What I did:
I wanted to update from nextcloud 15.0.10 to 16.0.3.
But the update button didn’t appear dispite the update message…
I guessed (and read) that the problem were about php version (it was php7.0)
I updated php with a little “apt install php7.3”
Then I had the issue.
I did “apt install php7.3-curl”.
The installation seemed to be ok.
I reloaded apache2…
And then same issue…
Are you able to help me ?
Thank you

I’m seeing trusted domain errors too. Are you accessing it via an address different than what’s in your trusted_domains array? I’m also seeing the web server is unable to find some files. Are your permissions correct? Finally, I think the php curl module relies on the curl(1) application. Make sure it’s installed since Debian doesn’t come with it by default

apt install curl

Thanks for your help.

  1. I’m not accessing to my nextcloud with an address which isn’t in the trusted_domains array.
  2. The errors seems to be some robots that trying to launch random script names. These files doesn’t exist.
  3. I did “apt install curl”, and debian answered that I had the last version of curl.

So I guess that the problem is somewhere else… too bad…

Perhaps your php module isn’t being properly loaded? Did you reload or restart apache?
