| - | ===== Stopping Nginx Reverse Proxy Before LiteSpeed Installation ===== | ||
| - | The latest version of Plesk may configure Nginx as a reverse proxy server that sits in between the Internet and Apache. Before installing LSWS, please turn off Nginx reverse proxy so that Apache is the only web server handling live traffic. Not stopping the Nginx reverse proxy will cause system errors and block the LiteSpeed process from being started. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ** Stopping Nginx reverse proxy: ** | ||
| - | |||
| - | From the Plesk Admin Console, navigate to... | ||
| - | |||
| - | Server Management -> Tools and Settings -> Server Management -> Services Management -> Reverse Proxy Server (nginx) | ||
| - | |||
| - | ...and click the stop button {{:litespeed_wiki:plesk-stop-button.png}}. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Verify that no nginx process is still running with the following command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | ps -ef | grep nginx | grep master | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you do not see any output than the process has been stopped.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | If instead you see the following output: | ||
| - | |||
| - | root 16379 1 0 09:45 ? 00:00:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | ||
| - | | ||
| - | the Nginx reverse proxy has not yet been stopped and must still be stopped before attempting LiteSpeed installation. | ||
