FilesMatch issue

[Dmitry]

Hello.

LSWS and LSAPI last version, CentOS 6.4.

For test i used such files and directiries:

www/test/.htaccess
www/test/index.php
www/test/....some files else ....

www/test/test2/.htaccess
www/test/test2/index.php
www/test/test2/....some files else ....

www/test/.htaccess contains

<FilesMatch "\.([Pp][Hh][Pp]|[Cc][Gg][Ii]|[Pp][Ll]|[Pp][Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll])\.?">
   Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

www/test/test2/.htaccess contains:

<FilesMatch "\.([Pp][Hh][Pp]|[Cc][Gg][Ii]|[Pp][Ll]|[Pp][Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll])\.?">
   Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

When i request www/test/test2/index.php, i get 403 error. Works www/test/.htaccess but must work www/test/test2/.htaccess which have "Allow from all". Why it does not?

should be same issue described in
http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=6593

it can be further simplified by:
www/test/.htaccess
<Files *>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files>

www/test/test2/.htaccess
<Files *>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Files>

access to /test/test2/*
apache: ok,
litespeed: deny

apache's rules looks very complicated:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html#mergin

the news is that apache 2.4 not compatible with apache 2.2 as well regarding "Order, Allow, Deny, and Satisfy"

refer
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=6593 marked as solved but it does not solved. You asked move .htaccess to other directory but it is not what we need.

Will you fix it or not?

 

[NiteWave]

the particular issue is fixed -- I logged in the user's server and helped him to resolve the issue and he's satisfied with it.

if you ask for 100% compatible, usually it's not possible in practice since the complexity. that should be no choice other than stick to apache. there are some big incompatible issues between apache versions as well, mainly 1.x, 2.2 and 2.4

how to address this issue at the moment,
1) follow apache 2.2 or
2) follow apache 2.4 or
3) document clearly the difference so that user can easily to switch between apache and litespeed with minimum effort and time consuming

I'm not sure. need further discussion I think. just summary here to emphasize it.

 

[Dmitry]

It's easy switch to Apache if user have VPS or dedicated server. For shared hosting servers it's impossible. Users come from Apache servers and wont to work with their .htaccess rules. For exapmle, rule from the first post i got from DataLife Engine CMS. I'm not shure that the reason in difference between Apache versions. Child .htaccess must rewrite parent's same rules, but it dos not for Files and FilesMatch on LS.
If i use simple Allow and Deny without FilesMatch, they work fine.

Surely the same rules that apply to Apache 2.4 should also work under LSWS?
