VPS running nginx - using extensions

[Frederik10k]

Hei there!

I just installed a fresh phpBB 3.1.3. Now I want to install a few extensions. But whenever i try to open the extensionpage like www.mydomain.com/app.php/subway-options-panel I get a 404 Not Found.

I there a config of nginx which I have to fix?

I'm not an expert on this, but you need to put the rewrite rule to nginx config file like that

Code: Select all

try_files $uri $uri/ /app.php?$query_string;

I'm not sure where do you have the config file and thus where you'd be putting this line, this could be either the server block or location which is related to your phpBB board (the latter is preferred I assume).

Works like a charm.

Code: Select all

location /app.php {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /app.php?$query_string;
}

Apologies for bringing up an old topic.
