Please post details. Which installation guide do you use?

Here my favorite installation guides.

[Ubuntu 20.04 with nginx](https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ubuntu-nginx-nextcloud/)

[Debian 10 with apache2](https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-debian-10)

You can combine both e.g. Ubuntu with apache2.

Do you have some errors and logs? Are all services active and listen on the tcp ports?

No. In normal installations you only need apache2 or nginx.  
Does the webserver works? Look in the apache2 logs /var/log/apache2 …

`tail -f /path/to/logfile`  
or  
`sudo tail -f /path/to/logfile`

Then you see in realtime new entrys while accessing the service.

` man tail`  
`tail --help`

Please increase your linux and gnu knowledge.  
On server failure you will need it.

Sorry. I do not know the location. Search.

```
sudo find /var -name "access.log"
sudo find /var -name "error.log"

man find
find --help

Looks like there is more missing.

If Apache is installed without changing the configuration you will have access to it using the IP of that device.  
Is it in your local network or on a remote server?

I assume by ‘installation’ you mean installation in Ubuntu? How did you install Nextcloud?  
Did you create a database? Do you already ‘see’ nextcloud when you go to the ip address?

Make sure you have the right ip address. Go to your router and look for the list of attached equipment there you find the right ip-address for sure. if you are at the right address something is going to be seen. Make a snapshot with Windows and post the photo. Then we can make the next step.
