Unable to start the wizard

Hello there.

After struggling a lot, I was finally able to make a local installation of nextcloud.

I followed these guides, and got helped by the following questions:

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/admin_manual/installation/example_ubuntu.html

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/not-found-the-requested-url-was-not-found-on-this-server/66078/4

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/solved-nextcloud-installation/20546/7

There are some more but the forum won’t let me share them.

However, when I go to localhost/nextcloud on the browser, I get the following:

Error

No database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed.

PHP module zip not installed.

Please ask your server administrator to install the module.

PHP module dom not installed.

PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?

Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.

Any ideas of what could be happening?

Thanks

You must install some packages. Perhaps you missed them. Compare with your installed packages. Use e.g. “dpkg -l”

apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php mariadb-server php-xml php-cli php-cgi php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd php-curl php-zip wget unzip

You can combine the tutorials. E.g. Debian with nginx or Ubuntu with apache2.

hey @locaso1
welcome to the forum and thanks for your first contribution on here.

some installation process found out that there’s missing a lot of stuff in your installation.
you should install all the missing php-libraries to your instance… aunt google or uncle duckduckgo would know how to do that… it’s easy. correct syntax is depending on your installed OS (and php version)
