====== Web Cache Web Server Configuration - DirectAdmin Shared Hosting ======
This guide assumes that you have command-line access to the DirectAdmin Server. 

===== Cache Storage Settings =====
==== Set Server level cache root ====
Add the following lines to the ''/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf'' file. check  [[https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=351|link]] here.

  <IfModule Litespeed>
  CacheRoot /home/lscache/
  </IfModule>
  
**Note:** It is recommended that you set the server level cache root to ''/home/lscache/'' or a disk partition with enough space.

==== Set Virtual Host level cache root for all Virtual Hosts ==== 
Create a ''/usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/cust_httpd.CUSTOM.2.pre'' file with: [[https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1816|link]] here.

<code>
<IfModule Litespeed>
  CacheRoot lscache
</IfModule>
</code>

This is done to set each Virtual Hosts' cache directory to its home directory (''/home/<user>/lscache'').

Apply these changes to all Virtual Hosts by running the following command: 

<code>
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build rewrite_confs
</code>

===== 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'' as below:
  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 in your application level document root ''.htaccess'' file to enable cache lookup.

<code>
<IfModule LiteSpeed>
  CacheLookup public on
</IfModule>
</code>

===== Perform A Graceful Restart =====
After applying your cache storage settings, perform a graceful restart of LiteSpeed Web Server to have these changes take effect. LiteSpeed Web Server will automatically create cache root directories with proper permissions. Users don't need to manually create any cache root directories themselves.

<code>
service lsws restart
</code>
