Appearance

LiteSpeed Settings ​

Where this lives now: this screen is part of LiteSpeed on the settings tab. Its address is /admin/web-server/litespeed?tab=settings, and the old ones redirect there.

The LiteSpeed Settings page manages the server configuration through a tabbed interface. When LiteSpeed runs as the Apache drop-in, this page edits the same configuration as MyApache Settings.

This page is the per-view reference for the settings view. For where it fits in the full workflow, see Integrations > LiteSpeed.

Overview ​

URL: /admin/web-server/litespeed?tab=settings

In Apache drop-in mode, the panel keeps one shared set of server settings. Any change you make here - whether on this page or on MyApache Settings - applies to whichever web server is currently active. There is no separate LiteSpeed-only configuration.

In native mode ​

Since panel 1.9.0, LiteSpeed can run in native mode (see LiteSpeed Dashboard). In native mode LiteSpeed does not read the Apache configuration, so the Apache-style settings on this tab (modules, process limits, request limits) are stored but not applied, and the tab says so. Real visitor IP settings still apply. The shared configuration described above applies to a LiteSpeed that runs as the Apache drop-in.

Since panel 1.9.2, while LiteSpeed Enterprise in native mode is the web server, Web Server shows no Apache and no Apache Includes tab, because nothing reads the Apache configuration then. They come back when you revert to the Apache drop-in or switch to Apache. See The tabs.

LiteSpeed Profile ​

At the top of the page, the LiteSpeed Profile selector chooses which saved configuration profile is applied. The Default profile is used unless you add others.

Settings tabs ​

The settings are organized into six tabs, matching MyApache Settings:

  1. Server Configuration - basic identity and process settings for the server.
  2. Security & Performance - security hardening, response handling, and HTTP security headers.
  3. Timeouts & Performance - connection timeout and keep-alive behavior.
  4. Request Limits - limits on the size and structure of incoming client requests.
  5. Logging Configuration - locations, formats, and verbosity of the server log files.
  6. Modules Configuration - enable or disable loadable modules; some reveal additional settings when enabled.

For the full per-setting reference of every tab, see MyApache Settings - the controls and descriptions are identical because both pages edit the one shared configuration.

Login Shortcut URLs ​

The Login Shortcut URLs section sits in the Server Configuration tab, the same section and the same list as on MyApache Settings. It publishes short paths such as /cpanel, /panel, and /webmail on every hosted domain, redirecting to the panel or webmail login.

Since 1.6.0 the shortcuts are served identically on Apache, LiteSpeed Enterprise, and OpenLiteSpeed, and they survive both a settings save and a web server switch. Editing them here or on the MyApache page changes the same setting. The per-field reference, the reserved paths, and the defaults are documented once, on MyApache Settings.

When the server refuses a change ​

Since panel 1.9.3 the configuration, the Login Shortcut URLs, and the Remote IP Handling setting this tab shares with MyApache Settings are saved only once the server runs them. When the server refuses the change, the notification says "Nothing was saved, because the change was not applied to LiteSpeed.", followed by the cause and a correlation ID to give support. All three keep the values the server runs, so correct the cause and apply again. If the server may already run part of the new values while the panel keeps the old ones, the message says so.

The same rule covers Connect LiteSpeed and Re-configure of the LiteSpeed row on Health > Manage services.
