I'd "downgrade" to 1.2.9 instead of 1.2.8 if I was you. I've had to take almost all my sites back to 1.2.9 for different reasons. One of them I could NEVER get the SSL to work reliably. Regressed back to 1.2.9 and the exact config worked perfect. One of the WordPress sites I have set up for a VPS would not display reliably. Regression back to 1.2.9 solved that also.

One of two reasons probably.
Either you didn't copy your structure for your forum/site over to the /lsws/DEFAULT/html location
or
You didn't change your index file to index.php from index.html in the vhost setting.
