htaccess and DocumentRoot

[priestjim]

Hi!

I am an LS Enterprise edition owner and I have noticed that while Apache tries to open and process .htaccess files located in every subdirectory containing the docroot (for example if docroot is /home/example/www, apache will process /.htaccess, /home/.htaccess and /home/example/.htaccess), LS doesn't! This is very crucial to CPanel because, for example, it uses it (through /home/example/.htaccess in order not to interfere with the actual website's .htaccess in /home/example/www/.htaccess) to enable users to choose between PHP versions!

Is it possible to add this feature to LS?

Thanks in advance!

We will add that to 4.1 release.

Could you give me a rough ETA for version 4.1? I'm really burning my heels here...

Thanks anyway

We have produced a 4.0.3 release package including this. You can give a try.
Just change the version number in the download link.

Thank you for your prompt response! I've downloaded the new version and tested it and it works however I get some strange behavior. Normally, LSWS should parse the extra-docroot .htaccess on-the-fly, on par with the actual .htaccess files inside the docroot but it doesn't, it requires a graceful restart in order to read the extra-docroot .htaccess file (which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place-lsws restarting for a single .htaccess file change).

Just touch the .htaccess inside the docroot, it will reload both htaccess file, no need to restart the server.
