CloudLinux, Litespeed Enterprise 404 not found on virtual host

[Oliver Camp]

Hi All,
I have setup a new server on linode with Centos 7 which was then converted to CloudLinux. I installed CageFS and set it up, then installed litespeed. The default virtual host works a treat but the second virtual host I have setup produces a 404 error with the following on the server log.

2018-02-05 08:08:10.162827 [INFO] [92.16.158.197:63764] File not found [/home/corstocart/public_html/index.html]
2018-02-05 08:08:10.162874 [INFO] [92.16.158.197:63764] Cannot found appropriate handler for [/index.html]

Where should I be looking at as I suspect this is a permissions issue?

So having done some poking it turns out that the php scripts aren't running as the user corstocart but still running as the user of nobody.

only user corstocart can access . need to update permission to allow nobody user access that directory, Are you using any control panel.

 

[Oliver Camp]

I am not using any control panel.
I've changed the permission to 711 which gets rid of the 404 issue and the site is viewable.
But as the php script isn't running as the user corstocart I get permission issues when trying to write caches to folders.
I don't really want to open up the permissions all over the place for nobody to read it as that would lead to a security risk wouldn't it?

If it is a dedicated server, then may not be a big problem. If you run you PHP as nobody, you should give it access to your all files under document root or you can simply configure PHP to run as SueEXEC as user.
