&lt;h1&gt;Administration&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LiteSpeed web server can be controlled in three ways: through the WebAdmin interface, from the command line, or by sending signals.&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Through the WebAdmin console:&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WebAdmin console is a centralized control panel to control and configure all LiteSpeed Web Server settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Log on to the WebAdmin console (by default http://[your site's address]:7080/). 
  Select &quot;Service Manager&quot;. Here you will find a control panel with links to perform common tasks: 
server restart, server configuration reload, version management, log viewing, real-time monitoring, 
virtual host reload, and virtual host enable/disable.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More details on how to control LiteSpeed Web Server through the WebAdmin console - &lt;a href=&quot;ServerStat_Help.html&quot;&gt;Service Manager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To change the login name and password for the WebAdmin interface, run the following command from the shell:&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;[your install dir]/admin/misc/admpass.sh&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Through the command line interface:&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Assuming the web server is installed at /usr/local/lsws.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Use the &lt;span class=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;lswsctrl&lt;/span&gt; control script in /usr/local/lsws/bin/ directory.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To start the web server:&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To stop the web server:&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To restart the web server:&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To reload the configuration:&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl reload&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;h3&gt;By sending signals:&lt;/h3&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You can stop server processes and reload configurations by sending signals to the server processes.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;First, you need to know the server's process ID, either from the PID file or by running a &amp;quot;ps&amp;quot; command.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To read the PID file:&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;cat /tmp/lshttpd/lshttpd.pid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;By running a &amp;quot;ps&amp;quot; command:&lt;br&gt;
		FreeBSD: &lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;ps -x | grep lshttpd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
		Others: &lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;ps -ef | grep lshttpd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
		&lt;br&gt;
		If multiple processes are listed, use the process with PPID equal to 1.
	&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To stop the web server:
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;kill XXXX&lt;/span&gt;
		   (XXXX is the PID)&lt;br&gt;
		If the server did not stop, use:
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;kill -9 XXXX&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To reload the configurations, use:
		&lt;span class=&quot;cmd&quot;&gt;kill -HUP XXXX&lt;/span&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
