Package: phpbb2
Version: 2.0.18-2
Severity: normal

/etc/phpbb2/apache.conf contains settings for the
/usr/share/phpbb2/site/ directory, in a <DirectoryMatch> directive.  The
way this directive is included, it doesn't hold for directories beneath
/usr/share/phpbb2/site/, such as /usr/share/phpbb2/site/templates/

This becomes a problem if there is a default setting which conflicts
with phpbb2, such as (in my case) not having FollowSymlinks enabled.
This causes all templates to break.

Simply changing the directive to <Directory> instead of <DirectoryMatch>
solves the problem in my case.  I tried to make <DirectoryMatch> work
like so:

<DirectoryMatch /usr/share/phpbb2/site/.*>

but that didn't do it.  This works for me:

<Directory /usr/share/phpbb2/site/>
