The issue you are facing:
Hi, after completing the configuration of nextcloud server on my RPi4, I wanted to correct the errors that were present in the summary. To do this, among other things I added some parameters to the config.php file (like my domain ddns, memcache and phone region). After this I reloaded Apache2 and from that moment I cannot access the server anymore due to the attached screen. Is there anything I can do or do I need to reconfigure all over again?

Nextcloud
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. connect to NextcloudServerIP/nextcloud
  2. White screen with internal error shown

Hi @m9quattro

Yeah, funny what a missing , can do to your server. :wink:

So I would recommend:

'default_phone_region' => 'IT',

Best, Bernd

Yeah, despite having read it several times, I hadn’t noticed it, thank you very much. From a solved problem, now another has been created. Basically trying to fix the memcache problem, I changed something too much based on a configuration I had on another rpi. Now if I connect to the nextcloud page, it tells me that it is impossible to reach the page and that the server has refused the connection …
