Hi Jelo,
I didn't raise it in Bugtracker, but I did raise a support ticket. Its not really a Limesurvey bug, its more about the configuration of the specific server. hence why DenisChenu and I have documented it here as a pointer to others that have issues.

Mine is now working beautifully

Can be only a "documentation" issue, since we can't fix it in LimeSurvey code.

If you find a good place ?
Unsure

www.limesurvey.org/manual/General_FAQ#Ho...to_get_a_shorter_URL is outdated.

@marcgold : did you check with other part for security ? fu_ and (php|cgi…) ?

Good idea @DenisChenu - I will add it to bugtracker and hope the team will add it to the documentation.

I have added in all the changes you suggested and all working well.

The issue is about what is shipped as default htaccess and other help files (user and nginx to add) with the core distribution.

Later the installchecker / sitehealth checker could than inform about missing redirections too.

…

htaccess are inside LimeSurvey directory.
nginx configuration is totally outside …

Adding some test for
1. Testing if fu_ files can be readed
2. Testing if a cgi/php file can be exexuted in upload seems to be a good idea.
