Virtual host index file value not saving

[zep]

Ok, so I have this bad boy humming away (very fast) with the standard edition but I have an issue...

I have a php script as my index (index.php), but it does not load, instead litespeed is looking for index.html

as I understand this setting is available in two spots:

1) Virtual Hosts --> [my host] --> general --> Index Files

and

2) Configuration --> Server --> Index Files

when I set the first value in the virtual host and save it it displays fine, but when I switch tabs the value goes back to index.html.

so I dicided to set my master server configuration to index.php and set 'Use Server Index Files' in the virtual server area.

Problem is, when I switch tabs or reload the page the 'Use Server Index Files' value defaults back to NO

How can I get this to work? Is some configuration file in the server software not writable, or am I just going crazy?

Please help with my issue, Thanks!

Looks like you do have a permission problem. Check the configuration file see if it changed?
If you install LSWS to your home directory, you may have this problem, install it to /opt/lsws or /usr/local/lsws.

Where is the configuration file, and what is it named, also should it be CHMOD to 777?

I did install it into the /opt/lsws directory

Thanks for your help!

in /opt/lsws/httpd_config.xml

[zep]

the only files there are license and version files, could the config files be in any other directory?

Try the conf directory

I set this to 777, all permissions to everybody, but it still resets when I navigate away then come back, any more suggestions? Id hate to have to take this down because of such a silly, but important thing. Thanks for your input.

Have you tried to harden the security under the lsws directory? The default installation should work just fine. Maybe you should remove /opt/lsws directory and reinstall it from scratch.
You can manually change the lsws/conf/httpd_config.xml, the worst case.

I just went live on this site, I will have to edit the xml file manually, not the end of the world I guess...

after CHMOD ing all the files in the conf directory (within the virtual host) everything works fine now, and I can change the persmissions back after editing
