Summary of the issue you are facing:

[NExtcloud 34.0.0 gets installed successfully and the installer redirects to /index.php/core/apps/recommended which throws following error.

]

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Downloaded Nextcloud zip package from official website. https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-34.0.0.zip

  2. Extracted on a server and started manual installation.

  3. The installation runs successfully and redirects to recommended apps section.

  4. That page throw an error.

/data/nextcloud.log is empty at this time.

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

PASTE H$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => '************',
  'passwordsalt' => ******************************
  'secret' => '************************************************',
  'trusted_domains' => 
  array (
    0 => 'domain.com',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => '/home/user/nextcloud3400data',
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',
  'version' => '34.0.0.12',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://domain.com/manual/nextcloud3400',
  'dbname' => 'nextcloud3400',
  'dbhost' => 'localhost',
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'mysql.utf8mb4' => true,
  'dbuser' => 'oc_oc_admin',
  'dbpassword' => '*******',
  'installed' => true,
  'maintenance' => false,
);

Perhaps outbound connectivity? Though I’d expect a nextcloud.log entry in that case.

Check the web browser console as noted in the support template.. When that error is generated by the front-end there are additional details about the error in the browser console.
