Problem with commandline install on Debian: SSL output filter write failed (Letsencrypt)

I did the install from nextcloud-22.1.0.tar.bz2 on a vendor VM, running Debian Buster, and already established a bare-bones apache2 server, TLD domain name, with Letsencrypt - all apparently functioning properly.

The Nextcloud install went smoothly, and everything seems to be working, but the login fields do not appear. I put apache2 in debug mode and this is what I see in the error log:

Could this be a bug of some kind? The machine seems to be configure properly…

This is a clue from the error log (I have apache logging set to"trace1" now):

What is “writing data to the network”? Is that normal?

I think this seems to be a problem with letsencrypt. I’m going to reinstall that and reboot…

from your screenshot in the other thread i derived that your webserver isn’t working correct. “the css files are missing”.

that could be very likely related to the error message with your ssl problems.

which howto did you use?
