Web Cache Web Server Configuration - Apache Config (No Control Panel)

Set Server level cache root

Set a server level cache root by add the following to your server level Apache config file:

<IfModule Litespeed>
CacheRoot /home/lscache/
</IfModule>

Set virtual host level cache root

The vhost host level cache root is normally a per user cache root set to a subfolder under a user's home directory.

If using a virtual host include file (as opposed to .htaccess) a relative path can be used for “CacheRoot” such as

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
  CacheRoot lscache
</IfModule>

The cache directory will be created automatically by lsws as “lscache” if not exists under user's home directory.

Notes: If different vhosts share the same document root, these vhosts have to share the same vhost level cache root directory.

LiteSpeed Cache default settings work well with most caching scenarios. For shared hosting environment, please don't change any of the Server Level default cache policy settings and leave them as “Not Set”.

Cache Policy:
Enable Public Cache:Not Set
Check Public Cache:Not Set
Max Object Size:Not Set
Cache Expire Time (seconds):Not Set
Cache Stale Age (seconds)Not Set
Cache Request with Query String:Not Set
Cache Request with Cookie:Not Set
Cache Response with Cookie:Not Set
Ignore Request Cache-Control:Not Set
Ignore Response Cache-Control:Not Set
Enable Private Cache:Not Set
Check Private Cache:Not Set
Private Cache Expire Time (seconds):Not Set

Add the following Apache style configuration directive in .htaccess to enable cache lookup.

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
   CacheLookup public on
</IfModule>

Perform a web server graceful restart.

Note: Shared hosting providers can selectively enable LSCache by setting Check Public Cache to “No” at the server level (Configuration»Server»Cache»Cache Policy) and then adding this directive in the .htaccess file of a specific WordPress installation. This will have the effect of turning on LSCache for only this site, allowing you to choose which sites have caching enabled.
