After creating a new website in the CyberPanel management interface of a LiteSpeed server, if you connect to the URL and get a 403 or 404 error (page not found), it may be due to several reasons. Below are some basic solutions for your reference:

1. Check the .htaccess file: Make sure the “.htaccess” file exists in the website’s folder and is correctly configured. If you use WordPress, the .htaccess file should contain the following:

BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress
  1. Check file permissions: Make sure your website directory and .htaccess file have the correct permission settings. Usually, it should be set to 755, and the .htaccess file should be set to 644.

3. Clear the cache: Sometimes the web cache causes 404 errors. Try clearing the web cache and revisiting the website.

  1. Check the web server settings: Make sure your web server settings are correct, especially if you are using LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise or OpenLiteSpeed.
