Boost, LiteSpeed - Access denied and An AJAX HTTP error occurred [#2375875]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Boost on a multilingual site, installed on a LiteSpeed server. Everything seems to work fine, except the administration side where many pages can't be accessed. I want to mention that Boost is disabled for XML and AJAX/JSON.

Views can't be edited (error: An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result code: 404). The same error appears when trying to filter content using Administration views.

I get "Access denied" when:

checking for updates
enabling / disabling themes
refreshing translated strings

and probably many other places that I haven't discovered yet.

I tried switching between Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and Options +FollowSymLinks, %{HTTP_HOST} and %{SERVER_NAME}, etc without any luck.
All these problems disappear and the admin side behave like it's supposed to, only if the "boost code" is removed from .htaccess.

Thanks!

Not using boost anymore, but a while ago I received an email from a user who told me that the problem was solved when the following was used:

### BOOST START ###
 
  # Allow for alt paths to be set via htaccess rules; allows for cached variants (future mobile support)
  RewriteRule .* - [E=boostpath:normal]
 
  # Caching for anonymous users
 # Skip boost IF not get request OR uri has wrong dir OR cookie is set OR request came from this server OR https request
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD)$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^/(admin|cache|misc|modules|sites|system|openid|themes|node/add|comment/reply))|(/(edit|user|user/(login|password|register))$) [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} DRUPAL_UID [OR]
  RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
  RewriteRule .* - [S=3]
 
  # GZIP
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} !gzip
  RewriteRule .* - [S=1]
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html\.gz -s
  RewriteRule .* cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html\.gz [L,T=text/html,E=no-gzip:1]
 
  # NORMAL
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html -s
  RewriteRule .* cache/%{ENV:boostpath}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}_%{QUERY_STRING}\.html [L,T=text/html]
 
  ### BOOST END ###

Important: I have no idea if the above code is working, so please test it before.
