Hello,
I have a bit problem with cPanel suexec. cPanel stores suexec settings in virtualhost in httpd.conf as:

Code:

<virtualhost ...>
...
User x
Group x
...
</virutalhost>

When lsws automatically import the config from httpd.conf, the suexec isn't working. All CGI scripts are execute as nobody. Is there possible to change that?

Regards,
Maciej Tomaszewski

You can fix it by changing "CGI Set UID Mode" to "document root" for the imported vhost.
Or do not import httpd.conf during installation, let LSWS read httpd.conf directly with "Using Apache Configuration File" feature under "server"->"general" tab.

I'm using option "Using Apache Configuration File" - LSWS is reading httpd.conf directly.

I see. For PHP will be executed under user "nobody" as PHP is handled by the global phpLsapi running as "nobody".
For other plain CGI, should be executed as the UID specified.
The PHP suExec will be addressed soon in new LSWS release, please stay tuned.

1. Plain CGI is also executed as nobody.
2. Ok, I will wait for new version.

This is probably the last bit of features that I may need before
deploying lsws in cpanel servers. Will be waiting too...

1. install lsws
2. build php with litespeed
3. config lsws to read httpd.conf directly
4. remove httpd from default runlevel & disable httpd from chkservd
5. enjoy lower load & memory consumtion on your cPanel box!

LiteSpeed Web Server 2.2 has been released with the suEXEC feature and more.
