Same problem on Debian
When starting it it says
started
then failed to kill
started
Check error log and its not running
On Centos, it works fine, just the problem mentioned above.
Heads up, OpenLiteSpeed also has a Google Group for discussion and questions/feedback at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/openlitespeed-development. I'm already there asking questions
Installing OpenLiteSpeed along side a Centmin Mod Nginx install, so can test and benchmark Nginx and OpenLiteSpeed
Waiting for it.
That is not what it says - you're trying to make a childish free speech argument.
Their TOS says you can't use their software to host porn. You know that when you buy it, and it's not like they can later come and change the terms.
Saying "I don't want to contribute to the spread of porn" is admirable.
Anyone noticing a big memory difference in an equal environment with this instead of nginx? I've never used litespeed so I'm curious if this is the start of a new preferred LEB setup.
Litespeed Enterprise web server and i believe OpenLiteSpeed as well has inbuilt small static file caching feature which runs automatically. Think of it as an inbuilt Varnish static file caching equivalent that works without any user intervention in Litespeed.
You can see the tweakable options in OpenLiteSpeed Admin
Total Small File Cache and Total MMAP Cache sizes
I did old Litespeed Enterprise benchmarks for static files comparing Apache vs Nginx vs Litespeed Enterprise at http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=4617
Litespeed inbuilt static file caching performance is on par with Varnish Cache from my experience
Found my old Litespeed Enterprise 2 cpu license benchmarks i did nearly 2yrs ago for Litespeed Cache for dynamic PHP file caching (not same as inbuilt Litespeed small file cache), apachebench run at 5,000 concurrency and 1-1.5 million requests http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?p=23197#post23197
Unfortunately, OpenLiteSpeed doesn't include Litespeed Cache
So somebody needs to adapt varnish to openlightspeed
Shouldn't be hard, I've been running Varnish Cache + Litespeed Enterprise for 2+yrs now without problems.
Has anyone run heavy PHP loads on Litespeed? Any validity to their performance claims in the real world?
And that is fine if they are a host, however, with the software I bought I must be allowed to do anything on any kind of stuff. It is not their duty to stop me, police has to look into what is legal and what is not.
It is like autocad saying you cannot use their software to design dildos. Or a mosque.
The personal convictions of programmers should have no interference in their work. If they dont like it, they can always join the chorus or become priests. Less work and worry and more money.
Funding campaigns and lobby groups to push porn underground and make more money for pimps and exploit better the women, that is their choice, there are tons of nutcases around, one more purse open for them wont be much of a difference.
Nonsense. This isn't the government (though I would like it if more governments did prohibit porn).
If you don't like the software, don't buy it. If you choose to use it, obey the license.
Well within their rights. I take it you don't like that, so you use something else. Welcome to the free market, for what it's worth.
Me too, would be really interesting. Persuming they dont butcher the performance or anything silly in this version then this will be pretty amazing for cPanel servers. Lets face it cPanel is pretty apache specific, Litespeed has full support for cPanel something that no cPanel plugin has been able to adequately do for nginx.
Thereare such things as abusive clauses in licenses. Anything that takes away the rights i got from purchase (and that is industry standard, I can do what I want with it, even resell it, says the court, except cracking, reverse-engineer or whatever would infringe on IP rights) is illegal. You cannot say negros or latinos are not allowed to use the software because there is a free market and there are plenty of other vendors to choose from. but that took decades to become obvious for everyone.
Anyway, that clause will not hold in court, except in the bible-belt perhaps, where ppl will rather keep the fuck in the family with close (and often underage) relatives than go out for porn. nevertheless, will be overthrown on appeal.
Yes real world performance is valid (for Litespeed Enterprise server at least not really tested OpenLitespeed thoroughly yet) provided LSAPI PHP is properly configured along with rest of the server. Alot of my own private large vBulletin forum clients use Litespeed and high concurrency PHP loads (up to 13,000 PHP requests/second) are about 50-100% faster than Nginx/PHP-FPM and up to 200-400% faster than Apache/PHP (mod_php).
Basically, if Apache/PHP combo's PHP load hits a limit, next step up is Nginx/PHP-FPM.
If PHP-FPM in Nginx/PHP-FPM combo hit's a limit, next step up is Litespeed and it's LSAPI PHP implementation or what folks usually do with Nginx/PHP-FPM is start to scale horizontally with more server (PHP-FPM nodes in a cluster).
But if you want to keep number of servers/node clusters down to minimum, you'd have better chance at handling heavy concurrent PHP loads better with Litespeed LSAPI PHP than Nginx/PHP-FPM.
But for most folks, they may not reach heavy concurrency PHP load levels anywhere near what it takes to differentiate between Litespeed LSAPI PHP vs Nginx's PHP-FPM.
That's where alot of pro-Nginx/PHP-FPM users usually don't see the value in paying for commercial Litespeed Enterprise server as their concurrent traffic levels (particularly for PHP) never get to the point where Nginx/PHP-FPM hit's a limit or they just end up scaling horizontally and just add more PHP-FPM nodes in a cluster to allow their PHP loads to keep up.
Of course this is my personal experience with Litespeed Enterprise server only. OpenLiteSpeed we shall see.
Aaaand there goes any shred of interest I had.
Doing some siege benchmarks (siege v3.0) with Centmin Mod Nginx 1.4.1 vs OpenLiteSpeed 1.0. If anyone else is doing the same would be interested to see what comparison results you folks get with this standard lipsum generated html static file i am using http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Fj0Rj8we
Thought having a commonly used html static file would make everyone's static html file results more comparable
Also number of workers in OpenLiteSpeed seems to not be set by default and for me defaults to 1 worker, so check process output to see how many openlitespeed workers are there to make sure it matches cpu thread count or try cpu thread count divide by 2 see which fairs better.
Their mod security implementation and their cpanel mod will remain closed source. Just waiting for the open source modules.
Thanks for the info, sounds intriguing if the open source version has the same performance.
For anyone having trouble installing on Debian ... (you must install curl & create nobody group)
root@noerman:~# apt-get install build-essential libpcre3-dev libexpat1-dev libssl-dev libgeoip-dev zlib1g-dev curl -y
root@noerman:~# addgroup nobody
root@noerman:~# wget http://open.litespeedtech.com/packages/openlitespeed.1.0.tgz; tar zxf openlitespeed.1.0.tgz
root@noerman:~# mv openlitespeed_1.0 openlitespeed
root@noerman:~# cd openlitespeed
root@noerman:~/openlitespeed# ./configure
root@noerman:~/openlitespeed# make && make install
root@noerman:~/openlitespeed# chown -R lsadm:lsadm /usr/local/lsws/phpbuild/php-5.3.24
root@noerman:~/openlitespeed# /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start
Hope it helps.
@Maounique, you are as usual clueless. The Litespeed license is perfectly legal. Porn vendors are not a protected class like race. There is a difference between purchased and licensed. Etc.
You really should stop arguing now because you are completely ignorant on how the law works.
@raindog there is a difference in buying and leasing.
Hihi, raindog308 is porn-o-phobic...
I was upset when I found out about the restrictive TOS, but might be good in the case of being a reseller, I have yet to really see any issues.
Reverse engineering lite speed should be legal if you never worked for them, or used it professionally, I am not sure, but I thought that is how the law reads. Not that it really matters to me, since I don't plan on doing it, but perhaps the open source litespeed may exist to defeat this purpose.
reverse engineer litespeed and what you see inside the core is a Nginx
Last time I checked all the people are equal in the eyes of the law and porn is not illegal, therefore discriminating on occupation is illegal.
I understand some people would like sex workers to be second class citizens and be subjected to abuse by the mafia, however, we are not there yet. You might manage to see that day if all goes well for you, but I hope not.
Getting tuff on drugs, the war on drugs, the war on muslims, the war on torrenters, child porn, etc, dont seem to work for now, lets add the war on sex, who cares anymore, it will all be a big disaster anyway, but we will manage to make a lot of money and grab absolute power till then.
Nginx > Litespeed. Why can't people see that?
Only started testing but looks good so far, stock out of box Centmin Mod Nginx v1.4.1 vs stock of out box OpenLiteSpeed 1.0 for static files. Of course concurrency levels are low so not enough to differentiate between the 2. Only changes made is set Nginx worker processes to 4 and same for OpenLiteSpeed.
Seems OpenLiteSpeed wins on Longest Transaction time being faster.
Note default Centmin Mod Nginx also has open_file_cache enabled as well.

Because it isn't true in all cases, especially at high concurrency levels particularly for PHP related load. Some folks might not see that because:
