How do I install LiteSpeed?

Answer

1. Access the server's command line as the root user via SSH or Terminal in WHM.

2. Remove the /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/lsws folder if it exists.

   # rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/lsws

3. Download the LiteSpeed installer.

   # wget https://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/cpanel/lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh

4. Update the script's permissions.

   # chmod a+x lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh

5. Run the lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh script.

   # ./lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh $serial

   Note: "$serial" must be replaced with your LiteSpeed serial number, available from your license provider.
