 +Here are some possible reasons why your LiteSpeed Web Server WebAdmin page may not be available.
  
 +===== Firewall is Blocking Port 7080 =====
 On occasion you may run into problems accessing the LSWS WebAdmin Console. We have found that in most cases this is due to it being blocked by a firewall. LSWS uses port 7080 for the WebAdmin Console/​Panel by default. This port must be open to be accessible from outside of your server. ​ On occasion you may run into problems accessing the LSWS WebAdmin Console.

-If after these steps you are still unable to access the WebAdmin Console page, it is possible that some external firewall may be causing the problem. If this is the case you will have to find it and change it accordingly.+===== Error 403 in LiteSpeed WebAdmin ===== 
 +There is an option to restrict access to the WebAdmin. If you forget to add your IP address, or if it changes, you can edit it from the configuration file in ''/​usr/​local/​lsws/​admin/​conf/​admin_config.xml'':​

 +   </​accessControl>​ 
 + </​security>​ 
 +</​code>​ 
 + 
 +Put your IP address in the allow list. For multiple IP addresses it looks like this: 
 +<​code>​ <​allow>​XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,​ XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX</​allow>​ </​code>​

 +===== External Firewall =====  ​ 
 +Ifafter these stepsyou are still unable to access the WebAdmin Console page, it is possible that some external firewall may be causing the problem. If this is the case you will have to find it and change it accordingly.

 +===== LSWS is not running? ===== 
 +If LSWS is not running, LiteSpeed Web Server WebAdmin page won't be available for sure. 
 + 
 +Check if your LSWS is running: 
 +  ps -ef | grep litespeed 
 + 
 +On cpanel, you may run Apache instead of LSWS at that time. The following command should show which server is running: 
 +  ps -ef | grep httpd
