[Solved] cPanel email autoconfig not working

[Monarobase]

When I try to access autoconfig.domain.tld on a cPanel 11.36 server I get an error 500 message from litespeed with :

[ERROR] [REWRITE] Proxy target is not defined on external application list, please add a 'web server' with name '127.0.0.1'

What do I need to do exactly to fix this ?

[webizen]

create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/perl => /usr/bin/perl. 11.36 no longer has /usr/local/bin/perl

I've already got this symlink and I still get the error

check External App (Admin Console => Configuration => Server) page. It seems Web Server (proxy) type External App was not defined or missing. If so, add them back.

Type Name Address Action
Web Server 127.0.0.1:2086 127.0.0.1:2086 View Edit Delete
Web Server 127.0.0.1:2077 127.0.0.1:2077 View Edit Delete

They exist, but I don't think it's them that are causing this.

The lines causing this in cPanel's apache httpd.conf are :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^autodiscover\.
RewriteRule ^[^?]*(\?.*)? http://127.0.0.1/cgi-sys/autodiscover.cgi [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^autoconfig\.
RewriteRule ^[^?]*(\?.*)? http://127.0.0.1/cgi-sys/autoconfig.cgi [P]

As you can see it doesn't use any of the above ports.

If I create one for port 80 will it cause issues with litespeed ? Shouldn't litespeed already respond to 127.0.0.1 on port 80 ?

please try. currently our lab's cPanel server not available. so I can't test it now.

1. Create Web Server External App

Address:127.0.0.1:80

No luck so far !

I tried creating a webserver with name 127.0.0.1:80 but it didn't change anything to I set the name to 127.0.0.1 and the address to 127.0.0.1:80 but now autoconfig.domain.tld times out after 60 seconds with a 403 error and nothing in the error_log file.

Even without this entry un the listeners list I see :

Running 127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1:80
[APVH_IP1:80 IP2:443 IP3:80 IP4:443 IP5:80 IP6:443 IP7:80 IP8:443 IP9:80 127.0.0.1:80 *_hostname] * hostname cpanel.* whm.* webmail.* webdisk.* autodiscover.* autoconfig.*

As I updated to litespeed 4.2.2 just after updating to cPanel 11.36 and having not tried to access autoconfig.domain.tld before (this feature was first introduced in 11.34) I don't know if the probem was added by LS 4.2.2 or if LS was never working with the autoconfig subdomain

For proxy external app, it only handles http://127.0.0.1/ instead of alias like /sys-cgi/ which has to be defined as context in lsws (available at vhost level not server level). so this autoconfig and autodiscover which proxy through cgi-sys cgi is not working in lsws at the moment. will let you know once a fix is available.

Fixed in the latest 4.2.2 build.

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lsup.sh -f -v 4.2.2

Thanks, that seems to have solved the issue
