OpenLiteSpeed is a high-performance, open-source web server that is easy to use and provides a variety of features. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up OpenLiteSpeed on your Linux server.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
First, update your package lists to ensure you have the latest information on the newest versions of packages and their dependencies.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
To install OpenLiteSpeed, you need to add the OpenLiteSpeed repository to your system.
wget -O - http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/enable_lst_debian_repo.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install openlitespeed -y
sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/litespeed-repo-1.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install openlitespeed -y
After installation, start the OpenLiteSpeed service and enable it to start on boot.
sudo systemctl start lsws
sudo systemctl enable lsws
OpenLiteSpeed comes with a web-based administration console. By default, it listens on port 7080. You can access it by navigating to http://your_server_ip:7080 in your web browser.
The default login credentials are:
admin123456For security reasons, you should change the default admin password.
sudo /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/admpass.sh
Follow the prompts to set a new password.
You can now configure your web server using the web admin console. Refer to the OpenLiteSpeed documentation for detailed instructions on configuring virtual hosts, SSL, and other settings.
