LSAPI and Shared Hosting not working

[andyf]

Having done this, the request just returns:

403 Forbidden

[mistwang]

Please add following rewrite rules to .htaccess under public/ folder

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]

[andyf]

I've tried this, and other .htaccess directives, but the .htaccess inside the app/public directory and also within the public_html root seems to be ignored.

403 status is triggered by

Options -indexes

, instead, avoid using "-indexes", use

Options <options needed ....,do not include "indexes">

.htaccess could be disabled by your server configuration.

It's giving a 403 because I disabled indexes, as you suggested here. This had to be done on a global default level, since .htaccess in the public_html root is not considered by the server.

I should add this is a standard cPanel CentOS machine, running LSWS, if this helps.

Requesting any URL except the website root works, eg. /foo/bar results in a Rail error saying no route (as expected). Requesting / just results in a 403 due to Indexes being disabled. The request response headers in each case are different, it's clear to see that the request for the website root is not being processed by Rails (and indeed there are no ruby processes spawned by LSWS).

Hi,

So considering indexes are disabled at the moment, should I be leaving them disabled, or enabling them. As it stands, any request for the web root (public_html) is not being passed to the Ruby LSAPI.

update to the latest 4.2.1 release may address this.

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lsup.sh -f -v 4.2.1
