Summary of the issue you are facing:
I did a fresh install on Raspberry Pi. I used this guide: How to Setup a Raspberry Pi Nextcloud Server - Pi My Life Up. Apache works fine, PHP was a problem (8.4 didn’t work, 8.2 does). I installed and removed a few times until I got it right. Now I can see the web UI from NextCloud (before, the PHP code was not rendered).
As in the guide, I made a nexcloud db and user. But I get:
I restarted the server a few times, also restarted the raspberry to be sure.
Log entries
Nextcloud
Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.
There is nothing in the nextcloud.log!
Web server / Reverse Proxy
The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:
Doesn't seem relevant
I found this question for other versions of PHP, not this version.
EDIT:
php -m gives:

Sorry, but Gus obviously missed telling you to read the nextcloud admin documentation and read carefully the error message: Believe it - you are your server administrator, you have to install the modules, it is not up to us.
There in step 4 you install the different php modules. The current raspbian (if it is based on debian bookworm) should then support php 8.2 out of the box (no external modules required).
With apt-cache search package-name you can search for packages (you can just search for parts of the name). Especially if tutorials are updated, package names can change slightly.
I don’t see curl, simplexml, …
so they are really missing. For the webinterface, make sure to restart apache (php -m from command line starts php directly, and the configuration might slightly differ from what is run through the webserver. In /etc/php*/, you have a cli config for command line, and apache2 for the apache module).

I checked it again, my NextCloud version is 30.0.4.
I tried with PHP versions 8.3 and 8.4, but if I tried those, an example.php page wouldn’t show in my browser (although if I looked at the source code, it was there).
I don’t understand to much of that, but since 8.2 is recommended in the guide I used, I went back to that version. Do you think the version of PHP can cause the error?
This file: /etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini doesn’t exist on my system. /etc/php/8.2/apache2/php.ini does.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what to do with this.
I clearly installed everything as in the guide, and also what is mentioned in this thread, but somehow the modules are not there…
They are not seen, not found, … ?
Somewhere, I so mention of data/www and data/www/html. Could it be Nextcloud is in the wrong directory?
Yeah, I know about that.
But I use the same Raspberry Pi voor Syncthing and Jellyfin (I first tried those, to see how it went using it as a server). I also configured Caddy to have a secure connection to Jellyfin.
I guess I could first install Nextcloudpi and later add Syncthing and Jellyfin… maybe if I have to much spare time, but for the moment I’m happy with how those are configured. (Syncthing is really easy and fast, but with Jellyfin I had a some trouble setting it up).
The guy from PiMyLifeUp is Emmet, from NextCloudPi is theCalcaholic/Tobias Knöppler, who’s Gus?
I’m not sure if this helped, but I upgraded again to PHP8.3.
Then I installed these extra parts:
sudo apt install php8.3-mysql php8.3-mbstring php8.3-gd php8.3-curl php8.3-zip php8.3-xml
Some of them where already there, but not all of them.
sudo apt install php8.3-zip php8.3-dom php8.3-xml php8.3-mbstring php8.3-gd php8.3-curl php8.3-simplexml
Again, some where there, but not all of them.
So some modules didn’t install by just following the guide.
I noticed, while switching from one PHP-version to another, that somehow, although you seem to copy-paste the same components, adding and removing, still leftovers stay and others don’t get installed fully. Strange.
EDIT:
After getting into the UI, I still had a lot of errors in the overview settings. did helped fixing those:
I was still missing some modules, it’s recommended to also install these: sudo apt-get install php8.3-gmp php8.3-bcmath php8.3-intl
For the “Your web server is not properly set up to resolve /nextcloud/ocm-provider/.” error and the "Your web server is not properly configured to resolve “/.well-known/webfinger” it was enough to do: sudo a2enmod rewrite
You also need to install later: sudo apt install redis-server php8.3-redis
