[solved] virtual host document root error

[cac]

Hi,

Trying to set up virtual host Document Root directory in Configuration -> Virtual Hosts -> [name of our virtual host] -> General -> Document Root. When we specify /home/httpd/htdocs/domain-name, and click Save, the admin interface gives an error '*path /home/httpd/htdocs/domain-name does not exist. Please create manually.' Even though we've verified the path certainly does exist. It's currently owned by user 'httpd'.

We've tried adding the lsadm user to the http group, still no luck. Do we need to create a directory that's owned by lsadm? Litespeed server process currently running as 'user(httpd) : group(httpd)'. So we're not sure why it wouldn't be able to read this directory.

Thanks

pls paste here the result of 'ls -ld /home/httpd/htdocs' and 'ls -ld /home/httpd/htdocs/domain-name'

[root@web15 ~]# ls -ld /home/httpd/htdocs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 30 17:47 /home/httpd/htdocs -> /sandbox/htdocs/
[root@web15 ~]# ls -ld /home/httpd/htdocs/
dr-xrwx--- 5 httpd ftp 4096 May 25 16:39 /home/httpd/htdocs/


[root@web15 ~]# ls -ld /home/httpd/htdocs/domain-name
dr-xrwxr-x 81 httpd ftp 20480 May 20 14:50 /home/httpd/htdocs/domain-name

do either of the followings:

1. add lsadm to ftp group
2. change group ownership of /sandbox/htdocs/ to httpd

Thanks! That seems to have fixed the issue.
