Enable the rewrite and env modules in Apache: a2enmod rewrite a2enmod env Enable AllowOverride in the Apache config: vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Directory /var/www/ Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None ---- to All Require all granted /Directory Add RewriteBase "/" to the Nextcloud config: cd /var/www/html/ sudo -u www-data ./occ config:system:set htaccess.RewriteBase --value / NOTE that / should be where Nextcloud is installed; that can be /nextcloud, for example. And if you've configured your webroot to be /var/www/html/nextcloud it is / again sudo -u www-data ./occ maintenance:update:htaccess Restart the webserver: service apache2 restart Thanks to Lukas for the idea and how-to!
