How do I configure and manage the OpenLiteSpeed Web Server in CWP7?
Welcome to this informative article that will guide you through the process of configuring and managing the OpenLiteSpeed Web Server in CWP7. OpenLiteSpeed is a high-performance, open-source web server developed by LiteSpeed Technologies. CWP7, also known as CentOS Web Panel, is a free web hosting control panel that simplifies the administration of servers.
Step 1: Install OpenLiteSpeed Web Server
The first step is to install OpenLiteSpeed on your server. Follow the steps below:
- Login to your server, either via SSH or through the CWP7 control panel.
- Open a terminal and run the following command to install OpenLiteSpeed:
bash <(curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cwp-lslite/master/lslite.sh) - Wait for the installation to complete.
Step 2: Access the OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin Panel
Once OpenLiteSpeed is installed, you can access the WebAdmin panel to configure and manage the server. Follow the steps below:
- Open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://your-server-ip:7080 - Replace "your-server-ip" with the actual IP address or hostname of your server.
- Enter your login credentials when prompted. The default username is "admin" and the password can be found in the "/usr/local/lsws/adminpasswd" file.
Step 3: Configure Virtual Hosts
Virtual Hosts allow you to host multiple websites on a single OpenLiteSpeed installation. Follow the steps below to configure virtual hosts:
- In the WebAdmin panel, click on "Virtual Hosts" in the left-side menu.
- Click on the "+Add" button to create a new virtual host.
- Enter the necessary details, such as the domain name, document root, and PHP version.

Step 4: Manage Server and Services
In the WebAdmin panel, you can manage various aspects of the OpenLiteSpeed server and its services. Here are a few useful actions you can perform:
- To start, stop, or restart the OpenLiteSpeed server, click on the "Server" tab and use the relevant buttons.
- To manage PHP settings, extensions, and versions, click on the "LSAPI" tab and make the necessary changes.
