Good info, thank you!My guess based on the symptom is that the app.php-related rewriting going on in your NGINX configuration file is incorrectly configured. (i.e. What would be the .htaccess configuration file for some other web server types.)
Since you indicated just recently upgraded from 3.0.x, possibly the NGINX configuration just never has been setup or correct for the phpBB 3.3.11 forum since day one. If you did update your NGINX configuration in response to the phpBB 3.3.11 upgrade, possibly it hasn't correctly accounted for the /forum subfolder.
It brings to mind this post, out of many related to NGINX configuration. You might want to review your NGINX configuration file and the other NGINX-related topics here. If you still cannot come to a conclusion on your own, posting the current NGINX configuration file from your server is probably the next step. So that someone who is NGINX proficient could potentially identify something which isn't in line with expectations.
One other thing I want to point out is that you have other issues due to this, which will catch up with you eventually if the issue isn't fixed. Beyond just the Report or FAQ links not working, the pseudo-cron janitor links being generated by phpBB for your board are currently failing too. Meaning when phpBB has wanted to piggy-back on your visitors' sessions to run cron tasks like cleaning up the database, sending queued email or notifications, etc., those are all failing with 404 too and those cron tasks never run.
If cron tasks like cleaning up the sessions table is allowed to fail for long enough, it can lead to outright failures of the board, or at least it has in previous phpBB versions. So just a heads-up to not assume the current problem is only blocking accessing the FAQ link or other optional features. It's blocking some more important stuff too.
I will admit, this is my first time running Nginx, so I'm rather inexperienced. (Not that I was an Apache expert before either)
The site was running on Apache at my old host, but I followed the upgrade install process for phpbb where most of my files are fresh from the install files.
With that being said, I have not done and special configurations for Nginx. I can share my configuration file, if that would be helpful.
(also worth noting, there are no configuration files in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory)
But I should also mention that I run Wordpress for this site as well, so I'd need to make sure there's no conflicts with any configuration.
To be honest, I wasn't aware of the concept, but I will add this to my list to look into and resolve. Would it be an item related to this troubleshooting?Why haven't you enabledcookie_securewith your SSL certificate?
