Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 22.2.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Unsure, as this is a shared hosting;
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache 2.4.51
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.4.x
The issue you are facing:
After successively upgrading from NextCloud 19.x to 22.2.3, alternating between point-release upgrades and full versions, after the last upgrade, trying to load the NextCloud homepage yields an error 500:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable >to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@domain.tld to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y
Steps to replicate it:
- Upgrade from NextCloud 19 to latest 19.x point release
- Upgrade from 19.x to 20 [Repeat, until you reach the current 22.2.3 version]
- Upgrade all apps from outside NextCloud, as should be done after a core upgrade
- Try to open homepage

Interestingly, even when I turn on maintenance mode from the terminal, the same error 500 is displayed instead of the normal splash screen.
