Yeah, that seems like a fatal error indeed.

Problem is, you shouldn't be using PHP 7.4 and custom configurations are not supported officially. Actually, updating to any other version than PHP 7.2 should be blocked: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/blob/master/nextcloud_update.sh#L54

Maybe I should add 7.4 there as well.

In any case, please revert to your latest backup and redo the process like this: sudo bash /var/scripts/update.sh

Because the installation was still working ...

$ update-alternatives --list php
/usr/bin/php7.2
/usr/bin/php7.4

Apache2 PHP7.4 Module was not activated

switch back to PHP7.2 ...

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phar /usr/bin/phar7.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phar.phar /usr/bin/phar.phar7.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.2
sudo update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.2

update script finished successfully

Great news! Thanks for the info.

Please uninstall PHP7.4 if it's not crucial to you.
