If you wanted to try openlitespeed, go with the openlitepanel.com script. It’s simple and handles all your settings with a simple click.

In reply to Satria. I also got the same issue, but before I install openlitespeed, I installing the EPEL repo first.

# yum install epel-release
# yum repolist all
# yum install openlitespeed

In reply to Satria. @Satria, The default document root is /usr/local/lsws, but you can use any path for virtual hosting like /var/www/html/.

Hi, it is a great tutorial, but I want to share my experience with it. When I using command:

# yum install openlitespeed

there are error like below:

[root@myserver ]# yum install openlitespeed
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:57 ago on Fri 07 Aug 2020 09:37:16 AM WIB.
Error:
 Problem: package openlitespeed-1.6.14-3.el8.x86_64 requires lsphp73-mcrypt, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides libmcrypt.so.4()(64bit) needed by lsphp73-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.3-1.el8.7.3.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

But it's can solved by using --nobest, then installation is smooth.

[root@myserver ]# yum install openlitespeed --nobest

My Question is where is the folder work project (www)? Any anwers is much appreciated!
