Removing index.php from URL doesn't seem to work for me

I’ve followed a number of threads like this one on the subject but can’t seem to get this to work:

Did you also try the official documentation? Installation on Linux — Nextcloud 34 Administration Manual

• I’ve added the lines to my .htaccess file

When I add htaccess.IgnoreFrontController => true to my config.php file, it does remove index.php from the URL. However, none of the CSS assets load, so the pages are all messed up.

In general, there should be no need to edit .htaccess manually, and you probybly don’t need to set htaccess.IgnoreFrontController => true, either, unless one of the conditions described here applies to your setup: Configuration Parameters — Nextcloud 34 Administration Manual

In most cases you just need to enable mod_env and mod_rewrite, and add the following to your config.php:

For an installation in the web root:

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://cloud.yourdomain.tld/',
'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',

Or, if Nextcloud is installed in a subdirectory of the web root:

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://cloud.yourdomain.tld/nextcloud',
'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/nextcloud',

Then run:

occ maintenance:update:htaccess

If that doesn’t work, please provide more information about your setup, ideally by filling out the Support Template.
