Using WebUpdater which fails with following output:

So please check the file permissions on your server.
You provide such less information about your environment so it is hard to help you.
You skipped the support template as well … 
…check file permission on server…that’s what the updater did and he did not has the permission!!!
Update directory shows “drwxr-x—”
Content of “.htaccess” does not say anything to me.
This version is based on “https://www.hanssonit.se/nextcloud-vm/”.
The OS is “Ubuntu Linux 18.04.2” running as VM on Windows.
I resized the maximum size and i am using LetsEncrypt for WAN access.
Yes, the may be the cause.
Which user is running the webserver? www-data?
Which webserver is used? Apache?
That is about the permission.
But who own the files? root?
Do ssh to your machine.
Go to “/var/www/nextcloud/” and type “ls -la” and show the output.
First of all: Thank you very much for your support.
Hope we find a way to speed up trouble shooting.
I think webserver is Apache, but don’t know the user who is running the server.
The demanded ls -la output:
