-====== How to install LiteSpeed from Command Line ======
+====== How to Set Up LiteSpeed Web Server from the Command Line ======
-Scope: Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition.
+This wiki covers how to set up LSWS (either Enterprise or Standard edition) from the command line on a server that already has a working Apache installation. This wiki guides the user through the steps necessary to install LSWS and build PHP. **This wiki assumes that the user already has a working Apache installation.** LSWS will automatically read and run off the Apache configs already on this server.
-Audience: Those familiar with Unix/Linux console command line environment and see GUI as distraction and overhead.
+This wiki is meant for those familiar with the Unix/Linux console command line environment that see a GUI as a distraction and overhead.
+This wiki is not meant for users using [[litespeed_wiki:cpanel:auto-installer|cPanel/WHM]], [[litespeed_wiki:plesk:installation|Plesk]], or [[litespeed_wiki:apache:da|DirectAdmin]]. Users using a control panel should use the guide associated with their control panel.
+===== Step 1: Download the LSWS package =====
-===== Step 1: Download LiteSpeed package =====
 Run the following commands from ssh as root
   cd /root
-  wget http://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/4.0/lsws-4.2.2-std-i386-linux.tar.gz
+  wget http://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/4.0/lsws-4.2.12-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
-//Note: on some system (Freebsd), fetch can be used
+**Note:** Replace the values in the URL to control for your OS and which version/[[litespeed_wiki:license:what_license_to_choose|edition]] of LSWS you wish to download:
-===== Step 2: Unpack and Install =====
+''lsws-4.2.12-ent-x86_64-linux'' = LSWS Enterprise 4.2.12 for 64bit Linux
-Unpack the tarball and install
+''lsws-4.2.10-std-i386-linux'' = LSWS Standard 4.2.10 for 32bit Linux
-  tar zxf  lsws-4.2.2-std-i386-linux.tar.gz
+''lsws-4.2.12-ent-x86_64-freebsd6'' = LSWS Enterprise 4.2.12 for 64bit FreeBSD 6.x
-  cd lsws-4.2.2
-  ./install.sh
-If you set Port Offset to "0", it may stop Apache and start LiteSpeed after a successful installation, you may want to switch back to Apache temporarily as we still need to build PHP binary for LiteSpeed.
+**Note:** On some systems (FreeBSD), fetch can be used.
-===== Step 3: Build matching PHP binary =====
+===== Step 2: Unpack and install =====
-There is a pre-built PHP 4 binary coming with LSWS, however, you should build your own PHP binary using matching configuration options used by Apache mod_php.
-<del>If LiteSpeed is running, you should switch back to Apache temporarily by clicking "switch to Apache" link.</del>
+Unpack the tarball and run the install script
-Then, click "Build Matching PHP binary" link. It is going take a while.
-**NOTE:**If you see below error message when Build Matching PHP, try increase "Max cPanel process memory (minimum: 256)" in cPanel (Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings) to at lease 512MB.
+  tar zxf  lsws-4.2.12-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
+  cd lsws-4.2.12
+  ./install.sh
-<file>
+The installer will ask you a number of questions (covered in detail [[http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/install|here]]).
-Found Errors
-ERROR: /usr/local/bin/php -i returns 134
+**Note:** The installer will ask you to set a port offset. It may be best to set Port Offset to a number other than "0". If Port Offset is set to "0", LSWS may stop Apache and start LSWS after a successful installation. This is not ideal, since we still need to build the PHP binary for LiteSpeed.
-You can try to build matching PHP from command line:
+===== Step 3: Build matching PHP =====
-"/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/cgi/lsws/cmd_buildmatchingphp.sh"
-</file>
+LSWS comes with a pre-built PHP 5 binary, but this only contains the barest of configurations and is not enough to run most websites. You should build your own PHP binary using configuration options to match those used by Apache.
+You can build PHP in two ways:
+  - Using the WebAdmin console. This is highly recommended, even for users who generally prefer the command line, as it combines steps. Simply access the WebAdmin through port 7080 and go to Actions > Compile PHP. There you will be guided through the steps to build PHP.
+  - [[litespeed_wiki:php:lsapi|From the command line.]]
 ===== Step 4: Start LiteSpeed again =====

 That's it.
-**WARNING:** Do **NOT** uncheck "httpd" service under WHM service manager, otherwise WHM wont restart LiteSpeed automatically when configuration has been changed.
