Fresh Install - Internal Server Error for users, but not admin

šŸš§ Installation
1

Hi there, I have a fresh install of Nextcloud 11.0.1.2 running on Ubuntu 16.04 (on an AWS EC2 instance). it is using PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 on Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu). I have gone through and ensured all the required modules are installed (and that seems fine).

Now I can log in with my admin user without any issue. I then added a new user and attempted to log in to the web interface. It appears to log in fine, but once Iā€™m at the `https://my.domain.com/apps/files/.ā€™ I get an error stating:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.

More details can be found in the server log.

I then as the admin look into the log file, and I can see:

I have been googling around for quite some time, but I have had no luck.

Thank you.

Can you output your apache log in /var/log/apache2/error.log after trying to login?

3

I think Iā€™m getting the same error as OP, what level of error logging do you need to see? If I have it set to warn then no error shows and if I set it to debug then the log is 800+ lines after 1 request.

Thanks in advance

An internal error should be present in the Apache (maybe nextcloud also) logs.

Where are you setting the verbosity?

It looks like there are 2 errors in the nextcloud log. One of them is the same as OP and the other is different

This is my apache log. I was setting the verbosity in httpd.conf, it was set at info for these logs.

This is my first time trying to host a web server so Iā€™m still trying to get my head around it all but it seems to me that the error is with nextcloud or maybe something to do with my SSL setup?

Thanks in advance
