There is a syntax error in your config file.
Please post your config file here (WITHOUT all the confidential entries - so replace the values with ***) if you need help to correct it.

You can look around line 33. There should be the mistake somewhere.

Thanks , see below the config.php

$CONFIG = array (
  'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',
  'instanceid' => '***',

    0 => '*****',
    1 => '******',
  ),

  'overwrite.cli.url' => '******',
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',

Yes, here it is.
It should read:

'maintenance' => true,

Or if you would like to take your server out of maintenance:

'maintenance' => false,

thanks …but still same error.

Did you restart the web server?
If so: Even though you added the > you receive the same error message in the logs? Or does the log mention a different line? Different from “/var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php:33”?

Thanks for your assistance…the cloud is back fully.
