BackWPup and Litespeed web server- solved

Could not get ANY backup plugin to work and finally escalated to my host (I am on shared hosting) After a lot of discussion, my host worked with Litespeed, who have released an updated version that now allows these scripts to execute- but ONLY if you modify your .htaccess file.

more info here

but here is the full explanation- you must be running the latest version of Litespeed for this to work (Apache was never affected)

go to cpanel
go to ‘File Manager’
make sure ‘show dotfiles (hidden files) is turned on
go to your ‘public_html’ folder
open your ‘.htaccess’ file with an editor
add the line
RewriteRule ^$ – [E=noabort:1]

or you can add the more complex, but tidier solution
RewriteRule /home/youraccount/public_html/pathtophpscript – [E=noabort:1]
which is slightly better because it does not allow other scripts to run wild

your .htaccess file should look something like this-
_______________________________________________________________
# Inserted By Customer Control Panel
SetEnv PHPRC /home/mycpanelaccountname/public_html

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ – [E=noabort:1]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
