Apache Manager

CyberPanel includes a feature called Apache Manager. It allows you to run applications that cannot run on OpenLiteSpeed by utilizing Apache alongside OpenLiteSpeed.

Yes you have read it right: You can run virtually any application using OpenLiteSpeed + Apache such as: PrestaShop, Magento, Laravel, advanced protection of Wordfence and more..

It works on:

  • Ubuntu 22.
  • Almalinux 8 and 9.

Even with Apache, you can still fully enjoy LiteSpeed Caching on WordPress due to the way we’ve designed this feature to work seamlessly.

How to create a website that uses both OpenLiteSpeed and Apache?
