Did you try to clear your browser cache, the javascript from v1 (passbolt.js) might be cached.
If that does not cut it could you check if there are any errors in the logs on the server?

This was the first thing I did. I have a number of JS errors in the console, cannot upload another image though lol. Here’s the link: https://imgur.com/a/6rQNwA2

Anything on the server? In /logs at the root of your passbolt directory.

Like I said, the error log is empty. This looks like a pure frontend issue. Same thing happens on my collegue’s Chrome browser. Mine is Firefox.

This was the first thing I did.

I thought you meant the first thing you did is clear the cache.
Did you clear the browser cache?

Yes, this was the first thing I did. Why does the steal.production.js trying to access http://localhostusers/me.json?api-version=v1&async=false ?

Well that sucks. I have to rollback to 1.6. I was really looking forward to the password grouping/tagging functionality.

It looks like you have a problem with your configuration. It’s trying to access “http://localhostusers/me.json”. Did you configure your fullBaseUrl correctly in passbolt.php?

The configuration is quite straightforward

‘fullBaseUrl’ => ‘https://passbolt.mytld.pl’,

Every script loads perfectly fine, you can check that on the attached console screen few posts earlier.

The problem seems to come from the <base href=“xxx” meta tags. In your case it probably outputs a href="http://localhost’, instead of the fullBaseUrl, for some reason. Can you confirm this?

2 more things to check:

  • git status should show that no files have been modified. Is that the case?
  • Could you check in your config directory if any file mentions ‘localhost’ somewhere? I don’t understand where this http://localhost comes from if your fulllBaseUrl is configured properly.

Deleting the extension is not required, the url is correctly configured there otherwise you would be able to login. Could you check the value of the base tag in the html page. (edit: @kevin beat me to it)

Base href is correct and points to <base href="https://passbolt.mytld.pl/">. If there was a problem with the base href, no scripts/images would have been loaded and as you can see by inspecting the load timeline, everything loads correctly.

[root@passbolt passbolt]# git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
(use “git add …” to include in what will be committed)

config/gpg/empty
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)

No files were modified (why would I?)

settings.json returns:

{“header”:{“id”:“17bb400c-147e-4f2d-be59-034aa73e891f”,“status”:“success”,“servertime”:1525769267,“title”:“app_settings_index_success”,“message”:“The operation was successful.”,“url”:“/settings.json”,“code”:200},“body”:{“app”:{“version”:{“number”:“2.0.5”,“name”:“Everyday Struggle”},“url”:“https://passbolt.mytld.pl/”,“debug”:0,“server_timezone”:“UTC”,“image_storage”:{“public_path”:“img/public”}},“passbolt”:{“edition”:“ce”,“plugins”:}}}

The only reference to localhost can be seen in app/bundles/passbolt.js:

function(){return{core:{components:[“EventBus”,“AppController”]},app:{debug:1,url:“http://localhost

Ok guys I followed the installation guide and used proposed nginx configuration and it started working properly. Sorry for bothering you.

No problem @michalz, we’re glad you figured it out.
