Peter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I installed ProcessWire on a LiteSpeed server recently. Until now I don´t se any issues. I know that only Apache is supported, but apparently PW runs smoothly on LiteSpeed as well. Anyone else tried this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I don't know enough about LiteSpeed to say what issues there might be, so my reply is more general purpose and applicable to other servers like nginx or IIS. If everything appears to be working properly with ProcessWire, then the only remaining concern would be security. ProcessWire's .htaccess file is used to keep prying eyes out of some directories and files. Try to access these things in your web browser: /site/templates/basic-page.php /site/assets/logs/errors.txt /wire/core/Page.php /site/modules/Helloworld.module /wire/modules/Process/ProcessPageEdit/ProcessPageEdit.module You should get either a 403 (Forbidden) or a 404 (Not Found) when you try to access any of these. This is kind of a random sampling of stuff, but should answer the question as to whether LiteSpeed is translating the blocked directories/files properly. If it is not, that would be a real security problem, so we'd need to figure out how to block LiteSpeed from allowing access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I get a 403 (forbidden) for all of them. Seems like LiteSpeed is taking care of the security issues: - Only LiteSpeed supports .htaccess with Apache compatibility. - Only LiteSpeed has a rewrite engine compatible with Apache mod_rewrite. - Only LiteSpeed has request filtering compatible with Apache mod_security - Only LiteSpeed can work flawlessly with control panels written for Apache Source: http://www.litespeedtech.com/hosting-control-panel-litespeed-web-server-=-the-best-choice-for-web-hosting.html -Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That's good to hear. From what you say, it sounds like LiteSpeed is a good web server to use with PW because it is so Apache compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
