 ====== LSCache + PrestaShop Configuration ======
-LSCache, similar to Varnish cache, is a simpler and more efficient page caching solution built-in to LiteSpeed Web Server. When used in conjunction with PrestaShop, you can expect significant performance gains with a quick and easy setup. Cache management is also made significantly easier and more flexible. While the LiteSpeed cache plugin for Prestashop is still in development, rewrite rules can still be used to customize LSCache's behavior.
+**Note: This page describes an easy way to set up simple caching for PrestaShop installations. With the release of LiteSpeed Cache for PrestaShop, though, this solution is now deprecated. [[litespeed_wiki:cache:lscps|Click here]] for the LiteSpeed Cache for PrestaShop installation and configuration manual.**

-**Note1:**  The **"CacheDisable public /"** directive is used to help protect against globally enabled caching and is optional. Instead, the server's global cache settings should be checked to ensure that cache is not enabled globally. **Do NOT** use **"CacheEnable public /"** here as it will enable caching for all URLs belonging to this virtual host, including admin pages.

 ===== Verify Cache Setup =====
-Open your browsers inspector, by right-clicking and selecting "Inspector" or pressing the F12 key, and refresh the page. Under the "Network" tab look for the HTML page you just loaded and clikc on it to view it's response header.
+Look for ''X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit'' in the reply headers. [[litespeed_wiki:cache:no-plugin-setup-guidline#verify_that_pages_are_served_from_the_cache|See more detailed directions here]].
-In the response header you should see ''X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit'' to indicate that the page was served from cache successfully. If you see ''X-LiteSpeed-Cache: miss'', reload the page and check again.
 ===== Deleting Outdated Cache Files Using A Cron Job =====
-**Note:** LSWS will now delete expired cache files automatically, making this step optional. A cron job can still be set up to help ensure that the cache works as expected, clearing out pages that may have been misconfigured to have a very long TTL.
+Please refer to [[litespeed_wiki:cache:no-plugin-setup-guidline#deleting_outdated_cache_files_using_a_cron_job|this wiki]] to learn how to clean up outdated cache files.
-A cron job should be set to clear out old cache files that are past the set **Time To Live (TTL)**.
-To do this, you should run the crontab either as the root user or as the cache owner for self management.
-<code>crontab -e</code>
-The virtual host cache root directory is normally located in **/home/$USER/lscache** for shared hosting users or **/tmp/diskspace** for dedicated servers.
-<code>*/10 * * * * root find /virtualhost/cache/root/directory/ -type f -mmin +8 -delete 2>/dev/null</code>
-**Note:** This cron job deletes cached files that are more than 8 minutes old every 10 minutes. Since the cache TTL is set at 120 seconds (2 minutes), it is safe to delete these files as they are way past their TTL.
