NexiPanel: Child Domains Feature Print

After version 1.5, the child domains feature became available in NexiPanel. After version 1.6.4 became stable, we launched a dedicated launcher for child domains.

Why There is a Need for a Child Domain Launcher

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

Every domain must have its own .htaccess file, and OpenLiteSpeed must be explicitly told to load rules from the file; otherwise, the file is totally ignored. For example, 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 are ignored.

Therefore, 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 the child domain

• Change PHP

• Add/Delete rewrite rules

• Add SSL

• Enable/Disable open_basedir protection

How to Access the Launcher for Child Domains

Go to your Master Domain launcher, which is located at:

https:<IP Address>:8090/websites/masterdomain.com

There, you can manage your child domain configurations.
