403 on virtual host

[DynamicArray]

Have set up OLS on Ubuntu 22, but seem not to have the permission settings correct on my docroot folder/files.

I've matched ever setting to the Example vhost, but get a 403 error when visiting the site. If I point the listener at Example, it works.

Also, if I change the DocRoot to a non-existent folder, I get (as expected) a 404. Point at the real one, and it's 403.

What's best practice for folder/file ownership when installing vhost folders under lsws?

Or could something else be wrong?

No-one else had this issue?

HI,
This one should help you to set up a virtual host with the correct permission, https://docs.openlitespeed.org/configuration#set-up-virtual-hosts
The document root permission will depend on you, if the server runs with www-data, then you can just use it. If you have multiple users with different user/group, then the setup will be slightly different.

About 403, you might want to check the error log, it should give you the 403 reasons.

Thank you very much for the link.

I've followed those steps and created a new VH - with the docroot in my /home/ubuntu/www folder.

However, I have the same 403 error. Which log do I look in for more info on this? Neither lsws/logs/access.log or lsws/error.log contain anything that gives me a clue.

This is in my errror.log:

I've tried changing my "running as" under server settings to www-data (the same as the folder/file ownership) but no joy.

If static file response 403, then it's not PHP related. Could you send the issue to support@litespeedtech.com with this forum post appended?
