Summary of the issue you are facing:
settings/admin/overview shows
-
Could not check that the data directory is protected. Please check manually that your server does not allow access to the data directory. To allow this check to run you have to make sure that your Web server can connect to itself. Therefore it must be able to resolve and connect to at least one of its `trusted_domains` or the `overwrite.cli.url`. This failure may be the result of a server-side DNS mismatch or outbound firewall rule.
-
sudo -u apache php occ setupchecks -vvv

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted textformatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
