Re: [PHP] LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1
Mind explaining this? Not at all, :-), this is not the first time, people questions why we still use Apache. $ telnet litespeedtech.com 80 HEAD / HTTP/1.1 Host: litespeedtech.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2003 16:36:18 GMT Server: Apache - For economy reason, right now our web site is hosted at http://www.p4host.com, with a shared hosting plan. We plan to get a dedicated server and start using our web server pretty soon, December the latest. We also plan to offer FREE web hosting as we will get plenty bandwidth left after switching to dedicated server. Anyone interested? Just let us know.

Re: [PHP] LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1
Ryan, Thank you for your interest. Our recommendation is, to setup your server environment with Apache first, make sure every thing works, then run LiteSpeed in parallel on different port, sharing the document root, then stop Apache and switch LiteSpeed to port 80. If anything goes wrong, switch back to Apache. The migration could be easier after we finish the Apache conversion tool. :-) For JSP and Servlets, a external Servlet engine is required, Tomcat or Jetty is fine. The biggest advantage of running LiteSpeed in front of a servlet engine is, the servlet engine is protected from being abused, the quality of service can be much better. If you need help with anything, just let us know. Best regards, LiteSpeed Team Ryan A wrote: Hi, I am thinking of using LiteSpeed on a dedicated account that our company has reciently purchased (P4 2.0GHZ, Linux, 80gb space, 100gb bandwidth.etc), anybody out there already using it and facing any problems? One of the main reasons we want to use it is because of PHP/JSP and Servlets. Cheers, -Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It is pretty easy to convert from Apache to LiteSpeed manually, depends on what features being used, it could be as easy as changing the document root. What the conversion tool does is that it analyzes Apache's configuration file and set our XML configuration file accordingly, it takes care of details as much as it can. It is handy if you have a lot virtual servers and/or complicate rules for access control. We try to make server administration as easy as possible. There is an Apache migration guide in our documentation already. What we are waiting for are extra security features: chroot(almost done) and auto-ban. They are not available on Apache either we believe. Best regards, LiteSpeed Team -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If they aren't available with Apache either, why are you still using it? No doubt, Apache is a good web server, everyone use it. ;-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1
So it is basically like TUX, a kernel-based web server? No, it runs completely in user space and be able to match TUX's performance for static content. Best regards, LiteSpeed Team -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: A new FREE web server can do PHP faster than Apache'smod_php
Thank you, Mark, Apache 2.0 is a better choice to windows users we believe too. Do you really think web server's built-in authentication features are useful and important? I think they are very limited and lacking flexibility. We have to use PHP's for our web admin interface and skip the web server's built-in authentication. Thanks, LiteSpeed Mark wrote: On Windows, for the most part, it's stability. Apache 1.3 was not implemented in the native W32 API. Apache 2.0 is. Also mod_auth_ldap is new. There are some other very minor things, but these are the main ones.
