I’ve deployed Pydio Cells as a pod to the Kubernetes cluster with a MariaDB database and connected it to S3 as backend storage. After one week had passed since installation, I could no longer log in to it and got an `Unauthorized` error. I just found the following logs in the pod:

Hi @AliReza-Sagha

Could you please try to get cells’ logs for more info?

You may use this command: `kubectl logs cells-pod `

Hi @c12simple ,  
I’m the co-worker of @AliReza-Sagha , We faced this problem in the dev and prod environments. I could not upload the full log file here, so instead I’ve uploaded it to a GitHub gist:

Hi,

I seems that in your log, you have problem with sql connection starting from 2026-05-30T00:54:08.286Z

```

Where should I configure the `ReverseProxyURL`? Is that an environment variable, or should it be configured in a config file? I’m deploying Pydio Cell in a Kubernetes cluster as a deployment.

I’ve checked this too:

```  
$ ./cells configure sites  
The following sites are currently defined:  
±–±--------------------±-------±-----------------------------------+  
| # | BIND(S) | TLS | EXTERNAL URL |  
±–±--------------------±-------±-----------------------------------+  
| 0 | [http://0.0.0.0:8000](http://0.0.0.0:8000) | No Tls | [https://drive.dev.test.com](https://drive.dev.test.com) |  
±–±--------------------±-------±-----------------------------------+  
```

- You can edit CELLS\_WORKING\_DIR/pydio.json for ReverseProxyUrl
- Or use this command [cells configure sites - Pydio Documentation](https://docs.pydio.com/cells-v4/developer-guide/command-line-reference/cells-binary/cells-configure-sites/)
