Configuring the Web Host Elite License to Use More Worker Processes

By default, the Web Host Elite license allows eight worker processes.

However, the Web Host Elite license allows you to customize LWSW to use a maximum of 128 worker processes.

Log in to https://SERVER_IP:7080, your WebAdmin console. Navigate to Configuration > Server > General.

Change Number of Processes to the number of worker processes you wish to use. The example server has 16 cores, so enter 16 and save. Restart LSWS for the changes to take effect.

Run the command ps -ef | grep litespeed | grep -v grep.

You will see now there are total 17 litespeed processes: 1 main process and 16 worker processes.

[root@test lsws]# ps -ef | grep litespeed | grep -v grep

nobody    2216  2188  0 13:52 ?        00:00:00 litespeed (lshttpd - #16)

Now when you check the listener page, you'll see that more processes have shown up.

Check them, save, and restart LSWS.
