[Resolved] images do not display after LSWS 4.2.7 upgrade

[muiruri]

Hello,

After uploading one of my servers from version 4.2.6 to 4.2.7

The images stopped showing for many sites.

When I switch back to Apache, images display fine.

I noticed the option Server -> General -> PHP suEXEC appears to have changed to NO, I changed it back to YES, so that it can match or enable suPHP that is enabled in Apache.

But this does not help.

I have also tried going back to LSWS 4.2.6 but now have the same problem. Therefore the upgrade changed something I now cannot find.

Any more ideas?

Please help urgently we have many sites affected and customers upset. It's a very frustrating experience.

Wish LSWS can release upgrades that do not mess-up things.

Only solution I have found to work is to manually change permissions for all files inside /public_html/ of each site from nobody to cpanel user.

PS: This is a big problem, because we have hundreds of sites on the server.

Do not understand why this has become a problem now and all was working fine before with version 4.2.6, which does not work anymore when we try to downgrade, same problem persists.

We also do not want to change permissions for sites without informing users.

lsws web admin -> Server -> Security -> File Access, especially
Required Permission Mask
Restricted Permission Mask
change both to 000 to match apache if not 000

 

[muiruri]

Both these two options are already set to 000;
Required Permission Mask
Restricted Permission Mask

But still having trouble with sites loading images.

please give the output:

#ls -ald /home/user001/public_html

replace above user001 to a problem cPanel user's name

#ps -ef |grep litespeed

 

[muiruri]

This is the output I get for one of the users;

# ls -ald /home/user001/public_html
drwxr-x--- 39 user001 nobody 4096 Feb 21 16:30 /home/user001/public_html

# ps -ef |grep litespeed
root  21316  1  0 15:07 ?  00:00:06 litespeed (lshttpd)
nobody  21318 21316  0 15:07 ?  00:01:19 litespeed (lshttpd)
nobody  21319 21316  0 15:07 ?  00:00:01 litespeed (lshttpd)
root  27101 24728  0 17:20 pts/1  00:00:00 grep litespeed

Please advise?

the output of above 2 commands are normal.

can you post all current settings of lsws web admin -> Server -> Security -> File Access ?

 

[muiruri]

Following are the current settings;

lsws web admin -> Server -> Security -> File Access

Follow Symbolic Link - YES
Check Symbolic Link - NO
Force Strict Ownership - YES
Required Permission Mask - 000
Restricted Permission Mask - 000
Script Restricted Permission Mask - 000
Script Restricted Directory Permission Mask - 000

 

[NiteWave]

please try:
Force Strict Ownership - No
then restart lsws

 

[muiruri]

Yes, this has now helped and on a quick check of some sites, images load fine now.
