DocumentRoot outside of /usr/local/lsws

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

Hello!

I am bringing attention to an old thread (http://openlitespeed.com/threads/virtual-host-root-outside-server_root-gives-404-error.290/#post-790).

I cant get this to work!
I have a new server with LSWS under /usr/local/lsws, i have a documentroot in /home/user/html, it contains a single index.php file .
I only get a 404 not found, i've tried alot of stuff, permissions, shutting off selinux, but nothing works. It works seamless if i put the html-folder under /usr/local/lsws, but not outside of it.

Please help!

Hi @enthess,

There are a couple possibilities:
1. in the vhost settings, is the uid mode set to DocRoot UID?
2. Is index.php set as an index file?

Going to think about further possibilities.

1. It now is, didnt knew about this option (didnt make a difference)
2. It is on server-side level, not on vhost-level.

Is the vhost set to use server index files?

Here is a snippet of my local machine's vhost config:

Code:

docRoot                   $VH_ROOT/html

index  {
  useServer               0
  indexFiles              index.php
}

scripthandler  {
  add                     lsapi:lsphp5 php
}

extprocessor lsphp5 {
  type                    lsapi
  address                 uds://tmp/lshttpd/lsphp5.sock
  maxConns                35

  retryTimeout            0
  persistConn             1
  respBuffer              0
  autoStart               1

  procSoftLimit           400
  procHardLimit           500
}

rewrite  {
  enable                  1
  rules                   rewriteFile           /home/user/wordpress/html/.htaccess
}

  rules                   rewriteFile           /home/user/wordpress/html/.htaccess
}

Mine now looks the same (except for rewrite).

The biggest difference is that i have a hardcoded documentroot /home/user/html , whilst vh_root is in /usr/local/lsws default path ($SERVER_ROOT/conf/vhosts/$VH_NAME) , is this a problem, if yes, why ?

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

My vhost settings in the server conf file:

Code:

virtualhost localwp {
  vhRoot                  /home/user/wordpress/
  configFile              $SERVER_ROOT/conf/vhosts/$VH_NAME/vhconf.conf
  allowSymbolLink         1
  enableScript            1
  restrained              0
  setUIDMode              2
}

I'm not sure if hardcoding the document root makes a difference, but that's just what I did because I set the vhRoot to the different directory

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

Heres my vhost:
virtualhost cgBoxCheck {
vhRoot $SERVER_ROOT/conf/vhosts/$VH_NAME
configFile $SERVER_ROOT/conf/vhosts/$VH_NAME/vhconf.conf
allowSymbolLink 1
enableScript 1
restrained 0
setUIDMode 2
}

and here's my vhost-conf

docRoot /home/user/html/

errorlog {
useServer 1
logLevel ERROR
}

accesslog {
useServer 1
}

index {
useServer 0
indexFiles index.php
}

scripthandler {
add lsapi:lsphp71 php
}

extprocessor lsphp71 {
type lsapi
address uds://tmp/lshttpd/lsphp.sock
maxConns 35
env PHP_LSAPI_MAX_REQUESTS=500
env PHP_LSAPI_CHILDREN=35
initTimeout 60
retryTimeout 0
persistConn 1
respBuffer 0
autoStart 1
path $SERVER_ROOT/lsphp71/bin/lsphp
backlog 100
instances 1
extUser user
extGroup user
priority 0
memSoftLimit 2047M
memHardLimit 2047M
procSoftLimit 400
procHardLimit 500
}

still, i get 404 not found :/ (file exists ofcourse)

Could you enable debug logging and restart the server? We're looking for the part where it parses the configuration files (should be towards the beginning).

No real errors as far as i can see :/

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

Does changing docroot to use VH_ROOT fix it?

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

lsfoo said:

No

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

Could you create an index.html and add it to the list of index files and see if that works?

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

lsfoo said:

Same :/, i dont know at all what is wrong at the moment :/

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

May I have ssh credentials to log in to your server? Need to do some investigating.

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

lsfoo said:

Sadly not ..
I will throw everything away and try again :/

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

OK, let us know if re-doing it fixes it. Since we have the old rules here, we can do a comparison and see if something triggered it.

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

lsfoo said:

At the moment no changes at all... i dont understand, i point document root to the directory, i have the permissions, everything looks good, no errors :/

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

As soon as i put the document_root under /usr/local/lsws , it works fine!

same directory, same chmod, same everything.
When i change to /home/user/html, no working

lsfoo · Feb 14, 2017

2 questions:

1. Do both index.php and index.html output the same 404 page?
2. Is the listener set up properly?

enthess · Feb 14, 2017

lsfoo said:

Yes, they both generate same 404 page
As far as i can see, when i put docroot at /lsws/ it works fine , both curl and web.

DocumentRoot outside of /usr/local/lsws
