Hi folks! =)
This problem has plagued me for a few months already and I can't seem to find any similar cases anywhere.
An attempt to install any update (core or modules) via Backdrop's own web interface results in error:
- Error installing / updating - File transfer failed, reason //var/www/example.com/modules/[module name] is outside of the /var/www/example.com
Here's a screenshot:
This error is present on every Backdrop instance I'm managing, regardless of environment. IIRC this error started showing when core updates via web UI were incorporated into Backdrop (v. 1.12.0).
I've tried:
- Fixing file permissions -> no effect
- Updating the core manually (to 1.12.6) and then updating module(s) via web UI -> no results
- Using different PHP versions (7.1 - 7.3) -> makes no difference
I've also tried installing fresh Backdrop 1.11.4 (last version before enabling core updates), manually installing old version of imagesloaded module, and then trying to update that. This leads to a HTTP 403 error:
Failed to download imagesloaded from https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/imagesloaded/releases/download/1.x-1.0.1/imagesloaded.zip
Core versions 1.12.0 and above download modules correctly but fail to install them.
The (test) server is running Debian 9.8, Apache 2.4.25, MariaDB 10.1.37 & PHP FPM. Apache user & group owns all files, PHP FPM has same users.
Does anybody have any idea what to try next? I'm out of ideas.

AFAIK there is no option to customise the sorting of book pages:
Book child page ordering by nodeid
The ordering using titles is unusual because, in alphanumeric characters, "19." is smaller than "2." etc. This has nothing to do with Backdrop. I'm not sure I understand your question. Why...
Book child page ordering by nodeid
Thanks for the suggestions ! site/admin/reports/status/php reports that the OpenSSL module is present : PHP Version 8.3.17 ... OpenSSL support enabled OpenSSL Library Version OpenSSL 3.0....
Failed to get available update data
Maybe use 01, 02, 03...

You can easily check phpinfo() by going to the Status Report (admin/reports/status) and clicking the link against the PHP item:
