The issue you are facing:

Hello,

i’m trying to setup a virtual host for my self hosted nextcloud instance on my debian 11 home server.

But now when i try to reach the nextcloud interface (www.nextcloud.local) it’s not working (not found adress).

And if i type my old adress like http://server-ip/nextcloud, i got an error 404.

my nextcloud folder is located under var/www/.

here is my nextcloud.conf settings under etc/apache2/sites-available/

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName www.example.com

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        ServerName nextcloud.local
        ServerAlias www.nextcloud.local
        DocumentRoot /var/www/nextcloud

        <Directory "/var/www/nextcloud">
                Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

        SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
        SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,

        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        <IfModule mod_dav.c>

        </IfModule>
        # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
        # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
        # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
        # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
        # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
        #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

thanks for your help.

you may need to let all your clients know where they can find nextcloud.local by putting it in there HOSTS file or something.

also you should probably use http://server-ip without the /nextcloud as apache is already looking in /var/www/nextcloud/ and /var/www/nextcloud/nextcloud does not exsists theres a 404
