| + | LiteSpeed 6.0 and above do support ''ProxyPass'' directive as well as rewrite rule-based proxy with ''[P]'' without setting up an external app. ''ProxyAddHeaders on|off'' is also supported starting from 6.0.7. | ||
| - | LiteSpeed doesn't support ''ProxyPass'', ''ProxyPassReverse'' and other mod_proxy directives. However, you can use rewrite rules with ''[P]'' and set up an external app of the proxy in LSWS configuration to make it work fully. | + | LiteSpeed 5.4.x and earlier version do not support ''ProxyPass'', ''ProxyPassReverse'' and other mod_proxy directives(starting from LSWS 5.3.6, ''ProxyPass'' and-''ProxyPassMatch'' support for AJP backend have been added but not supported for non-AJP backend). However, you can use rewrite rules with ''[P]'' and set up an external app of the proxy in LSWS configuration to make it work fully. |

| + | ==== Example 4: cPanel webmail-like proxy ==== | ||
| + | cPanel's ''www.domain.com/webmail'' proxy loads one installation at ''<nowiki>http://127.0.0.1/rainloop/</nowiki>''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | An Apache user without a control panel who wants to copy this behavior may achieve it with ''ProxyPass'', like so: | ||
| + | ProxyPass "/webmail/" "http://127.0.0.1/rainloop/" | ||
| + | |||
| + | But LiteSpeed doesn't support ''ProxyPass'' in this case. Instead, a LiteSpeed user may simply use the following rewrite rule in the virtual host's Apache configuration. No need to create an external app: | ||
| + | RewriteRule /webmail/(.*) http://127.0.0.1/rainloop/$1 [P] | ||
