How to set up DirectAdmin to use LiteSpeed instead of Apache?

Enabling the DirectAdmin to use LiteSpeed as the web server rather than Apache is the first step in moving from Apache to LiteSpeed within the framework. Let’s see the steps to set up the system:

i. Make sure that any custom setups, scripts on the website, and applications we use are compatible with LiteSpeed. Make that all Apache-specific directives in the configuration files have been changed to work with LiteSpeed.

ii. Initially, set up the LiteSpeed on the server.

iii. Then, set LiteSpeed to use the identical PHP versions and configs as with Apache. Also, make sure that PHP scripts and other elements needed by the websites are supported by LiteSpeed.

iv. Access the DirectAdmin panel.

v. Then, go to DirectAdmin’s “Admin Level”.

vi. Click on the “LiteSpeed Web Server” settings after selecting “Server Manager” >> “LiteSpeed Web Server.”

vii. Click “Change Web Server” and select “LiteSpeed.”

viii. DirectAdmin will automatically update the virtual host config to use LiteSpeed after modifying the web server. Check to make sure the settings are correct for the websites.

ix. Make sure that SSL certificates are proper for LiteSpeed if the websites use SSL.

x. Make sure the websites and apps are working properly with LiteSpeed by giving them a thorough test. Keep an eye out for any odd activity or problem messages.
