Michael Alegre [Stop Nginx Reverse Proxy Before LiteSpeed Installation]
@@ Line 3: / Line 3: @@
 This wiki covers how to install LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) and LiteSpeed's [[http://www.litespeedtech.com/products/control-panel-plugins/plesk-extension|Plesk Extension]] on a Plesk server. We assume that you have a working Apache-Plesk setup. While there are multiple ways to go about the installation, this wiki will only cover installing the Plesk Extension first and then installing LSWS from the extension.
-===== Stopping Nginx Reverse Proxy Before LiteSpeed Installation =====
-The latest version of Plesk may configure Nginx as a reverse proxy server that sits in between the Internet and Apache. Before installing LSWS, please turn off Nginx reverse proxy so that Apache is the only web server handling live traffic. Not stopping the Nginx reverse proxy will cause system errors and block the LiteSpeed process from being started.
-** Stopping Nginx reverse proxy: **
-From the Plesk Admin Console, navigate to...
-Server Management -> Tools and Settings -> Server Management -> Services Management -> Reverse Proxy Server (nginx)
-...and click the stop button {{:litespeed_wiki:plesk-stop-button.png}}.
-Verify that no nginx process is still running with the following command:
-  ps -ef | grep nginx | grep master
-If you do not see any output than the process has been stopped.\\
-If instead you see the following output:
-  root    16379    1  0 09:45 ?     00:00:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
-the Nginx reverse proxy has not yet been stopped and must still be stopped before attempting LiteSpeed installation.
 ===== Prerequisites =====
   - OS: Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, or MacOSX
   - A working Apache setup
-  - Plesk 11 or higher
+  - Plesk 11.5 or higher
 ===== Install the Plesk Extension =====

 Click "Switch to LiteSpeed". This will stop Apache and switch LSWS to your main server ports — 80 and 443.
