[Solved] Raspberry pi 3B+ self hosted didn't work

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to get nextcloud 17 works on rasberry pi 3B+, I followed these guides :
maual_installation_Nextcloud
Blog_installation_nextcloud_fr

And I get this :

To me it seems to be a php error, am I wrong ?

I’m running on ubuntu 18.04.3 with php 7.2 :
php --version PHP 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 (cli) (built: Aug 12 2019 19:34:28) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.2, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

I check with php -m and I have all the modules indicate here : maual_installation_Nextcloud

Beside my index.php begins with
`/**
*

Is it a configuration problem then ?
if you need information please tell me :smile:

Hi,

This indicates that there is no PHP interpreter active on your server. PHP is not even handled on server.

Yes, definitely :wink:

This PHP “instance” is for the command line interface (cli) only, not for the web server.
So you might need to check later, if the same modules are active for the apache-php as well.

Maybe look for a more up to date installation guide for Nextcloud, which describes how to install PHP 7.2 or 7.3 with apache.
I’m not an apache user myself, but I think nowadays php-fpm is used for apache.

Well thank you, it works with php-fpm. :slight_smile:
What I did :
sudo apt install php-fpm
sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
sudo a2enconf php7.2-fpm
sudo systemctl reload apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Hello everyone,

I have got a similiar issue, but my setup is a bit different:

  • Raspberry PI 3B+
  • Nginx 1.10.3
  • PHP 7.3

I would prefer to use this config since the RPI is not so powerful and theses elements should be more efficient.
I have followed this documentation:
https://www.c-rieger.de/nextcloud-installation-guide-ubuntu/
and for the nginx configuration I have this:

upstream php-handler {
server unix:/var/run/nextcloud.sock;
}

server {
    listen                        80;

    server_name                   nextcloud.mycloud.com;
    return                        301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

When I go to the main webpage, the server provide the raw PHP file for download.
It seems that Nginx didnot linked the php module.
Any help could be greatfull :slight_smile:
