How to Migrate from Apache to LiteSpeed Enterprise with N0C Panel

Migrating from an Apache server to a LiteSpeed Enterprise server is a great way to improve website performance, security, and scalability.

When using the N0C panel, the process is streamlined and can be managed directly from the account management interface.

Today, we will explore the three steps involved in the migration.

Step 1. Preparations

Before migrating, it’s important to configure the hosting environment properly. Here are the prerequisites:

• Ensure you have a Pro package.
• Allocate sufficient resources: 8 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and 16 MB/s IO for each web hosting account.

Meeting these requirements ensures a smooth migration and optimal LiteSpeed performance. If resources are not optimized, issues such as configuration errors or bottlenecks may occur, similar to the ones discussed in Fatal Error in LiteSpeed Configuration.

Step 2. Migration via the Account Management Interface

The actual migration takes place within the Account Management interface. Once inside, proceed with the migration request. The method depends on the display mode:

• Tabular display: Tick the domain(s) to be migrated and click Migrate to LiteSpeed.
• Detailed display: Hover over the domain’s dialog box and click Migrate to LiteSpeed.

If resources are sufficient, confirm the migration by clicking Migrate.

After submission, the PlanetHoster team will send an email acknowledgment along with further instructions.

Furthermore, we can also possibly migrate through the account details interface. For those managing different hosting setups, similar migration principles apply when switching platforms. For example, here’s a walkthrough on how to Switch from OpenLiteSpeed to LiteSpeed Enterprise in CyberPanel.

Step 3. Activating LSCache Extension

LiteSpeed performance is greatly enhanced when combined with the LSCache plugin. The installation steps vary depending on the CMS in use.

• The LSCache CMS plugin will not install if another cache plugin is present. For example, WordPress users running WP-Rocket must remove it first.
• Simply disabling or deleting WP-Rocket may not be enough. It often leaves behind the file:

  /public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php

  If this file contains the line:

  define( ‘WP_ROCKET_ADVANCED_CACHE’, true );

  It must be manually deleted before installing LSCache.

Migrating from cPanel to N0C

If moving from cPanel to N0C, the process is largely automated but requires some planning.

1. Coordinate with support staff to schedule a convenient migration time, since there will be a brief outage.
2. Place a maintenance page on your site to inform visitors during the transition.
3. Use the hosting management interface to initiate the migration.
4. To update the DNS manually to point to:

   
   
   nsa.n0c.com
   
   nsb.n0c.com
   
   nsc.n0c.com
   
   
5. Expect a DNS propagation delay, during which a “Website moved” message may appear temporarily.
6. Update passwords for additional FTP accounts via the N0C panel.
