OpenLiteSpeed Benchmark

OpenLiteSpeed configuration file

/usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd_config.conf

To start/stop/restart, use

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl status

OpenLiteSpeed web server stores cache in directory /usr/local/lsws/cachedata. This can grow big over time. You can delete this folder to free up space or move it to another partition with free disk space and create a symlink.

To set/reset the WebAdmin password, run

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/admpass.sh

Update OpenLiteSpeed

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lsup.sh -v 1.8.1

You can login to WebAdmin at
