    Hi, are there simple instructions anywhere to follow to set up the mmdb format? The OLS knowledge base has instructions for the old dat format -> https://openlitespeed.org/kb/geolocation-setup/ Any help welcome!

    pCache is NULL, pInfo is 0x57e58c8, pReq is 0x57e5248, pPath is (nil).

    Was there any idea why these "pcache is NULL..." messages have appeared from 1.7.19-1? They started to appear on one of my WordPress sites that uses LS Cache after updating to 1.7.19-1, and still appear after updating to 1.7.19-2. Should add in the error-log mix after 1.7.19 are various 'URI...

    Installed OLS through repository then updated through lsup.sh for debug

    Thanks. Will give it a try when apt update indicates a new version of OLS. In the meantime, OLS seems fine having installed initially through the package manager and then debugged/updated through lsup.sh I am guessing the "complications" cited in the KB...

    Installed OLS through repository then updated through lsup.sh for debug

    Hi forum Newbie questions about installing/upgrading/downgrading OLS for debug purposes. KB states not to mix up OLS installation and subsequent upgrade methods: https://openlitespeed.org/kb/how-to-upgrade-openlitespeed/ "In order to avoid complications, always upgrade or downgrade using the...

    Cannot increase upload filesize limit on WordPress installation

    I am a complete OLS amateur, but from what I can tell there are different versions of PHP floating around on OLS (php, lsphp etc): https://forum.openlitespeed.org/threads/lsphp74-bin-lsphp-vs-php-vs-php7-4-and-wp-cli.4746/ I had a similar WordPress problem and looking back at my notes the file...

    Letsencrypt certificate is renewed but LSWS doesn't restart

    Not sure this is of any help, but I have the SSL auto-renew/OLS auto-restart working like this: From Certbot: https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#renewing-certificates "You can also specify hooks by placing files in subdirectories of Certbot’s configuration directory." I created a bash...

    Making the switch from Apache to OpenLiteSpeed. What should I know? (ie how to block brute force attacks)

    I mean, I know for example that Apache directives are not supported, so how will I fight wp-login/xmlrpc attacks now? What do you guys use? A useful link: https://openlitespeed.org/kb/access-control/ RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^123\.123\.123\.123 RewriteRule ^test/.*$ - [F,L] This seems to...

    AWS OpenLiteSpeed SFTP Permissions

    no problem. my newbie experience of this and other forums is a lot of questions start with 'installed with Cyberpanel' or 'installed with this image' and I get the impression such 'easier' installs create more problems down the road. something i noted in the above OLS instructions was chown...

    AWS OpenLiteSpeed SFTP Permissions

    Non-expert reply: Problem presumably lies with the different user/group used to install OLS in the AWS image. Perhaps not want you want to hear, but I would start afresh on a standard instance and install OLS manually following this video: and these instructions...

    What is the correct way to restart OpenLiteSpeed from the command line?

    I'm running Debian 10.5 with OLS installed through the official video guide. LSWS service starts on boot and has been working fine. Just that my very amateur interpretation of the systemctl docs suggested LSWS is not started on boot by systemctl, but by something else. To be honest, I am way out...

    What is the correct way to restart OpenLiteSpeed from the command line?

    @gilles thanks for the reply. Some amateur sleuthing (could be all wrong): systemctl list-unit-files --type=service says lsws.service is 'generated'. The Debian manual explains 'generated' as "The unit file was generated dynamically via a generator tool. See systemd.generator(7). Generated...

    Amateur WordPress sysadmin

    I run a handful of hobby/personal WordPress sites, one of which became more than a side-project and outgrew its original shared hosting. Various sleuthing (mostly via WPJohnny.com) led me to OLS/LiteSpeed Cache and my own VPS. First tried OLS through CyberPanel. Initially everything worked...

    How to set auto-renewal of Let's Encrypt SSL?

    Would be very helpful if someone can clarify whether a Let's Encrypt renewal always requires an OLS restart for the renewal to become properly effective. Nothing is mentioned in the documentation (e.g. https://openlitespeed.org/kb/lets-encrypt-ssl-on-openlitespeed/?seq_no=2) The official...

    WordPress Permalinks htaccess set up

    Hi, Many thanks. I now understand what happens and everything seems to be working. From a clean WP install via WP-CLI, the .htaccess does not include any of the directives. Going into Settings > Permalinks, changing from Plain to another setting, then Save, then places those directives into...

    WordPress Permalinks htaccess set up

    Sorry, newbie question. I followed these instructions (https://www.litespeedshare.net/snippet/?9ee5b276a2e3f8ae#9M2wLSn9rJsZ8vo8df2ktm66hC5ZvQRxWtN9fyHSQGNx) and set up WordPress. Seems to be working fine. Just wondering about the htaccess file. All I have is this: RewriteEngine On...

    lsphp74/bin/lsphp vs /php vs /php7.4 and WP-CLI

    Hi Newbie OLS user. Have to say the video guide linked to from here: https://openlitespeed.org/#install was superb. Thank you to whoever produced it. Up and running with three sites. Now trying to understand the difference between lsphp, php and php7.4 in /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin -- and...
