Errors when trying to turn off Apache and on LSWS

[capbiker]

I am trying to migrate my new VPS from apache to LSWS.

I have signed up for a trial license until such time I have got it configured correctly before moving my permant license from my old server.

I have installed LSWS, but having problems starting LSWS. When I am looking at the error logs I am seeing:-


2010-01-23 13:40:10.328 [ERROR] [config:server:basic] Invalid user name:apache!


What does that mean?

does "apache" user exist ?

[capbiker]

No it don't, and as far as I know it never existed.

during the installation, when prompt:
Will you use LiteSpeed Web Server with a hosting control panel?

0. NONE
1. cPanel
2. DirectAdmin
3. Plesk
4. Hsphere
5. Lxadmin
6. ISPManager

you select which?

[capbiker]

cPanel and it actually installed the cPanel plugin that lets me control it through that.

And even when I try using that to restart/switch it, I get the same error

You should remove /usr/local/lsws or the directory that LSWS installed to, then start from scratch.
If you select cPanel, "nobody" user is used instead of "apache". So, you must be selected something other than cPanel when you first install LSWS.
