Install the WHM plugin

Terminal
cd /usr/srcwget https://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/cpanel/lsws_whm_plugin_install.shsh lsws_whm_plugin_install.sh

Switch from Apache

The plugin imports the existing Apache configuration, so virtual hosts and .htaccess rules continue to work. The switch is reversible from the same screen if you need to roll back.

A drop-in Apache replacement that reads existing configuration files while delivering higher concurrency and built-in caching.
