"NextCloudPlus not yet initialized, trying again in a few seconds ..."

My setup: NCP on raspberrypi with system and data on 128 GB SD card.

I installed NCP two days before and did a backup yesterday. After the backup, I was asked to create a new database, so I think I did the backup to the sd-card where my data was stored.

I wanted to reinstall NCP, the setup screen with the passwords appears, but clicking on "activate" leads to:
"NextCloudPlus not yet initialized, trying again in a few seconds ..."
Refreshing the page generates new passwords, but not to a successfull installation. I copied the image again with etcher to the same and another SD-card, but the error message remains.

I had the same error when I installed the package on a fresh debian stretch system. I tried with a 60 ssd and a 2T hard drive, both were installed with a fresh debian stretch and had same error.

Make sure you are using a good power supply and good SD card, double make sure, because this works

I used two different and new SD cards from Sandisk (128 GB) and a 3A charger.
I tried several times with the NCP image, which did not work. Then I downloaded debian stretch and installed via bash, whichs worked fine.

Think about it, thousands of users and this only happens to you?

I see this everyday, people never believe their HW is bad, but it is.

I had the same problems with a 128 GB Toshiba and a 64 GB Kingston SD-Card (both Class 10).
I tried the installation with a 32 GB Kingston and a 8GB Raspi B Rev.2 SD-Card and it worked instantly fine.

After Installation and Activation on one of the "small" SD cards I cloned it on the "bigger" ones and started the resizing manually (raspi-config --> advanced options --> expand filesystem).
Now everything works fine with the "big" SD cards.
