I followed the steps in the tutorial on installing Nextcloud on an Ubuntu 18.04 server, but when I got to the last step I wasn’t able to configure Nextcloud because I got a 404 message. I’ve tried changing the ownership of the Nextcloud directory but I still get 404. Can anyone help?

    Hello,

    It’s possible the configuration file is wrong. Can you provide you it here in order to see if everything is correct?

    Alongside the configuration file, can you please confirm the following :

    Path to the root of your installation
    Ownership of the root folder
    Permissions of the root folder
    Have you created the database for the service

    Once we have this information, we should be able to further troubleshoot the problem.

    Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks for the help! Here’s the content of my config.php file, found in /var/www/html/nextcloud/config/config.php:

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'ocqwzk5v4jkq',
  'passwordsalt' => 'F49DxXdKC9Rfmao/FbDSpg8AXF87yG',
  'secret' => 'hNgBS5HBfGPwa4sYIf/lN/Bl0JV474LkxsciZITDNtN5hopU',
  'trusted_domains' => 
  array (
    0 => '192.168.1.101',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => '/var/www/html/nextcloud/data',
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',
  'version' => '15.0.10.0',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://192.168.1.101/nextcloud',
  'dbname' => 'nextcloud',
  'dbhost' => 'localhost:5432',
  'dbport' => '',
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => 'kwright',
  'dbpassword' => 'wizard',
  'installed' => true,
);

As seen above, the path to the Nextcloud root is /var/www/html/nextcloud. It is owned by the www-data user, and its permissions are 755. The database has been created, with the name nextcloud.

    Okay, I’ve been poking around a little bit. I looked at nextcloud/index.html and found a missing opening quote. I put it in and now I’m no longer getting 404; I’m just getting blank pages. I suppose that’s some sort of progress?
