This works on CentOS **7**!

Add this to your config.php

`'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/'` (Path depends on your configuration - maybe `/nextcloud`)

Update htaccess with the occ command  
`sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:update:htaccess`

Make sure all modules are enabled with  
`cat /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/* | grep mod_env`  
and  
`cat /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/* | grep mod_rewrite`

The output line should not start with `#`

I also restarted my httpd  
`systemctl restart httpd`
