| - | Most applications will use either LSAPI or FastCGI protocol. LSAPI supports PHP, Ruby, and Python. Perl can be used with FastCGI. (PHP, Ruby, and Python can also be set up to run using FastCGI, but they run faster using LSAPI.) Java uses servlet engines. | + | Most applications will use either LSAPI or FastCGI protocol.

| - | The first thing you will set is the interface by which the server communicates with the external application. LiteSpeed Web Server works with a number of protocols — FastCGI, Servlet Engine, HTTP, etc. — but it runs fastest when external applications are built for LiteSpeed Server API (LSAPI). LSAPI has currently been developed for PHP, Ruby, and Python. Perl applications can be run with FastCGI. (PHP, Ruby, and Python can also be built for fCGI, though they are faster when used with LSAPI.) Java is run using AJPv13 (and you will have to install a separate servlet engine, such as Apache Tomcat, to run the application). | + | The first thing you will set is the interface by which the server communicates with the external application.
