Could you check if you have the following libraries available in Apache?
mod_mysql, mod_xml, and mod_zlib

You'll need those, see: https://docs.joomla.org/Technical_requirements

Hi, I had changed my PHP configuration like this: "display_errors On", and this is my error detail:

Error: Call to undefined function Joomla\CMS\Language\simplexml_load_file(): Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file()

I'm going to check your recommendation.

Thanks.

I solved it:

Open a terminal and execute:

sudo apt-get install php7.2-mysqli
sudo apt-get install php-pear
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mysql
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
sudo apt-get install php7.2-json
sudo apt-get install php7.2-cgi
sudo apt-get install php7.2
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mcrypt
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Open your browser: and enter your URL. For example in my case: "http://localhost/mysite/", Joomla will redirect you to "http://localhost/mysite/installation/index.php". Follow the installation steps :)

Good to hear that you've solved it.

If you run into any other problems, I have installed somewhat more PHP libraries on my VPS:
mbstring, opcache, soap, xml, (and for Nginx server fpm)
