Why there is a need for Child Domain Launcher

Most of you already know that rewriting rules with OpenLiteSpeed does not work as they work with LiteSpeed Enterprise/Apache.

Every domain must have its own .htaccess file and OpenLiteSpeed is explicitly told to load rules from the file, otherwise, the file is totally ignored. So if you have a master domain at:/home/masterdomain.com/public_html its .htaccess file is located at /home/masterdomain.com/public_html/.htaccess any .htaccess files in subdirectories do not work and they are ignored.

And so if you have a child-domain under the master domain with the path /home/masterdomain.com/public_html/childdomain.com its rewrite rules will be ignored since OpenLiteSpeed has not been told to load rewrite rules from /home/masterdomain.com/public_html/childdomain.com/.htaccess.

To solve this problem we have a dedicated child domain launcher, where you can:

• View Access/Error logs.
• Edit virtual host configurations for child domain.
• Change PHP.
• Add/Delete Rewrite rules.
• Add SSL.
• Enable/Disable open_basedir protection.
