Which php version is being used for Nextcloud? I don’t think (but I am not sure) that Nextcloud 13 is compatible with php 7.2

I have php 7.2 and no problems.
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/installation/system_requirements.html#working-platforms
" * PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2 required"

Did you enable the php-modules for apache?

You could also try to identify which php-version your nextcloud is using:
https://yourcloud.example.com/ocs/v2.php/apps/serverinfo/api/v1/info

This is my a2enmod command output (dont know what exactly means)

you wrote in your first article “with php 7.0 and 7.2 installed” You should try:
a2dismod php7.2
a2enmod php7.0

Thanks Peteman52. It actually worked.

I had to disable both PHP7.0 and 7.2 and then enable PHP7.2 modules (had the same problem enabling PHP7.0).

sudo a2dismod php7.0
sudo a2dismod php7.2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo a2enmod php7.2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
