4 - Child Domains Launcher

After version 1.5 [child domains](https://docs.cyberpanel.net/doku.php?id=child-domains "child-domains") feature is available in CyberPanel. After version 1.6.4 stable we've launched dedicated launcher for child domains.

Why there is a need for Child Domain Launcher

Since most of you already know that rewrite rules with OpenLiteSpeed do not work as they work with LiteSpeed Enterprise/Apache.

Every domain must have their 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.
