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,

still use 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.

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

I suppose you're waiting for it before switching yourself?

Not at all. 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.

I believe it's still the case. The frontend runs on MS servers but the backend

convert over to Windows failed.

iirc, It deffinitly is still the case, MS bought out Hotmail which
always ran on a bunch of FreeBSD servers, at one point tried switching 
it over to IIS/Win2k, and it couldn't keep up, so went back to FreeBSD.

There is also good rumour about that MS have fully ported .NET to
FreeBSD
so that they can use the .NET framework for coding, and FreeBSD to
continue
running Hotmail.

Of course, this could all be just rumour... but it's interesting to
ponder. :-)

It's almost horrible to imagine what will be, if Microsoft
assmilated technologies like PHP. I still got in mind a cite of David
Stutz,
former a leading engineer of Microsoft. He wrote it in his open letter
to
Microsoft (see
http://www.synthesist.net/writing/onleavingms.html ):
Stop looking over your shoulder and invent something!

This tells everything one needs to know about Microsoft, I guess.
