🧠LiteSpeed LSCache Management Guide

By /

Here’s a comprehensive guide on LiteSpeed LSCache Management via lscmctl for managing LSCache across cPanel/WHM or general LiteSpeed server environments:

LiteSpeed provides a powerful command-line tool called lscmctl (LSCache Manager Control) to detect, enable, disable, and manage LSCache support across various web applications (WordPress, Joomla, Magento, etc).

The tool is located at:

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl

🔍 Scan for Installations

1. Scan All Known Installations

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl scan
  • Performs a full scan to detect all CMS installations (new and existing).

2. Scan for New Installations Only

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl scan -n
  • Scans for only new CMS installations not previously detected.

3. Scan for New Installations and Enable LSCache

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl scan -n -e
  • Detects new installations and enables LSCache automatically for them.

✅ Enable or Disable LSCache

4. Enable LSCache for All Detected Installations

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl enable -m
  • Enables LSCache (where supported) for all previously discovered CMS installations.

5. Disable LSCache for All Installations

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/lscmctl disable -m
  • Disables LSCache for all CMS platforms detected.
