Litespeed - PDF list of tutorials
I know it's old fashioned, but sometimes it's nice not to have to visit a website or read an RSS feed when you want to find a specific article.
As such, please feel free to download a PDF of the Litespeed articles and tutorials.
Litespeed - AWstats setup and configuration
Efficient and clean analysis of website statistics is a powerful tool for any webmaster.
AWstats is pretty much the 'de-facto' in analysing website data and is integrated into the Litespeed Web Server and , as you would expect, setting up and securing AWstats is quick and easy with Litespeed.
Litespeed - Instantiate a virtual host
Instantiating a virtual host in Litespeed is very easy to do. That's all well and good (and this article explains how to go about doing that) but what does it mean?
What is the difference between a standard virtual host and one that has been instantiated?
Litespeed - .htpasswd protection
Password protecting a domain or a directory is an essential element in administering your domain.
As you would imagine, with Litespeed this is very simple and can be done without logging into your server and issuing commands via a terminal.
Litespeed - Serve a Rails domain
The Ruby on Rails host template has been configured and, now that we've installed Mephisto, we have a full Ruby on Rails Application for Litespeed to serve.
After the basic setup, adding new Ruby on Rails domains takes seconds.
Litespeed - phpMyAdmin
One of the reasons many people want a PHP install is to use phpMyAdmin. This article goes through the procedure of installing and serving the latest version.
Litespeed - Serve a PHP domain
Now the PHP host template has been configured we can start to serve PHP domains. We'll sort out some permission issues and then create a PHP virtual host (this takes around 10 seconds per domain).
Litespeed - Rails Vhost configuration
Let's customise the EasyRailsWithSuEXEC template to fit our virtual host directory layout. Once done, adding Ruby on Rails virtual hosts to our Litespeed Server takes no time.
Litespeed - PHP Vhost configuration
Now we know the structure of our virtual host directories, let's go ahead and customise the PHP SuEXEC template to our needs. Once done, adding multiple PHP based virtual hosts to our Litespeed Server takes seconds.
Litespeed - Virtual Host Layout
This article outlines the layout used for the virtual hosts throughout the Litespeed Server setup articles.
Understanding the layout makes for quicker and easier setup of the server and consistency will save us time.
Litespeed - configuration
Well, we've installed Litespeed with the latest PHP release, secured the admin area connection and upgraded to the latest version.
Now we can configure Litespeed to server our PHP sites and our Ruby on Rails Applications.
Litespeed - upgrading the server
Litespeedtech are very good at releasing updated versions of the free and commercial webserver.
This article will take you through the two methods of upgrading to the latest version: automatic and manual upgrades.
Litespeed - administration security
Now Litespeed is installed, we need to secure the administration area. We'll do this by adding a SSL connection to the administration port and configuring the server to accept connections to that port from our IP only (or from a group of IPs).
Litespeed - php install
Now the base Litespeed Server install has been completed (see Litespeed - installation) you have the option of installing the latest version of PHP.
This is an optional step in our Ubuntu/Litespeed setup so if you have no need for PHP then simply skip this article.
Litespeed - installation
If you've been following our Ubuntu setup tutorials, you now have an up-to-date install with an optimised mysql and Ruby on Rails stack with subversion support.
Now we're going to install the Litespeed Webserver so our lovely Rails apps are served up quickly and easily (no messing with mongrels or external load balancers).
Ubuntu setup - page 3
In page 2 We consolidated the base install and updated the base image, installed the security updates and configured some personal configuration files.
Now we'll install the meat of the server: mysql with Ruby on Rails and subversion support.
