Chmod is broken with Litespeed

[NiteWave]

I can't find that file in my jailed shell. Is it available online somewhere so I can get a copy of default.php?

download the latest standard version(current 4.0.14) lsws to your site's host(or local PC). extract the .tar.gz file, default.php located at lsws-4.0.14/share/autoindex/default.php

Doesn't appear to be working.

Note that I don't have a /_autoindex/ directory in my jailedshell.

step 2:

alias /_autoindex/default.php /home/myusername/test/myindex.php

sorry, alias may not work in .htaccess
refer:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...ias.html#alias
Context: server config, virtual host

please ask your host provider to add it to your virtual host configuration file if you can't.

I was told by my hosting provider that it cannot be done because cPanel will rewrite the VirtualHost every time.

Tell your host to create an include file for this and uncomment the relevant include line in the virtualhost for the domain. These includes exist specifically for things like this. A commented explanation of this is even provided in the httpd.conf by cPanel.

I told them and they said they can't (won't) do it because cPanel automatically generates them. Yes, I copied and pasted, word for word, what you said into my support ticket. That was their response.

They offered to move me to another server that uses Apache instead to get around the issue. I'm just going to drop the matter. Perhaps LiteSpeed can make it easier for users on shared hosting to make this change themself with future versions.

Thanks for the help here guys. Sorry it was for nothing.

Scroll down to "httpd.conf changes contained in a <VirtualHost>"

In short, their reasoning is garbage. But I would agree that it isn't very convenient to customize the directory index. Nor is it even remotely compatible with Apache; which is odd given that LiteSpeed's claim to fame is "Apache interchangeable".
