Update: Turned out I had like 3 versions of php and 2 versions of postgres all installed in different places and fighting like animals. Cleaned up the mess, fresh install of php and postgres, restored postgres data to the database and bobs your uncle. What a mess.

Thanks to everyone who commented. Your input is always so helpful.

Original Post

Hey everyone, it's me again. I'm now on NGINX, surprisingly simple, not here with a webserver issue today though, rather a nextcloud specific issue. I removed my last post about migrating from Apache to Caddy after multiple users pointed out security issues with what I was sharing, as well as suggesting caddy would be unable to meet my complex hosting needs. Thank you, if that was you.

During the NGINX setup which has gone shockingly smoothly I moved all of my site root directories from /usr/local/apache2/secure to /var/www/

Everything so far has moved over nicely... that is until nextcloud. It's showing an "Internal Server Error" when loading up. When I check the logs in nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log it informs me nextcloud can't find the config.php file and is still looking in the old apache webroot. I have googled relentlessly for about four hours now and everything I find is about people moving data directories which is completely irrelevant. Does anyone know how to get F*%KING nextcloud to realize that config.php is in /var/www/nextcloud/config where it belongs? I'm assuming nextcloud has an internal variable to know where it's own document root is but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for any tips.

Cheers
