How to uninstall LiteSpeed Web Server

Today, our experts are going to demonstrate how to uninstall Litespeed with ease.

Uninstalling LiteSpeed Web Server is a simple process that can be completed in a few simple steps. This article will walk us through the steps of uninstalling the LiteSpeed Web Server from our server.

Before we begin, our experts would like to point out that uninstalling LiteSpeed will remove all of its components. This includes the web server software and as well as any associated configuration files. In other words, this will bring down any websites hosted on the server, until a new web server is installed.

1. First, we have to convert our server to use the Apache web server by running the command as the root user:

   /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/cp_switch_ws.sh apache
2. Then, we have to verify that Apache is running via WHM’s Apache Status interface. We can do this by navigating to Apache Status under Server Status in the Home section in the WHM.
3. Next, we have to uninstall the LiteSpeed Web server plugin by running the WHM plugin uninstallation script:

   /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/lsws/lsws_whm_plugin_uninstall.sh
4. Now, it is time to remove the Litespeed web server files from our server. We can do this with the following command:

   /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/uninstall.sh
5. If we purchased the LiteSpeed Web Server via the cPanel Store we have to create a touch file. This file is responsible for stopping the upcp script from reinstalling LiteSpeed during the next WHM and cPanel update. We can create the touch file with this command:

   touch /var/cpanel/disable_auto_lsws
6. Finally, we can restart the server.
