I don't suppose any of you have a copy of the openlitespeed.1.0.0.tgz do you? They have updated to 1.0.1 but I didn't have a local copy of the 1.0.0 files for keeping.

Slavik updated XenForo Server Setup Guide Part 1 (CentOS, OpenLiteSpeed, Percona) (With Pictures!) with a new update entry:

Minor update

Changed links to use Litespeed 1.0.1

Read the rest of this update entry...

Is there any chance you can do one for debian as well, I'm just trying to get my head around changing.

Very nice guide @Slavik, thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Might want to add a "yum install wget" for any with minimal installs that do not include it.

 

[emc2]

any update or progress on part 2 @Slavik ?

 

[rdn]

Is this an optimize installation already?
Or just the basics?

This is a great article. I am just about to do a new install and this series is going to be a great help. Thanks!

Hi @Slavik,

Thanks for the write up. I am just wondering if this is safe to do on a server that already has a large xenforo site running on it? I do not have percona installed, but I am using mysql. Will following this guide break anything? I also have whm/cpanel installed.

Is this safe to do?

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately you can't use this to supercharge a cpanel server, you need to take additional steps with WHM to ensure things run correctly, and don't get reverted.
