Nextcloud no database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed

I'm trying to install Nextcloud on Ubuntu 20.04 (Linux Mint) but when I execute the php occ command to install Nextcloud, it gives the error "No database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed" and then exists because of an underhanded exception.

The command I used, found at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/command_line_installation.html:

sudo -u www-data php occ  maintenance:install --database \
"mysql" --database-name "nextcloud"  --database-user "nc" --database-pass \
"password" --admin-user "admin" --admin-pass "password"

The output that I got:

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


An unhandled exception has been thrown:
Exception: Environment not properly prepared. in /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Console/Application.php:164
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/nextcloud/console.php(98): OC\Console\Application->loadCommands()
#1 /var/www/nextcloud/occ(11): require_once('/var/www/nextcl...')
#2 {main}

I am using MariaDB. The credentials are 100% correct.

I installed the "archive file" in apache, version 20.0.3

The UI in the browser gives me this error:

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

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

    Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server. 

Am I doing something wrong? What could be the problem here? Thanks!

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

MySQL and all php modules appeared installed correctly. Unknown cause at the moment.

Ok, lets try purging nextcloud and mysql, then reinstall nextcloud:

If system is critical, back it up 1st:

Then:

#You'll receive some errors regarding mysql not found on nextcloud removal, thats fine as DB is removed during mysql removal.
dietpi-software uninstall 86 114 

#Install Nextcloud
dietpi-software install 114

I am following this link to install ownCloud in Ubuntu 14.04 and faced following errors.

1. PHP modules have been installed, but they are still listed as missing?Please ask your server administrator to restart the web server.
2. No database drivers (sqlite, mysql, or postgresql) installed.

In order to resolve this I have followed ownCloud forum instruction but couldn't resolve.

I'm luckily still on 12.0.2, so thanks for writing before I would have
upgraded ;-)

The above error is thrown because of the maintainers, imho weird,
decision to add a hook to automatically upgrade the nextcloud
installation.[1]

Gd is disabled in php by default. So in default Arch installations this
hook fails.
However, gd can be activated in the /etc/php/php.ini file.

Anyways: I don't use the default php.ini ('php -c /folder/php.ini') file
for interfacing the instance and have all options disabled in the system
php.ini, which is why this will fail for me each time.

In any case, you can still just use it and go through the wiki article
[2] to read up on how to set it up.

Best,
David
