Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 20.0.10.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 18.04 (upgraded from 16.04)
Apache or nginx version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 7.2

The issue you are facing:
I upgraded Ubuntu from 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 (self-hosted). When I visit the local ip address it gives a list of the web directory rather than nextcloud.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Start with working Nextcloud in Ubuntu 16.04
  2. Upgrade server using sudo do-release-upgrade
  3. Visit local IP address of server in web browser

I ran an adapted version of the strong permissions script, but I can still see files if I visit <localip>/apps/files/ or <localip>/data/<username>. What am I missing?

In the end it was an oversight on the directory name.

In my case I migrated from owncloud so my installation is still at /var/www/owncloud. I missed a reference to /var/www/nextcloud in nextcloud.conf. Here’s the corrected (for me) nextcloud.conf.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/owncloud/
  ServerName  cloud.example.com

  <Directory /var/www/owncloud/>
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews

    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
      Dav off
    </IfModule>
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
