Landed here to fix a perm issue, so not sure if 1) I messed up script somehow haha, absolutely possible, 2) think the mess up may be still trying to wrap my head around litespeed entirely! Anyone have more wisdom than I? Seems nobody is WS_GROUP as default script has, but ran script and still issues with images not showing, but after script site has critical error... Setting back to basic 755 / 644 brings it back, but things are still not loading and running strange. I has suspicion it is a secret "easy" perms thing though since this is all after fooling around migrating sites somewhat.... 🤦 Any insights would helpful!
Thanks for the work on the script, and the comments everyone!
Addon: Oh yea, other issue I believe, is the .htaccess couldn't be accessed by litespeed... So setting chgrp on .htaccess to WS not good fro litespeed? Or I possible have wrong WS group... right?
