Install fails on Ubuntu

#1
I just downloaded lsws and here are the errors I get,

---
Installing, please wait...

groupadd: group lsadm exists
useradd: user lsadm exists
usermod: unknown group apache
chgrp: invalid group: `apache'
Your current PHP engine /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp is renamed to lsphp.old
chown: invalid user: `apache:apache'
chown: invalid user: `apache:apache'
Congratulations! The LiteSpeed Web Server has been successfully installed.
Command line script - "/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl"
can be used to start or stop the server.

-----

When you replace Apache with LiteSpeed, remember to stop Apache completely.
On most Linux servers, you should do:

service httpd stop
chkconfig httpd off
or
service apache stop
chkconfig apache off

If "Port Offset" has been set to "0", you should do it now.

Press [ENTER] to continue


Would you like to start it right now [Y/n]? Y

Ubuntu's apache user is www-data, is that what's causing this problem ?

When you run the install.sh, when answer "using Litespeed web server with a hosting control panel?" you need to select "NONE". then use "www-data" as the user.

Please remove /usr/local/lsws directory, then try again.
