New FreePBX 17 Installation on fresh Debian 12

The main issue with nginx is that it doesn’t support the .htaccess files that FreePBX deploys. So for proper segmentation/security you need to implement the rules yourself in nginx config.

nginx+php-fpm is considerably faster in my experience, probably because it doesn’t have to process .htaccess on every request (among other reasons).

This is the exact same problem I posted about a while back. Never got a clear answer on it. The client has pushed the install back until next month so it’s on the shelf now. I’m hoping that when it is time to install it the problem will be resolved. So far, not looking that way.
