Debian + Plesk 9.5.4 + LSWS Problem

[Emisand]

Hello,

I am trying to install LSWS 4.0.20 at my server.
I am running Debian Lenny 5.0 and Plesk 9.5.4

I have run the install.sh script, setted de admin cp user/pass, email and then selected the 3 Option for plesk.
Then I selected 0 for suExec.

After completing the install, I have tried to start lsws but I got this message:

[OK] Your trial license key will expire in 14 days!
[ERROR] Failed to start litespeed!

Then I have checked the error.log for lsws and I got this:

2011-03-25 20:32:24.019 [ERROR] [config:Server:basic] Invalid user name:apache!
2011-03-25 20:32:39.240 [ERROR] [config:Server:basic] Invalid user name:apache!

I think that Plesk setted the Apache user to www-data

What I have to do to fix this and then how to manage LSWS using Plesk?

Thank you.

try reinstall lsws and designate web server running user as www-data instead of apache.

Okay, I did that and now it's working.

But PHP is not working.
I use PHP with FreeTDS on linux, using apache it worked fine (installing the following packages:freetds and php5-sybase)

How can I use that PHP build in Litespeed?
That way I could use all the packages I've installed before.

To build a new lsphp5 with freetds support, use configure option like '–with-freetype-dir=/usr'.

Refer to document below for details on how to build PHP in LSWS:

There is no other way to do it without building php with the api?

 

[webizen]

That's correct. PHP has to be built with LSAPI to work with LSWS.

And what about FastCGI?
Can I run PHP as a FastCGI application?

 

[webizen]

You could run PHP as a FastCGI but it is not recommended in that it is inferior to LSAPI plus fastcgi support needs to be enabled in php compilation.
