====== Web Cache Web Server Configuration - Apache Config (No Control Panel) ======
===== Cache Storage Settings =====
==== Set Server level cache root ====
Set a server level cache root by adding the following lines to your server level Apache config file:
  <IfModule Litespeed>
  CacheRoot /home/lscache/
  </IfModule>
  


==== Set virtual host level cache root ==== 
The vhost level cache root is normally a per user cache root set to a subdirectory under a user's home directory. 

If using a virtual host include file (as opposed to ''.htaccess'') a relative path can be used for "CacheRoot" such as

  <IfModule LiteSpeed>
    CacheRoot lscache
  </IfModule>

If it does not exist, the cache directory will be created automatically by LiteSpeed Web Server during startup as ''lscache'' under the user's home directory. 

**Notes:** If different vhosts share the same document root, these vhosts have to share the same vhost level cache root directory.

===== Cache Policy Settings ===== 

The default LiteSpeed Cache settings work well with most caching scenarios. If you're configuring a shared hosting environment, don't change any of the **Server Level** default cache policy settings. Leave them as ''Not Set''.

  Cache Policy:
  Enable Public Cache:Not Set
  Check Public Cache:Not Set
  Max Object Size:Not Set
  Cache Expire Time (seconds):Not Set
  Cache Stale Age (seconds)Not Set
  Cache Request with Query String:Not Set
  Cache Request with Cookie:Not Set
  Cache Response with Cookie:Not Set
  Ignore Request Cache-Control:Not Set
  Ignore Response Cache-Control:Not Set
  Enable Private Cache:Not Set
  Check Private Cache:Not Set
  Private Cache Expire Time (seconds):Not Set

Add the following Apache style configuration directive to ''.htaccess'' file of a specific WordPress installation to enable cache lookup.

  <IfModule LiteSpeed>
     CacheLookup public on
  </IfModule>


**Note:** 
  * **"Enable Public Cache"** should always be "Not Set" or "No" unless you want to enable cache globally, which is definitely not recommended.
  * **Check Public Cache** better set to "Not Set" but should never be "No" otherwise it will turn off the cache lookup and LScache won't work. 
===== Restart LSWS =====
Please perform a graceful restart of LiteSpeed Web Server after any configuration change to the server.
