+===== Does LSWS Support the "Concurrent" Type of Audit Log? =====
-No. LSWS currently only supports the serial mode for audit logging. Since LiteSpeed is event-driven, not like Apache, which that can have multiple processes and could change UID.
+No. LiteSpeed Web Server only supports the **serial** mode for audit logging.
+A concurrent-mode audit log is only useful for servers like Apache which is process-driven and has multiple processes that may change UID. LiteSpeed is event-driven, and as such, concurrent mode is not needed.
+===== Unsupported Variable Error ====

+We try to keep LSWS compatible with the latest mod_security 2.5(and above) and gotroot rules. LSWS supports most of these rules. We attempt not to miss any really important features/rules used in the real world, and we regularly add support for more features based on our user feedback.  However, because of the complexity and fluctuating nature of these security rules, it is not possible to be 100% compatible with Apache at any one time.
+The above error messages simply mean the given variables are not supported by LSWS yet. The errors can simply be ignored. We periodically review our mod_security engine and frequently add new support. Stay tuned.
