[Resolved] Directory indexing

[serverhelp]

Hi,

Please let me know the how to enable the directory indexing in lite speed. I have turned on the file index option in the litespeed admin console, but it doesn't works. Also, it's working fine with apache.

----
Litespeed version: LiteSpeed/5.0.18
-----

Any suggestion on this?

 

[NiteWave]

if it woks with apache, should be ok with litespeed.

put
Options +Indexes
in .htaccess if not not in it.

Hello,

We are getting the following apache error while accessing the page.

Note that the folder "/home/ihome/public_html/test/" already exist in the server. We have checked and verified that. There are no permissions/ownership issue as we have already tested this with full permission and even with nobody permission.

Hi, Matthew,

How about if you turn off the open dir?

We'll analyze further based on the result.

Hello,

The page goes to a 404 error page when open dir(Directory Indexing) is turned off.

404
Not Found
The resource requested could not be found on this server!

Please advise further.

please check if it's an open_basedir issue :

[serverhelp]

Hi,

Thank you for your update.

We have tried this and seems to be still it's not working.

Already 'Enable php open_basedir Protection' is enabled in the WHM, also not 'Exclude Protection' any host or domain name.

Gary

 

[NiteWave]

please switch between apache and litespeed, visit a phpinfo page, and compare open_basedir value.

if under apache, it's "no value"; but under litespeed, it's not empty, then lsphp not match with php under apache,

to be more clear, what the blog suggest is to disable open_basedir in WHM, or check 'Exclude Protection" on the problem domain.

 

[serverhelp]

Hi,

We have switched between Apache and Litespeed web servers.

While checking in phpinfo page we could see that in both cases the value of 'open_basedir' shows as "no value".

Hi,

Can you turn on the web server debug log an see what message it says when you visit the test url?

 

[serverhelp]

Hi,

We have tried with changing web server LogLevel from warn to debug and checked the url. But its still showing the below error

2016-08-20 07:45:59.794 [NOTICE] [XX.XX.XX.XX:50504] [STDERR] PHP Warning:  opendir(/home/ihome/public_html/test/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/local/lib/php/autoindex/default.php on line 143

[NiteWave]

[serverhelp]

Hi,

We will check this with our senior admin and get back to you soon.

[NiteWave]

just a quick update: can reproduce the problem.
in investigation ...

 

[NiteWave]

finally found the root cause ...
at server level lsphp5 configuration:

suEXEC User: joramriv
suEXEC Group: joramriv

default value is empty.

change back to default value, the error is gone.

this can explain why:

2016-08-20 07:45:59.794 [NOTICE] [XX.XX.XX.XX:50504] [STDERR] PHP Warning: opendir(/home/ihome/public_html/test/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /usr/local/lib/php/autoindex/default.php on line 143

because lsphp5 running as user "joramriv:joramriv" thus can't open /home/ihome/public_html/test/ or /home/ihome/*

lesson learned: don't change some lsws default value unless you know what you're doing exactly; audit default values changes carefully if have to change those default values.
