Nextcloud version (eg, 12.0.2): 18.0.1.3
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 17.04): Debian GNU/Linux 9
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache 2.4.25
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.3
The issue you are facing:
My Nextcloud installation has been working fine since NC->13 NC15 -> NC16 -> NC17 -> NC18.0.1. It is set to channel “Stable”. I received an update notification so I went ahead with web based update. That however failed so I ran the update from CLI and it did throw a number of strange database errors but I manually changed the database columns it was finding to have already existing and then it went well. This was yesterday. I then restarted my instance and all was good and my instance appeared to have updated to the latest version. However, when I tried logging in this morning I started getting the following error:
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.
So I searched on forum and github, tried a number of things including but not limited to:
- maintenance:repair
- upgrade
- restarted the server a number of times
- checked the
nextcloud.logs- server logs - Nothing here at all - enabled debug mode -some level 3 errors but nothing relevant to the internal server error.
- Tried after disabling the mecached as per another post on this forum
- checked the disk space - There is plenty 10 Gig
- changed the mariadb.service as per this post
- checked the apache server logs - again nothing here - not even the log for screen refresh on browser where it throws same error as shown above.
The config.php is the same I have been using for previous installs and output of occ config:list system is as shown below:

"system": {
"passwordsalt": "***REMOVED SENSITIVE VALUE***",
"secret": "***REMOVED SENSITIVE VALUE***",

}
}
I have basically ran out of ideas on what else to troubleshoot and hence this cry for help.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes. Although I have had a few issues before but none where existing posts did not already have a solution or hint that helped me resolve my issue.
Steps to replicate it:
I do not have any idea how or why it happened. All I know is that everything was working fine until the upgrade from 18.0.1 to 18.0.1.3

For above errors - Like I said only Level 3 entries and some of them are from what changes I have mentioned I was doing to see if they fix the issue. Nothing else is in there that makes much sense with regards to the “Internal Server Error” issue.

Thing is these errors were only there because while making changes on config.php to add the line "htaccess.RewriteBase": "\/", I copy pasted from browser and it took incorrect quote which caused server to show above errors but before that there were only logs for core notice and such like so:

Interestingly, the android client seems to be connecting to the instance without any problem.
