Hi all,

New to the forum & Litespeed.

I have very little knowledge with litespeed and servers so I'm hoping you lot can advise me, I managed to install and get it working so that's a good start.

I'd like to use the same PHP setup that we had with using Apache.

I've tried going to WHM panel > LiteSpeed Web Server Plugin for WHM > Build Matching PHP Binary.

------------------
Found Apache php binary at /usr/local/bin/php. Version is 5.2.8
Found LiteSpeed php binary at /opt/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5. Version is 4.4.9

PHP binary has different version!
------------------

------------------

==============================================
Start building PHP 5.2.8 with LSAPI
==============================================
Wed Mar 25 02:24:09 GMT 2009

Changing to build directory /home/cpeasyapache/ls.src
Detected php build directory for cPanel /home/cpeasyapache/src/php-5.2.8
Same source code will be copied over

Query lastest LSAPI version: 4.9
php-litespeed-4.9.tgz already downloaded, use the saved copy
Extracting LSAPI archive: tar -xzf php-litespeed-4.9.tgz
tar: gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
**ERROR** Could not extract LSAPI archive

-----


Please help :)


Thanks, Tom

Hi,

Thanks for reply, I'm not too sure if server has Gzip or not? it's an unmanaged VPS, I can ask the providers support and find out.

Maybe your VPS is out of memory when try to build it. So, you may need to stop Apache or other memory hungry processes before start building it.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've tried doing the rebuild php while Litespeed is switched on, and also have tried switching back to Apache but still gives the same message.

There's a few hundred MB memory spare while trying.. is this enough?

WTF? no gzip on your VPS?

to find your current path and gzip binary location try:
Code: 
echo $PATH

whereis gzip

locate gzip
then post result here

you may force re-install gzip RPM:
Code: 
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/gzip-1.3.5-10.el5.centos.i386.rpm

You should execute commands indivudually, however it seeems no gzip located in your box

I suggest fore install using RPM

It seems that you typed the link manually
there is typo there: el5.centos is correct, you typed e15.centos

Take a look to putty documents: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Contents.html or Using PuTTY

Pasting is done using the right button (or the middle mouse button, if you have a three-button mouse and have set it up; see section 4.10.3).

Woops, I'll give them links a read.

Before I do this, could it lead to any problems? just want to make sure as our website is live and wouldn't want myself to be the blame for any damage :)

Thanks!! Tom

Try installing from source
Code: 
cd /usr/src
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.9.tar
tar xf gzip-1.3.9.tar
cd gzip-1.3.9
./configure
make
make install

Hi thanks i managed to install gzip this way and was able to build matching php Binary.

Only thing is, after the build matching php binary was complete, it said that i should copy over the new php Binary or something, which i don't think went to plan. Now i'm not sure what these commands were as there's no way to go back to it...
