Is it possible to install and use phpbb 3.3.x with nginx without having to setup try_files directives or have to rely on .htaccess files for apache webservers? Most CMS systems like WordPress support "pretty links" if the web server supports it (has try_files directives setup), but it doesn't force its usage. It's a configurable option that can be enabled at any time. I think by default, it would be best if phpbb worked without having to set these up. Is there a way to do this?
I'm trying to script "easy" installs for phpbb via a web server control panel, and having to set custom nginx directives is really making this more difficult than it needs to be...
My approach worked fine for phpbb 3.1.x, but I'm trying to support the latest version. Can fallback support be added in case the web server doesn't have .htaccess / custom nginx configuration support?
