Installing LiteSpeed Web Server with CustomBuild 2.0

Starting with CustomBuild 2.0 RC7, DirectAdmin's CustomBuild 2.0 supports integration with LiteSpeed Web Server. This wiki will guide you through the steps to installing LSWS on a server using DirectAdmin with CustomBuild 2.0.

This wiki assumes that you already have a working server using DirectAdmin (version 1.45.2 and up), CustomBuild 2.0, and Apache.

Using the command line, LSWS can be installed with the following commands:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set webserver litespeed
./build set php1_mode lsphp
./build litespeed
./build php n

The commands above install LSWS with a trial license and build PHP for LSWS.

Now that LSWS is installed, follow the steps in the wiki on activating licenses to switch from the trial license to a purchased license.

Notes:

• CustomBuild 2.0 will always install the latest version of LSWS.
• If you have an existing installation of LSWS, you will still need to run the above commands to see LSWS in CustomBuild and DirectAdmin's Service Manager.
