Wrong PHP Version?

I’m trying to do a fresh install of Nextcloud and I’ve managed to untar the files and go thru the apache config listed in the Installation Manual. When I go and visit the Nextcloud page to finish installation, the blockquoted page below is shown instead of anything functional.

I’m running Debian 8 Jessie (Raspbian technically) and it has PHP 5.6 installed. The manual says that I need only PHP 5.4, so I thought I’d be good. I tried installing ownCloud from their repositories in the hopes of migrating to Nextcloud from that instead, but I ran into the same issue. Do y’all know what’s going wrong here?

Nevermind. It was an issue of uBlock Origin on Firefox messing with something. I disabled it and was able to go thru installation fine.
