[Fixed] Forgot Password Link 404 Error

Post by Dr_Doof »

Good timezone.

It appears that the "Forgot Password" Link on the login page is 404 Error.

Not only Forgot Password, but the FAQ link as well. Both of these links go to virtual routes instead of directly to php-files. Maybe there's others, I'm not up to date on current phpBB.

This means either .htaccess or the nginx config need to be updated, see also this post on the phpBB forum: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2551876

In the meantime, the following URLs can be used for this forum:

FAQ: app.php/help/faq
FP: app.php/user/forgot_password <- This one doesn't work directly, you'll need to edit the form's "action" as well. Then the submit does work.

Edit: I've not tested this myself, but as the Reset Password link also uses a virtual route, I'm guessing it has the same issue, which means you need to insert the /app.php/ in both the link and probably the form as well.

This issue has been fixed, it was indeed a routing issue. It went unnoticed because so few phpBB pages actually seem to rely on these routes.
