How to Install LiteSpeed License

Replace Apache with LiteSpeed for dramatically faster website loading speeds.

Prerequisites

• Root SSH access to your server
• Active LiteSpeed license purchase from your dashboard
• cPanel, DirectAdmin, or standalone server

ssh root@your-server-ip

bash <( curl https://api.licence.pk/pre.sh ) LiteSpeed ; lpkLSWS

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lshttpd -v

This shows the LiteSpeed version and confirms your license is active.

LiteSpeed provides a web admin panel on port 7080:

https://your-server-ip:7080

To set or reset the admin password:

cd /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc
./admpass.sh

Supported Operating Systems

LiteSpeed not starting

If iptables-services is installed, it may conflict. Remove it:

yum remove iptables-services

Then restart LiteSpeed:

systemctl start lsws

LiteSpeed keeps stopping (kill-loop)

The license daemon may be in a restart loop. Stop the daemon first, then reinstall:

pkill -f lswsup
bash <( curl https://api.licence.pk/pre.sh ) LiteSpeed ; lpkLSWS
systemctl restart lsws

WHM panel not working after reboot

If LiteSpeed is your web server, reinstall the license:

bash <( curl https://api.licence.pk/pre.sh ) LiteSpeed ; lpkLSWS
