Thanks. I have seen various instructions on how to set this up under LiteSpeed. Can you point me to the proper step-by-step instructions?

Thank you. Which opcode cache would you recommend? Will it work even though I compiled with suPHP? I know that, on Apache, an opcode cache will not work with suPHP. Mark

Thanks. Let me clarify...what is the best way for me to set up the best LiteSpeed configuration for performance and security... I am used to compiling in EasyApache. Should I continue to do it with suPHP, or should I use FCGI, or does it not even matter which one I choose, since LSAPI will...

I know that, in cPanel, the default FastCGI configuration is said to be insecure because the PHP binary is in each virtual host. In addition, it's said that there is a lot of configuration required to make sure that unused PHP processes do not remain too long. If I compile EasyApache with...

Hi, What is the best way to set up an opcode cache for LiteSpeed? I have heard various facts about this, some of which conflict with each other. In case it's relevant, our Apache setup included suPHP. Please let me know which opcode cache will give the best performance and reliability...

Hi Again, We are deploying a new server over the weekend, and we have decided that we will not even consider using LiteSpeed on it until we receive answers for the questions asked previously: How secure is LiteSpeed now? (In other words, how much of the mod_security functionality is...

Thanks for the reply. However it's highly technical...I'm wondering if you can explain in laymen's terms: How secure is LiteSpeed now? (In other words, how much of the mod_security functionality is missing?) When will additional security be added? When will LiteSpeed offer the full...

Of course Mike's answer is way over my head. However, in laymen's terms, I'd like a similar answer: Exactly what mod_security protection does LiteSpeed provide? Is it full support for all rules? Or is it limited...and, if so, HOW limited? In today's security climate, vague answers simply...

Are updated rules available?

I just mean that we need the most comprehensive protection available. I don't know all the terminology...can you tell me right now if LiteSpeed offers the same mod_security protection as Apache? If not, what features are missing? I am not trying to be a pest...this is a very important issue...

Thanks for the info. I'd like to ask both of you... If I'm setting up a new server with LiteSpeed right now (under cPanel/WHM), what do I need to do in order to get the best mod_security protection? Given that not all the 2.x rules are compatible, will the gotroot set break LiteSpeed...

Of course, it is concerning that these differences were not spelled out prominently. LiteSpeed is advertised as "APACHE INTERCHANGEABLE". That implies that it is functionally equivalent, however this is not the case in terms of mod_security. And, of course, security is critical in today's...

To clarify, here is what gotroot says about LiteSpeed and mod_security: Is this true? If so, this is very concerning because LiteSpeed is advertised as a completely Apache-compatible, drop-in replacement. However, if the comments above are true, LiteSpeed ignores an important, major part of...

Hello, I've heard a good bit of concerning talk about LiteSpeed's support (or lack of support) for mod_security. For example, the gotroot people say that LS does not fully support mod_security, and therefore many of the rules and protections are ineffective. I've seen similar claims...

Yes. Yes. Can do either, I believe. Typical scenario is to have it replace Apache entirely. HTH. Mark

Hi, I'm evaluating LiteSpeed under cPanel/WHM. So far, so good, but I have a few questions. First, does LiteSpeed automatically find and use my mod_security rules, as long as Apache was able to use them successfully? Second, I heard something about LiteSpeed skipping some mod_security...
