I'm still digging into this. It looks like during the rebuild process, apache downgraded from 2.4.17 (contains the needed code) to 2.4.16. This was announced by cpanel on 10/26 for the edge build, and on 10/27. The current version of easyapache builds the httpd 2.4.16 version. Here was their announcement to the edge users list:
=================================
Apache was upgraded to 2.4.17 in EasyApache build 3.32.3, which was released a couple of weeks ago on Oct 15th. After release, we observed issues caused by REDIRECT_URL being changed to server a full URL, rather than a relative URL / file path.
While some applications have started making changes to ensure their applications and plugins work with the changes, we feel that it’s better to revert Apache back to 2.4.16, and then re-release 2.4.17 after upstream fixes are in place. As such, we will be releasing EasyApache 3.32.4 tomorrow, Oct 26 with the aforementioned changes.
We recommend downgrading to Apache 2.4.16 if you are running into problems with REDIRECT_URL and mod_rewrite. Also, while cPanel doesn’t officially support http2 yet, we know some customers have been tinkering with it. If you downgrade Apache back to 2.4.16, this will remove the http2 and associated modules from the Apache stack.
Once Apache releases a fix for the major issues, Apache 2.4.17 will be patched and then released again.
=================================
It looks like easyapache is still in the 2.4.16 version, cPanel intends to release 2.4.17 as soon as possible after identifying and correcting the issue. The settings I added should pick up the build at that time as soon as it's available, as set in this file:
# cat /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/Apache2_4
--enable-http2
--with-nghttp2=/usr/local
However, it won't be possible to set that up today..
