Install locally on Ubuntu for dev purposes

[GabrielDumbrava]

Hi guys,

I have successfully install OLS o my local machine, the admin works, the example works and if I try to add a new virtualhost in the same location as the Example, which is owned by root, mainly `/usr/local/lsws/Example2` it also works. So far, so good.

Now, I try to add a new virtualhost to a folder on my home directory where I'm working on an app. No matter what I do I get 403. I looked at the docs, forum, switched the folder/file mask to 755/644, even owner to nobody:nogroup, tries to set the suid to my user, to use symbolic link from the install folder to my folder, and all in vain. I tried to make the php lock file to be owned by my user:group but when it starts it's still nobody:nogroup.

I can't believe that there is no one else who ran into the same issue on their local machines. After all it's default linux

Got any ideas?
Thanks!

You might want to move the virtual host config to the lsws or lsws/conf folder, and point the document root to the app folder. Let us know if it works.

Thanks for your reply!

I started from a clean state. I have removed/purged everything, deleted folders. Brand new install of the server. Copied Example folder to my folder in the same folder. Set up the virtual host to use the doc root pointing to my folder. Still 403. Example works. No .htaccess. Allow from ALL.

I managed to temporary fix it by adding `o+rx` on the `USER_HOME` folder but it's a less than optimal solution. Is there a way to have the worker for my virtualhost to run as my user?

for both virtualhosts setuidmode is set to 2, from the server log:

[17648] [LocalWorker::workerExec] VHost:_AdminVHost suExec check uid 997 gid 65534 setuidmode 2.

I have configured rsync to copy files from the development folder to another folder for which I can have loose access rights ... but again being able to se the uid/gid for the running process on that specific virtualhost would be of great help.

Have you check this yet https://docs.openlitespeed.org/config/php/externalapp/#use-a-virtual-host-level-external-app

I did try to change the user/group for the main settings of the external app, but not per virtualhost. I'll try it and let you know. Thanks!
