Install on CentOS5.5, Plesk, need to work with vBulletin

[Alan_SP]

Ok, I installed standard version (you can see it from the name) using this commands:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/4.0/lsws-4.0.20-std-i386-linux.tar.gz
tar xvfz lsws*
cd lsws*
./install.sh

From instructions explained here: http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...i:apache:plesk

I left HTTP port at 8088.

After that I went to compile PHP, used this config:

--prefix=/lsphp5   --with-litespeed   --with-libdir=lib  --disable-debug   --with-pic   --disable-rpath   --without-pear   --with-bz2 --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/litespeed/php.d --with-config-file-path=/etc/litespeed  --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin   --with-freetype-dir=/usr   --with-png-dir=/usr   --with-xpm-dir=/usr   --enable-gd-native-ttf   --without-gdbm   --with-t1lib=/usr   --with-gettext   --with-gmp   --with-iconv   --with-jpeg-dir=/usr   --with-openssl   --with-pcre=shared,/usr   --with-zlib   --with-layout=GNU   --enable-exif   --enable-ftp   --enable-magic-quotes   --enable-sockets   --enable-sysvsem   --enable-sysvshm   --enable-sysvmsg   --with-kerberos   --enable-ucd-snmp-hack   --enable-shmop   --enable-calendar   --without-mime-magic   --without-sqlite   --with-libxml-dir=/usr   --enable-xml   --with-system-tzdata   --enable-force-cgi-redirect   --enable-pcntl   --with-imap=shared   --with-imap-ssl   --enable-mbstring=shared   --enable-mbregex   --with-ncurses=shared   --with-gd=shared   --enable-bcmath=shared   --enable-dba=shared   --with-db4=/usr   --with-xmlrpc=shared   --with-ldap=shared   --with-ldap-sasl   --with-mysql=shared,/usr   --with-mysqli=shared,/usr/bin/mysql_config   --enable-dom=shared   --with-pgsql=shared   --enable-wddx=shared   --with-snmp=shared,/usr   --enable-soap=shared   --with-xsl=shared,/usr   --enable-xmlreader=shared   --enable-xmlwriter=shared   --with-curl=shared,/usr   --enable-fastcgi   --enable-pdo=shared   --with-pdo-odbc=shared,unixODBC,/usr   --with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr   --with-pdo-pgsql=shared,/usr   --with-pdo-sqlite=shared,/usr   --with-pdo-dblib=shared,/usr   --enable-json=shared   --enable-zip=shared   --with-readline   --enable-dbase=shared   --with-pspell=shared   --with-mcrypt=shared,/usr   --with-mhash=shared,/usr   --with-tidy=shared,/usr   --with-mssql=shared,/usr   --enable-sysvmsg=shared   --enable-sysvshm=shared   --enable-sysvsem=shared   --enable-posix=shared   --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr

I included xcache, in custom config directories I put ini files for xcache and php.ini, with correct xcache.so path.

When I check php with /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 -v I see it runs with xcache and with -i I see correct settings from xcache.ini. So I think php is compiled correctly.

Now, problem is, when I go to my sites URL with :2080 I don't see my site. When I go there without 2080 port, I see it, and when I check php version, it's 5.2.17 (I compiled for Litespeed latest 5.3.6).

What happend and why, I don't know. Like it didn't collected information from Plesk configuration as it should did. Plesk is 10.0.1. This is my test server, I want to test it before I try it on my production server. What's happend, I really don't know. Test server works fine through URL (on Apache), LiteSpeed Admin console works fine, no problem there (at least I didn't see any).

But something's wrong, it didn't replaced apache server for Plesk. It shows pages when you don't have anything there. I copied my web directory in /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html, here files couldn't be executed, but their contents was shown when I pointed directly to them.

Server's VPS, there's only my site, for my testing purposes. Anyway, I need it to be able to run vBulletin (v4), some perl (they need cgi-bin) and php scripts.

[Alan_SP]

I just played with some options, it seems that directory of my site isn't imported and when I set it manually, Litespeed console says that directory is unreadable.

[NiteWave]

1.
#netstat -ntlp
to check if litespeed is running

2.try run litespeed on port 80 to see if it works:
--- stop Apache, change Apache Port Offset to 0, restart LSWS, all hosted web sites are powered by LiteSpeed now.

3. since not for shared hosting setup, try
PHP suEXEC => No

[NiteWave]

build php may have problem. for all option with "shared", need build additional .so as well. or remove all "shared", rebuild php again.

[Alan_SP]

Litespeed is running. I stoped Apache, but there's still error. It opens default Apache page, but of course, servered with Litespeed.

I'll try later with rebuilding php, and report what's going on.

I don't know why, but it just doesn't show what I have in my htmldocs directory. Like it didn't imported all of Plesk configurations.

[webizen]

how many vhosts in plesk? keep in mind that standard lsws only takes 5 vhosts from apache config.

[Alan_SP]

I have only one site (vhost), just for my site, I'm not in hosting my server to others.

When I was installing, I didn't choose to have PHP installed right away, but I compiled it afterwards.

These are errors I see when I go to web console:

2011-03-31 08:49:41.468 WARN [] can't set 'Forced Type', undefined MIME Type handler/default-handler

2011-03-31 08:49:41.478 WARN [] can't set 'Forced Type', undefined MIME Type handler/default-handler

There's only this virtual host in settings:

Example $SERVER_ROOT/DEFAULT/

As I see it, for some reason process of importing my virtual host (as I have only one) didn't succeded. Any suggestions?

I would probably try to reinstall it from the beginning, but do you have some suggestions, what should I try before? My test server is VPS, on Virtuozzo.

Procesor GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz
Version Parallels Plesk Panel v10.0.1_build109101029.17 os_CentOS 5
OS Linux 2.6.18-028stab070.3

Pleask create too many junk vhosts before your real vhost, so it wont work well with standard edition of LSWS due to the 5 vhosts limit.
You need a VPS license or configure your vhost in LSWS natively.

[Alan_SP]

How I create my real vhost manually? What should I delete from Plesk files and try automatic recognition by Litespeed, or what options I need to use in Litespeed?

I could delete everything, it's my test server, but I need to know what exactley is junk vhost, as I'll have similar situation on my live server, but there I couldn't make mistake.

For now I'm just testing Litespeed and after I'll buy license (2 processors or 4, I have dedicated server), if I'm satisfied how it all works together.

[mistwang]

your best option is to use our trial license on your test server and use it together with plesk.
If you are satisfied, then purchase a license for your production server.
