Installing OpenLiteSpeed in Ubuntu 22.04
The following guide describes how to install OpenLiteSpeed on Ubuntu 22.04.
This is done using a few simple steps.
First, we update packages and repositories.
we run the terminal and issue commands:
1 | apt-get update -y |
1 | apt-get upgrade -y |
We install the necessary packages:
1 | apt-get install build-essential libexpat1-dev libgeoip-dev libpcre3-dev libudns-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev rcs libpng-dev libpng-dev openssl autoconf g++ make openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libsasl2-dev libzip-dev libxml2-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libonig-dev |
We are downloading openlitespeed:
1 | wget https://openlitespeed.org/packages/openlitespeed-1.7.16.tgz |
The following tutorial describes how to install Python:
1 | tar -xvzf openlitespeed-1.7.16.tgz |
we go to the directory and run the installation script:
1 | cd openlitespeed |
1 | sh install.sh |
Below is a log from the correct installation:
