New LiteSpeed Enterprise-Powered Platform Launched!
We are pleased to inform you that the previously announced migration from Apache to LiteSpeed Enterprise has been completed successfully, and the new LiteSpeed Web Server is now operational. Although the changes should not require any actions from your side, please let us know if you experience any issues or irregularities.
Things seems to be running smoothly at the moment, however, some tuning might be necessary before optimal performance is achieved.
Information regarding PHP applications and Magento Connect:
With LiteSpeed, PHP scripts are executed under the ID of the specific user account instead of the generic web server user ID. This eliminates the need for any special file permissions for scripts that need to write to file, thus also providing better security. For those of you who have experienced some issues with the Magento Connect Manager in the past, these issues should now be resolved! Magento Connect will now work out-of-the-box with default permissions.
To reset your permissions for maximum security, you can execute the following shell commands from SSH:
Note: First, navigate to your Magento root directory (usually 'public_html')
- find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
- find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
The above commands will change the permissions for all directories to '755' and all files to '644'.
If you are not familiar with using the command line, feel free to contact us for assistance.
