Need to install OpenliteSpeed Server on Fedora 31

Question

I am trying to install OpenliteSpeed server on Fedora 31. There are no binaries available so I thought of compiling the source code. Am following instructions from this page: https://openlitespeed.org/kb/installation-from-source-code/

but I am getting errors at the make & make install step.

This is the error I get:

$ make && make install
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/navjot/openlitespeed-1.6.4/src'
Makefile:760: .deps/xxhash.Po: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '.deps/xxhash.Po'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/navjot/openlitespeed-1.6.4/src'
make: *** [Makefile:409: all-recursive] Error 1

I was suggested that I should use the./build.sh file first. Tried that and I got the following error:

No match for argument: epel-release
Error: Unable to find a match: epel-release
This script only works on 6/7/8 for centos family._Static_assert

Does anyone know how to proceed? I can't figure out any way.

Answer 1

Please follow this method to install from compiled binary. Download the OpenLiteSpeed binary from the Download page or use the wget command to download it from the console, here we use v1.6.4 as example:

wget https://openlitespeed.org/packages/openlitespeed-1.6.4.tgz

Installation

tar -zxvf openlitespeed-*.tgz
cd openlitespeed
./install.sh

Now you can start the web server, like so:

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start

Check the status:

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl status

Last, don't forget to install libnsl network service package when you are on CentOS 8 or Fedora system.

sudo dnf install libnsl -y
