Based on this forum you have to comment alias and configure DocumentRoot only: Security Scan: __Host-Prefix

If you have config for nextcloud directory only, you have to disable it and configure as virtual host. E.g.:

# cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nextcloud.conf
Alias /nextcloud /var/www/nextcloud/
Alias /javascript /usr/share/javascript/

<Directory /var/www/nextcloud/>
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  AllowOverride All

 <IfModule mod_dav.c>
  Dav off
 </IfModule>
 
 SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
 SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud

</Directory>

Run a2dissite nextcloud.conf to disable this particular config and reload apache2 should be enough to take new config: service apache2 reload
