Port_Number<\/pre>\n<p>Of course, you will need to replace <code>IP_Address<\/code> and <code>Port_Number<\/code> with your actual server IP address and SSH port number.<\/p>\n<p>Then, run the following command to make sure that all installed packages on the server are updated to the latest available version:<\/p>\n<pre>apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Download-and-Install-OpenLiteSpeed\"><\/span>Step 2: Download and Install OpenLiteSpeed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following command will add the necessary repository to your server for the OpenLiteSpeed server installation.<\/p>\n<pre>wget -O - http:\/\/rpms.litespeedtech.com\/debian\/enable_lst_debain_repo.sh | bash<\/pre>\n<p>To install the latest version of the OpenLiteSpeed server, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt install openlitespeed<\/pre>\n<p>Once, the installation is complete you can check the status of the OpenLiteSpeed service:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl status lshttpd<\/pre>\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n<pre>\u25cf lshttpd.service - OpenLiteSpeed HTTP Server\r\n     Loaded: loaded

command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl enable lshttpd\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>By default, OpenLiteSpeed listens on port <code>8088<\/code>. It is recommended that you change the default port to <code>80<\/code>. To do so, edit the OpenLiteSpeed default configuration file:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/usr\/local\/lsws\/conf\/httpd_config.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Find the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>listener Default{\r\n    address                  *:8088\r\n    secure                   0\r\n    map                      Example *\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>And, replace the port<code> 8088<\/code> to <code>80<\/code>:<\/p>\n<pre>listener Default{\r\n    address                  *:80\r\n    secure                   0\r\n    map                      Example *\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Save and close the file, then restart the OpenLiteSpeed service to apply the changes:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart lshttpd<\/pre>\n<p>Open your browser and type the server IP address:<\/p>\n<pre>http:\/\/your-ip-address<\/pre>\n<p>You should see the OpenLiteSpeed default page:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/install-vanilla-forums-with-openlitespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04.webp\" alt=\"install vanilla forums with openlitespeed on ubuntu 20.04\" width=\"1024\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/install-vanilla-forums-with-openlitespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/install-vanilla-forums-with-openlitespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04-300x126.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/install-vanilla-forums-with-openlitespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04-150x63.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/install-vanilla-forums-with-openlitespeed-on-ubuntu-20-04-768x322.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-and-Configure-MariaDB-Server\"><\/span>Step 3: Install and Configure MariaDB Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Run the following command to install the latest MariaDB server from the official Ubuntu repositories:<\/p>\n<pre>apt install mariadb-server<\/pre>\n<p>Once it is installed, start the MariaDB service and enable it to automatically start up after the server boots up:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mariadb\r\nsystemctl enable mariadb<\/pre>\n<p>After the installation is completed, you can improve the security of your MySQL server, by running the mysql_secure_installation script:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>We recommend answering every prompt with \u2018<strong>Y<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Create-MariaDB-Database-and-User\"><\/span>Step 4: Create MariaDB Database and User<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once this is done, create a new MariaDB database and user for the Vanilla Forums installation.<\/p>\n<p>First, log in to MariaDB with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>Once login, create a database, user, and grant privileges for the user to access the database:<\/p>\n<pre>MariaDB [(none)]&gt; CREATE DATABASE vanillaforum;\r\nMariaDB [(none)]&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vanillaforum.* TO 'vanillaforum'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';\r\nMariaDB [(none)]&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nMariaDB [(none)]&gt; EXIT;<\/pre>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to replace \u2018Password\u2019 with an actual strong password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Install-PHP-and-Modules\"><\/span>Step 5: Install PHP and Modules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By default, OpenLiteSpeed is configured to use PHP\u00a0 7.4.
