Installing Magento with OpenLiteSpeed

1. RPM install

yum install curl-devel libmcrypt-devel

2. Build PHP (5.3.24, for example)

Admin Console => Actions => Compile PHP

'--with-mysqli' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-iconv' '--with-mysql' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-litespeed' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-curl' '--with-pdo' '--with-pdo-mysql'

Note: '--with-libdir=lib64' is for x86_64 systems.

3. Download and unpack Magento into /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html/magento (This is a subdirectory of the vhost "Example".)

cd /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html

wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.2/magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz

tar -zxvf 

4. Change ownership of all files in the Magento directory so that the web server has write permission during installation

chown -R nobody /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html/magento

5. Set up Magento on a vhost (Here we use the default virtual host "Example")

Admin Console => Configuration => Virtual Hosts => Example => General => Index Files 

Add "index.php"

6. Set up a MySQL database for Magento

The Magento site does not have instructions for this, but a good example can be found on the WordPress site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions

7. Add the following rewrite rules in your virtual host settings (WebAdmin Console => Virtual Hosts => Example => Rewrite => Rewrite Rules) to make Magento work

Note: These rewrite rules are taken directly from the official Magento site. Any questions about them would be best directed to Magento forums. These rules are also written for installation in the subdirectory "magento". If you are  installing in the docroot, remove "magento" from the rules containing it (such as "RewriteBase /magento ==> RewriteBase /", "RewriteRule .* /magento/index.php [L]

 => RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]")

============>8============

    RewriteBase /magento

## Uncomment out the next line to enable light API calls processing

#    RewriteRule ^/api/([a-z][0-9a-z_]+)/?$ api.php?type=$1 [QSA,L]

############################################

## Rewrite API2 calls to api.php (by now it is REST only)

    RewriteRule ^/api/rest api.php?type=rest [QSA,L]

############################################

## Workaround for HTTP authorization in the CGI environment

    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

############################################

## TRACE and TRACK HTTP methods disabled to prevent XSS attacks

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRAC[EK]

    RewriteRule .* - [L,R=405]

############################################

## Redirect for mobile user agents

    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mobiledirectoryhere/.*$

    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|ipad|iphone|ipod|iemobile|opera mobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC]

    #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mobiledirectoryhere/ [L,R=302]

############################################

## Always send 404 for missing files in these folders

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/magento/(media|skin|js)/

############################################

## Never rewrite for existing files, directories, and links

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

############################################

## Rewrite everything else to index.php

    RewriteRule .* /magento/index.php [L]

8. Graceful restart so the changes will take effect (Actions => Graceful Restart)

9. Point your browser to http://server_ip:8088/magento and follow the instructions in the set up wizard
