Broken paths when upgrading Apache

Post by webcomics4life »

This is not support request. I am only posting for future reference should anyone else encounter the same problems. This applies to users running Apache 2.4.26 and PHP-FPM 5.6, 7.0, 7.1.

There is a slight change in how Apache 2.4.26 communicates environment variables to PHP-FPM. This change prevents phpBB from receiving correct path information. The solution is to add ProxyFCGIBackendType GENERIC to the Apache configuration file.

I've encountered following errors cause by this change.
  • No route found for "GET /install/app.php" error while attempting to install phpBB 3.2.
  • Links are broken if phpBB is placed in a subdirectory, "example.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php" -> example.com/viewtopic.php
  • Invaild paths to style sheets
