no WHM, but replicating the apache/litespeed confguration ?

[eva2000]

Just setup a local virtualised CentOS 5.5 64bit server which has apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.3.5 compiled as per this thread http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=4592 then installed litespeed 4.0.18 enterprise and recompiled LSAPI 5.5 with PHP 5.3.4

But I want to replicate WHM/litespeed's usage of pulling apache virtualhost/doc roots etc for testing where i can switch between apache or litespeed. But how would I configure litespeed to do this ? Under admin -> server -> configuration -> general -> Using Apache Configuration File ?

Apache 2.2.3 settings

binary path = /usr/sbin/httpd
configuration path = /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
doc root = /var/www/html

Litespeed settings
Default virtual host example doc root = /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html/

Also is it possible to have some virtualhosts pulled from apache httpd.conf while some solely from litespeed admin virtual host created ?

In your case, you can just let LiteSpeed load Apache's configuration file, no need to override the httpd binary, when you need to switch between LiteSpeed and Apache, just stop one then start the other from command line.

When you copy httpd.conf from another cPanel machine, you may need to update the IP address of the vhost configuration to use your local IP.

Yes, you can configure vhosts in native Litespeed configuration, they will coexist with vhosts from httpd.conf, native vhost has higher priority if the same domain name is used. It is recommended to bind individual IP instead of the wildcard when you create a listener shared with httpd.conf.

Thanks George, so if i am not overriding htpd binary, what do i set for the option

Auto Reload On Changes ? Yes or No ?

i tried with it set No and used config path /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and no apache offset port specified

but after switching from litespeed to apache and back

service lsws stop
service httpd start
service httpd stop
service lsws start

i can con't get litespeed to stay up ?

something about license key

I did have problems with dhcp assigning NIC ips for this server when i tried adding a 2nd NIC to the virtual guest install, so for a few hours it was assigned different ips from what it initially was setup for.

Ah figured it out as per http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:license:all_about_licenses, had to release the license from store client area before re-registering it
