My Nextcloud instance started giving me a 403 Forbidden error message.
Output of occ status:

- versionstring: 24.0.3
- edition:

The issue you are facing:
The specific error is thrown: 403 Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access this resource. Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at URL Port 443 This started this morning and I haven’t changed anything in my config before this. The instance worked yesterday evening.
Currently I can not access anything on my Nextcloud. Not via the browser, not via GNOME integration and Android apps.
This error occurs on port 443, 80, access via domain and access via IP.
As I am currently not at home, I do not have access to ssh into the server. I have access to the webconsole and copied the following logs/files by typing.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Y

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

I have similar errors with
/var/www/nextcloud/index.php
/var/www/nextcloud/wp-login.php
Output errors in nextcloud.log in /var/www/ or as admin user in top right menu, filtering for errors. Use a pastebin service if necessary.
I do not find the nextcloud.log file, only my apache log file
My Apache config:
<Virtualhost *80:>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/nextcloud"
ServerName nextcloud.URL
<Directory "/var/www/nextcloud/">
Options MultiViews FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/nextcloud.log
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/nextcloud.log
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =nextcloud.URL
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</Virtualhost>
To me it seems like there is a problem with my *.php files, or my Apache config, but I do not know.
