Virtual host can not be enabled, reload first!

[mega023]

I'm trying to setup this for like 3-4 hours...
and it's driving me crazy...

I'm allways getting this error:

2006-05-13 14:11:27.360	ERROR	Virtual host imageXXXXXX.com can not be enabled, reload first!

when I go to http://ImageXXXXX.com:8088/ i get that DEFAULT account,
not the one I set up.

Here are some debug info:

PS: If someone from support stuff has ICQ, MSN or Google talk, please send me your messenger so I can ask you few more questions?

PPS: You could work a bit more on your docs and even make animated flash guides with soud would be great

and *did* you reload litespeed? its an option in the admin -panel / service-manager, "graceful restart".

Mega, are you still having the same issues after following ts77's suggestion of graceful-restarting the server after your vhost change?

Please note LiteSpeed offers 24/7 Live/Phone support to customers that purchase our service agreements. It is impractical for us to supply live support for everyone though we complement that with free/prompt forum support. Forum support does take a hit on weekend for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the suggestion on the doc improvement. We are always striving to offer better documentation and are working toward that goal. We will be adding more how-tos to our wiki and improving the current documentation.

even after

root@svr1 [/usr/local/lsws/bin]# ./lswsctrl start
[OK] lshttpd: pid=4685.

it still doesn't work and I just can't access the
http://__IP___:7080/ or 8088

Mega, please email two files to bug@litespeedtech.com

1) /lswsinstall/conf/httpd_config.xml

2) /yourvhost/conf/vhconf.xml

Also please note your server platform.

With these info, we will attempt to replicate your problem on our end. It appears the server is a restart loop immediately after startup.

Also, go to "Server : General" and set Log Level to Debug and and Debug Level to High. It will generate a much more detailed debug log for us to trace.

As the .xml config files + debug logs might contain sensitive information, we recommend you to email them to bug@litespeedtech.com rather posting it to the forum.

Mega, thank you the detailed report. This bug has been fixed for release 2.1.16.

There is a problem in configuring bytes log file, if accessLog section exists in the vhost.xml, it will not happen.
