Is the DA implementation of OLS stable enough for production WordPress sites?

[zwankie]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure there are people here who have experience with this and I would like to hear honest feedback on this please.

1. Is the DA implementation of OLS stable enough for production WordPress sites?
2. If not, please state why and if it could be fixed/corrected on DA or not.

3. Has anyone migrated a WordPress website from Apache+Nginx to OLS?
4. If yes, was there any special changes to be made to anything on DA or in .htaccess or OLS?

Thanks

OLS only support .htaccess rewrite, not for directives. eg. "deny from all" and reloading by scanning script like clamav_pureftpd, or reloading with cronjobs, so script from wordpress that have directly change .htaccess, will not work properly.

If your script use some thing like "deny from all", you should change it to rewrite rules to deny access file/folder.

I can at least answer 1, which is Yes - DA / OLS is stable enough for production WordPress sites. I have not migrated from any other configuration.

OLS is stable enough for wordpress sites but I find it can be difficult to debug if there are ever problems. I personally don't like to run it on a server with tons of domains.

* As stated above yes some .htaccess options don't work. deny from all (if you wanted to deny an entire directory) would need to turn to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

* Header in .htaccess also is unsupported.

* For .htaccess reload you need to add a cron https://openlitespeed.org/kb/reload-openlitespeed-automatically-with-directadmin/

* cgi will not work outside of cgi-bin with out manual changes - for wordpress not an issue.

The wordpress caching plugin from litespeed works very well.
