After updating I've got 1 server where /webmail isn't working anymore and results in a 403 error. I'll investigate this, but I'd like to know if something changed with this update.
Also phpMyAdmin gives the same 403 when using it with SSO.

My server is running AlmaLinux 10
Another server with Almalinux 8 doesn't have this issue (yet?)

fln · 2026-04-14T02:43:32-0600

There were no changes directly related to the webmail or other webapps.

JosKlever · 2026-04-14T03:33:01-0600

I've got PHP 8.4 as default on this server. On my other server 8.3 is default (and still working). PHP 8.4 got an update, so could that be related?

Investigating the same issue on two servers running OpenLiteSpeed. There is an issue with PHP for webapps. HTML pages under /roundcube/ and /webmail/, /phpmyadmin/ open fine. PHP scripts report 403 error.

zEitEr · 2026-04-14T04:28:08-0600

There are actually changes:

- NEW:

Bash:

[root@server openlitespeed]# grep phpwebapps *.conf
httpd-extprocessors.conf:extProcessor phpwebapps {
httpd-extprocessors.conf:    address                         uds://tmp/lshttpd/lsphpwebapps.sock
httpd-scripthandler.conf:  add lsapi:lsphpwebapps phpwebapps
httpd-webapps-php.conf:  addMIMEType             application/x-httpd-phpwebapps php

- OLD:

Bash:

[root@server openlitespeed]# grep phpwebapps *.conf
httpd-extprocessors.conf:extProcessor lsphpwebapps {
httpd-extprocessors.conf:    address                         uds://tmp/lshttpd/lsphpwebapps.sock
httpd-scripthandler.conf:add lsapi:lsphpwebapps lsphpwebapps
httpd-webapps-php.conf:  addMIMEType             application/x-httpd-lsphpwebapps php

There is something wrong with the setup I believe.

UPDATE: When overwriting /etc/openlitespeed/ to the state before the DA upgrade the web applications start to work again.

JosKlever · 2026-04-14T04:31:38-0600

I also noticed the difference between lsphpwebapps and phpwebapps
I've just tested a rollback to DA stable (1.698), but that doesn't change anything. So it's probably related to the PHP update that was installed as well?

I'll do a rollback for PHP as well now...

fln · 2026-04-14T04:45:18-0600

Thank you for the hints @zEitEr, @JosKlever. The OLS configuration was slightly changed - the PHP handler was renamed from lsphpwebapps to phpwebapp. We will double check and release a fix for it.

JosKlever · 2026-04-14T04:52:05-0600

After doing a rollback to DA stable (1.698) and both PHP 8.4 and 8.5 it still didn't work. I also synced back the changes in openlitespeed_vhost.conf to my customized version and did a rewrite_confs and now webmail is working again.

I still don't understand where the (ls)phpapps change was handled and why it differs between both my servers (or AL8 <-> AL10), but I hope all this information will help you fix this in an update.

I need a break now

Thanks. A new build is pushed out. It fixes the OLS configuration problem for the webapps.

confirmed as working on my side now.

fln · 2026-04-14T06:04:28-0600

@zEitEr the actual fix is (custombuild script):

Code:

                        echo 'scriptHandler {'
                        echo "  add lsapi:lsphp${default_php_release//.} php"
-                       echo '  add lsapi:lsphpwebapps phpwebapps'
+                       echo '  add lsapi:phpwebapps phpwebapps'
                        echo '}'

Your post shows the diff between DA 1.699 and DA 1.698. It is visible because in DA 1.698 there were no indentation spaces before add keyword

.

zEitEr · 2026-04-14T06:33:23-0600

Yes, that's correct. Good to know it is fixed now.

JosKlever · 2026-04-14T06:36:12-0600

It's working on my server as well, so thanks for that!

Can you explain why my AL10 server was affected and not my AL8 server? Both are running OLS and should have a similar setup.

exlhost · 2026-04-14T07:36:09-0600

Hi,

After the update, the setting for “Email a copy of all messages” appears empty.

However, email notifications are still being sent correctly whenever a message is created or posted.

exlhost · 2026-04-14T10:53:04-0600

The users per domain - Usage Log and Error Log viewer div is way to small, the element hight is --> height: 40vh;, should be 70 or atleast 74vh.
