error shown in error.log for most apps related to nginx:</p>

<p dir="auto">It's getting quite annoying, and I hope you can help to fix it, as you can read there are multiple problems, thanks in advance.</p>

Do you see anything suspicious in that one, like some encoding issue or is a special non latin1 domain used for those?</p>
<p dir="auto">Further, have you added custom nginx configs which may be included and confusing the system?</p>
<p dir="auto">Finally if you want us to take a direct look at your server, please enable <a href="https://docs.cloudron.io/support/#remote-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">remote support</a> send us a mail with your dashboard domain and reference to this thread to <a href="mailto:support@cloudron.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">support@cloudron.io</a></p>
