LUA Module of OpenLitespeed.

How can we enable/install LUA module?
It seems that aapanel is compiling openlitespeed without LUA.

Thank you.

Hello,
We are using the default installation script of openlitspeed, you can refer to the official website documentation for deployment
This is our installation script
/www/server/panel/install/openlititespeed.sh

aaP_ceo29

The file
/www/server/panel/install/openlititespeed.sh

This download a precompiled version of openlitespeed from https://node.aapanel.com/src/openlitespeed-1.8.3-x86_64-linux.tgz

the .tgz file already has a pre-compiled binary version of openlitespeed which comes only with two modules (mod_security.so and modpagespeed.so.)

So i cannot work with that because Aapanel downloads the pre-compiled openlitespeed and then just copies it into the server.

The openlitespeed official documentation also says this:
https://docs.openlitespeed.org/modules/lua/

If the mod_lua.so dynamic library is not in the OpenLiteSpeed modules directory, the Lua module must be built. I cannot build by modifying your script because your script download an built(compiled) package of litespeed.

You can use the official documentation to install OpenLiteSpeed

Managed to modify the script to install openlitespeed with LUA from source.

Edit openlitespeed.sh
Look for:

if [[ "$ols_version" =~ "1.8" ]];then
ols_version=1.8.3-${CPU_architecture}-linux
fi

Replace with:

if [[ "$ols_version" =~ "1.8" ]];then
ols_version=1.8.3
fi

Then find this function: init_OLS()

Replace the else part of the function with:

  else

     #wget --no-check-certificate -O openlitespeed-${ols_version}.tgz  https://openlitespeed.org/packages/openlitespeed-${ols_version}.tgz
     wget --no-check-certificate -O "v${ols_version}.tar.gz" "https://github.com/litespeedtech/openlitespeed/archive/refs/tags/v${ols_version}.tar.gz"

  fi
  if [ ! -f "v${ols_version}.tar.gz" ];then
    wget --no-check-certificate -O "v${ols_version}.tar.gz" "https://github.com/litespeedtech/openlitespeed/archive/refs/tags/v${ols_version}.tar.gz"
  fi

  tar -zxvf "v${ols_version}.tar.gz"
  cd "openlitespeed-${ols_version}"
  ./build.sh
  ./install.sh

Install
bash openlitespeed.sh install 1.8

Configure:
Then add lua module into the openlitespeed config /usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd_config.conf

module mod_lua {
ls_enabled 1
}

Basically I just changed the function to download the source build from openlitespeed github and then install. the source build (build.sh) script automatically compiles all the modules including LUA, no need to specify by using ./configure.
