Installing, please wait…
LiteSpeed Web Server Plugin for WHM Installed.
You can access it from WHM web console plugins section.
Congratulations! The LiteSpeed Web Server has been successfully installed.
Command line script – “/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl”
can be used to start or stop the server.
It is recommended to limit access to the web administration interface.
Right now the interface can be accessed from anywhere where this
machine can be reached over the network.
Three options are available:

1. If the interface needs to be accessed only from this machine, just
change the listener for the interface to only listen on the loopback
interface – localhost(127.0.0.1).

2. If the interface needs to be accessible from limited IP addresses or sub
networks, then set up access control rules for the interface accordingly.

3. If the interface has to be accessible via internet, SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) should be used. Please read respective HOW-TOs on SSL configuration.

To change configurations of the interface, login and click
“Interface Configuration” button on the main page.
The administration interface is located at http://localhost:<ADMIN_PORT>/
or http://<ip_or_Hostname_of_this_machine>:<ADMIN_PORT>/

Would you like to have LiteSpeed Web Server started automatically

when the server restarts [Y/n]? Y

[OK] The startup script has been successfully installed!

The default configuration file contain support for both PHP4 and PHP5,
A prebuilt PHP4 binary comes with this package, however, we recommend
you to build your own PHP4 and PHP5 binaries though our web console with
the same configuration parameters as your current PHP installation. You
can check your current PHP configuration via a phpinfo() page.

Press [ENTER] to continue

When you replace Apache with LiteSpeed, remember to stop Apache completely.
On most Linux servers, you should do:

service httpd stop
chkconfig httpd off
or
service apache stop
chkconfig apache off

If “Port Offset” has been set to 0, you should do it now.

Press [ENTER] to continue

Would you like to start it right now [Y/n]? Y

[OK] Your trial license key will expire in 14 days!
[OK] lshttpd: pid=22556
