Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 27.1.6
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): N/A (shared hosting)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 8.2
The issue you are facing:
Pretty url’s wont work. All url’s have /index.php/ in them.
I’ve never encountered this on other shared hostings or when doing VM installs.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Yes.
Steps to replicate it:
Copied Nextcloud over from other shared hosting where it works fine.
Modified the data path + data path in SQL
The installation works, but the presence of ‘/index.php/’ is annoying.
I’ve regenerated the .htaccess file using occ, but still no dice.

The config is quite simple:

I’m a bit at the end of my wits as to why it doesn’t work for this specific install.
