OpenLiteSpeed<\/strong>\u00a0is an open source, high-performance HTTP server with an event-driven architecture; built for Unix-like operating systems including Linux and Windows OS.<\/p>\n

It is a powerful, modular HTTP server that comes with several modules for common HTTP server functionalities, it can handle hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections without critical server load issues, and it supports third-party modules via\u00a0API<\/strong>\u00a0(LSIAPI<\/strong>) as well.<\/p>\n

Importantly, it supports Apache-compatible rewrite rules, ships in with a an easy-to-use, user friendly Web administration console which shows real-time server stats. OpenLiteSpeed utilizes minimal CPU and memory resources, supports creation of virtual hosts, high-performance page caching as well as installation of a different PHP versions.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Enable OpenLitespeed Repository<\/h3>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0OpenLiteSpeed is not present in the Debian\/Ubuntu software repositories, so you have to add OpenLiteSpeed repository with this command. This will create the file\u00a0\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/lst_debian_repo.list<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

$ wget -c http:\/\/rpms.litespeedtech.com\/debian\/enable_lst_debain_repo.sh \r\n$ sudo bash enable_lst_debain_repo.sh\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 2: Install OpenLiteSpeed on Debian\/Ubuntu<\/h3>\n
2.<\/strong>\u00a0Then install\u00a0OpenLiteSpeed 1.4<\/strong>\u00a0(the latest version at the time of this writing) with the\u00a0apt command<\/a>\u00a0below, which will install it under the\u00a0\/usr\/local\/lsws<\/strong>\u00a0directory. The service will also be started after installation is complete.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install openlitespeed\r\n<\/pre>\n
3.<\/strong>\u00a0After installing it, you can start and confirm the OpenLiteSpeed version by running like this<\/p>\n
$ \/usr\/local\/lsws\/bin\/lshttpd -v\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n
Check OpenLiteSpeed Version<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
4.<\/strong>\u00a0OpenLiteSpeed runs on port \u201c8088<\/strong>\u201d by default. If you have UFW firewall enabled on the system, update firewall rules to permit port\u00a08088<\/strong>\u00a0to access your default site on the server.<\/p>\n
$ sudo ufw allow 8088\/tcp\r\n$ sudo ufw reload\r\n<\/pre>\n
5.<\/strong>\u00a0Now open a web browser and type the following URL to verify the default page of OpenLiteSpeed.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/SERVER_IP:8088\/ \r\nor \r\nhttp:\/\/localhost:8088\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Verify<\/a><\/p>\n
Verify OpenLiteSpeed Page<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Step 3: Install PHP 7 for OpenLiteSpeed<\/h3>\n
6.<\/strong>\u00a0Next, install\u00a0PHP 7<\/strong>\u00a0with most needed modules for OpenLiteSpeed with the command below, it will install PHP as\u00a0\/usr\/local\/lsws\/lsphp70\/bin\/lsphp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install lsphp70 lsphp70-common lsphp70-mysql lsphp70-dev lsphp70-curl lsphp70-dbg\r\n<\/pre>\n
7.<\/strong>\u00a0If you want to install extra PHP modules, run the command below to list all the available modules.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install lsphp70-\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"List<\/a><\/p>\n
List PHP 7 Modules<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Step 4: Configure OpenLiteSpeed and PHP 7<\/h3>\n
8.<\/strong>\u00a0In this section, we will configure OpenLiteSpeed and PHP 7 with the standard HTTP port 80 as explained below.<\/p>\n
As we mentioned earlier on, OpenLiteSpeed comes with a\u00a0WebAdmin<\/strong>\u00a0console which listens on port\u00a07080<\/strong>. So, first start by setting the admin username and password for the OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console using the command below.<\/p>\n
$ sudo \/usr\/local\/lsws\/admin\/misc\/admpass.sh\r\n<\/pre>\n
Set OpenLiteSpeed Admin Account<\/div>\n
Please specify the user name of administrator.\r\nThis is the user name required to login the administration Web interface.\r\n\r\nUser name [admin]: tecmint\r\n\r\nPlease specify the administrator's password.\r\nThis is the password required to login the administration Web interface.\r\n\r\nPassword: \r\nRetype password: \r\nAdministrator's username\/password is updated successfully!\r\n<\/pre>\n
9.<\/strong>\u00a0Now add firewall rules to permit port\u00a07080<\/strong>\u00a0via the firewall to access the WebAdmin console.<\/p>\n
$ sudo ufw allow 7080\/tcp\r\n$ sudo ufw reload\r\n<\/pre>\n
10.<\/strong>\u00a0Now open a web browser and type the following URL to access OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/SERVER_IP:7080\r\nOR\r\nhttp:\/\/localhost:7080\r\n<\/pre>\n
Enter the username and password you set above, and click on \u201cLogin<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

16.<\/strong>\u00a0Add firewall rules to permit port 80 via the firewall.<\/p>\n
$ sudo ufw allow 80\/tcp\r\n$ sudo ufw reload\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 5: Test PHP 7 and OpenLiteSpeed Installation<\/h3>\n
17.<\/strong>\u00a0Finally verify that OpenLiteSpeed is running on port 80 and PHP 7 using following URL\u2019s.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/SERVER_IP\r\nhttp:\/\/SERVER_IP\/phpinfo.php \r\n<\/pre>\n
18.<\/strong>\u00a0To manage and control OpenLiteSpeed service, use these commands.<\/p>\n
# \/usr\/local\/lsws\/bin\/lswsctrl start            #start OpenLiteSpeed\r\n# \/usr\/local\/lsws\/bin\/lswsctrl stop             #Stop OpenLiteSpeed \r\n# \/usr\/local\/lsws\/bin\/lswsctrl restart          #gracefully restart OpenLiteSpeed (zero downtime)\r\n# \/usr\/local\/lsws\/bin\/lswsctrl help             #show OpenLiteSpeed commands\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 6: Install MariaDB for OpenLiteSpeed<\/h3>\n
20.<\/strong>\u00a0Install MariaDB database management system using following command.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install mariadb-server\r\n<\/pre>\n
21.<\/strong>\u00a0Next, start the MariaDB database system and secure its installation.<\/p>\n
$ sudo systemctl start mysql\r\n$ sudo mysql_secure_installation\r\n<\/pre>\n
After running the security script above, you will be prompted to enter the root password, simply press\u00a0[Enter]<\/strong>without providing it:<\/p>\n
Enter current password for root (enter for none):\r\n<\/pre>\n
