PHP VERSION: 7.4
NEXTCLOUD VERSION: 11.0.3.2 is this and old version?

Nextcloud 11 has never supported PHP 7.4, the latest supported version was PHP 7.2. Additionally Nextcloud 11 has already been declared end-of-live in March 2018, so you won’t get any support for it. Please use the latest Nextcloud 19.0.1 version to install your server.

You find the version in /var/www/html/nextcloud/config/config.php .
If it is really Nextcloud 11 please re-install all.

If you’re going to install Nextcloud from scratch, you have to make sure that you’ve deleted any legacy database too.

And how do i delete everything from the database?

j-ed · August 20, 2020, 4:33pm

This depends a little bit on the database you’re using. If you e.g. use a MySQL database you can use the mysql command line tool or PHPmyadmin to access your database server and drop the database. The command would be DROP DATABASE nextcloud; if the database is named “nextcloud”.

Ok, now it works, thanks, but in overview i got a few more errors, it says that .htaccess is not working and that i’m missing user.ini file, how do i fix this, do i unzip nextcloud and just move user.ini and htaccess file to nextcloud directory on the server, because they are missing?
