Installing DA with Litespeed
- Thread starter av_admin
- Start date
I only have experience with Red Hat compatible binaries (Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Centos), but according to this page ubuntu should work:
If you're installing LiteSpeed or OpenLiteSpeed, you do not need to install Apache / nginx.
If you're installing LiteSpeed or OpenLiteSpeed, you do not need to install Apache / nginx.
I do not remember, looks like apache might be the default and you can switch to litespeed / openlitespeed. See here:
I was installed but there have problems in ubuntu and decide to install on centos 7
in installation process , there where no options for selecting the webserver and by defualt installed the appache ...
Thanks for your help.
Have fun.
Why Centos 7? RockyLinux and AlmaLinux might be better options since they are based on RedHat 8. I have done this on RockyLinux myself. Take a look at the EOL information for Centos 7. It's stopped getting full updates back in 2020 and is only getting maintenance updates through 6/30/2024. RockyLinux / AlmaLinux, which is based on Red Hat 8 will go end of life in 2029.
Best Option? In everyone's case the best option might be different. But earlier you said you were going to do a clean install. Ubuntu didnt work out for some reason, then you went to Centos 7. Well Centos 7.9 was released back in November 2020 and maintenance releases stop around July of 2024. If you have the option of picking an operating system at this point, it would make more sense to pick one with a longer support life.
Hopefully you know that all Centos are based on Red Hat binaries and that a decision was made (Red Hat controls Centos) in 2020 and that Centos 8 went out of support late last year (2021) as they moved to something called Centos Stream, which many of us feel is not production stable. From this issue AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux emerged, which are share binaries with Red Hat 8, which is supported through 2029. Take a look here in terms of DirectAdmin support too:
I hate to be the bearer of bad new, but unless you want to do an upgrade in two years, there are better choices than Centos 7.
