Virtual Host Root outside $SERVER_ROOT gives 404 error

Hello,

On a CentOS 6.5 server running OLS (I've tried both v1.2.9 & v1.3.2) I've created a new user named "test" (this is just an example) as well as a public_html folder inside.

Then I created a phpinfo page at /home/test/public_html/phpinfo.php

Using the "PHP_SuEXEC" Virtual Host Template, I created a new Virtual Host with the following settings:
Virtual Host Name: test
Domain: test.com
Member Virtual Host Root: /home/test
and instantiated it.

Finally I went into the Virtual Host -> External App -> Edit and set:
suEXEC User: test
suEXEC Group: test

So my Virtual Host is configured like this:
Virtual Host Root: /home/test/
Config File: $SERVER_ROOT/conf/test.xml
Document Root: $VH_ROOT/public_html/

File/Directory Permissions:
/home/test/ is of course owned by test:test
/home/test/public_html is owned by test:nobody (I also tried test:test)
all files inside /home/test/public_html/ are owned by test:test

Unfortunately whatever file I try to access when I visit "test.com", I get a 404 error.

The only similar discussion I found about this matter is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openlitespeed-development/SaL0BeGSAvA
however I would like to know if there's been any progress towards supporting this.

If supporting Virtual Host Roots outside of /usr/local/lsws/ is not planned, can you provide an alternative setup where full PHP SuEXEC functionality can be used?
ie. create a unix user, set ownership of a htdocs/public_html folder to that user, and execute PHP as that user.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I just tried to setup the whole thing inside /usr/local/lsws/ and apparently it works.

So now I have:

Virtual Host Root: $SERVER_ROOT/test
$VH_ROOT/public_html/

File/Directory Permissions:
/usr/local/lsws/test/ and everything underneath (public_html/, files etc.) owned by test:test

and PHP SuEXEC works nicely :)

Code: 
root     29279  0.0  0.2  34752  2944 ?        S    21:40   0:00 openlitespeed (lshttpd - main)
root     29280  0.0  0.0  33660   908 ?        S    21:40   0:00  \_ openlitespeed (lscgid)
test     29285  4.0  2.9 160024 29740 ?        S    21:40   0:00  |   \_ lsphp5                       
test     29286  1.8  2.6 161312 27100 ?        S    21:40   0:00  |   \_ lsphp5                       
test     29287  3.0  2.5 159296 26020 ?        S    21:40   0:00  |   \_ lsphp5
It would be nice to be able to host files outside of /usr/local/lsws/ though :cool:

This is what I also thought, but if you read my first message, I already tried this:

It works.... I was running a site for a guy (3 vhosts) by that process (in fact, they were running in his home directory under a public_html folder).
The problem I see in your example is you have Document Root as a path relative to the VirtualHost root. I leave the VH root and Config file in the default lsws folder and ONLY place the doc root outside of it (if I remember correctly - I converted most of my sites back over to nginx mainline).
