Question

OpenLiteSpeed WordPress Not Launching Installer

So, if I create an OpenLiteSpeed WordPress instance and associate an SSH key, I’d expect to login via Putty using my SSH key, enter the associated private key and immediately be prompted to enter my domain > Configure Let’s Encrypt > etc.

Instead, on a brand new instance with 0 configuration, I’m not asked to configure the WordPress instance whatsoever.

What am I missing here? Is there a way to manually kick off the initial installer?

Hi Arthur,

Correct. Even though you killed the hanging update process, the rest of the functions may not be able to continue to finish the settings. Per our discussion on the community, please use a fixed version instead.

Best, Eric

Hello! I just fixed this issue by forcing a reconfigure on dpkg. Thanks to @eleu, I killed the hang update processing

ps aux | grep [a]pt

kill -9 [pids]

apt-get update

dpkg --configure -a

exit (only if needed)

It fix the 404 issue with OpenLiteSpeed, but wordpress can’t connect to Database again

Hi, we have received similar reports from last week, the issue is due to auto update hanging in the background and cause implement script failed to finish. We have a fixed version immediately right after the issue happened and submitted. Please wait until it get updated on the marketplace.
