[solved] Litespeed is switching user id is .htaccess is present
 

Hi,

We have an odd issue, we have an account, that was moved from one drive to another, with a symlink in place from old location to new:

/home/example -> /home2/example

Folders:

/home/example/public_html -> example.com
/home/example/public_html/sub -> sub.example.com

We have userdir enabled, so that: sub.example.com/~example would load content from:

/home/example/public_html

(don't ask)

Now this all works fine, and a PHP script getting the posix_userid() returns the correct user ID.

Now if we place a .htaccess file in:

/home/example/public_html

when accessing a script via:

sub.example.com/~example/script.php

it outputs 99 - the nobody user. If we remove the .htaccess from /home/example/public_html then the self same script gives the correct userid for the example user.

Any help much appreciated, this seems a bit of a bug. The .htaccess is empty, nothing in it at all. All files and directories have the correct example user ownership.

Thanks,

It is not something can be easily reproduced in our lab.
Can you please enable debug logging , run one test with .htaccess present, one without, send the section of related log file to bug@litespeed...

make sure you are using the latest 4.1.13 release, do a force reinstall before running the test.

Hi,

It's on 4.1.13 and we've already tried a force re-install. Will test with debug logging enabled.

Thanks,

So where do I send these logs?

I've got it with and without the .htaccess file present. I can't see anything myself in them that doesn't look right.

I don't fancy posting them here, as they obviously have quite a lot of sensitive info in them.

Thanks,

you can pm or email to bug@

Hi,

Sent to bug@ about an hour or so ago.

...and it works like a charm, thanks.
