Hello @Rodriguez :-)

You can updat your phpBB with that change, you must change that in includes/startup (in the update folder, so you must make that change in /install/includes/startup.php)

Search :
Code: Select all
		unset($GLOBALS[$varname]);
	}

unset($input);
}
And paste after :
Code: Select all
/**
 * Check if requested page uses a trailing path
 *
 * @param string $phpEx PHP extension
 *
 * @return bool True if trailing path is used, false if not
 */
function phpbb_has_trailing_path($phpEx)
{
	// Check if path_info is being used
	if (!empty($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) || (!empty($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']) && $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] != $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']))
	{
		return true;
	}

	// Match any trailing path appended to a php script in the REQUEST_URI.
	// It is assumed that only actual PHP scripts use names like foo.php. Due
	// to this, any phpBB board inside a directory that has the php extension
	// appended to its name will stop working, i.e. if the board is at
	// example.com/phpBB/test.php/ or example.com/test.php/
	if (preg_match('#^[^?]+\.' . preg_quote($phpEx, '#') . '/#', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
	{
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

// Check if trailing path is used
if (phpbb_has_trailing_path($phpEx))
{
	if (substr(strtolower(@php_sapi_name()), 0, 3) === 'cgi')
	{
		$prefix = 'Status:';
	}
	else if (!empty($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']))
	{
		$prefix = $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'];
	}
	else
	{
		$prefix = 'HTTP/1.0';
	}
	header("$prefix 404 Not Found", true, 404);
	echo 'Trailing paths and PATH_INFO is not supported by phpBB 3.0';
	exit;
}
If after your board doesn't work anymore, just do the same modification in includes/startup.php :-)
