Copy lswsgi to fcgi-bin
cp lswsgi /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/if existing overwrite
cp: overwrite ‘/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lswsgi’? yStep 2 : Create site:
Login to your CyberPanel Control Panel.
Create website, you can get a new hosting account with Openlitespeed here https://www.hostingbyalitech.com
Fill out :
Site package : default (or any other if you have)
Site owner : yourusername
Domain name : souqagora.tk (here I am using this site this will be referred throughout the tutorial.
E-mail: your e-mail
Select php : 7.3 (this will not affect but normally I choose 7.3 or as required)
and check all additional features i.e. SSL, DKIM Support, open_basedir protection, Create Mail Domain
Step 3: Create Virtual Environment
Move to your site root dir:
cd /home/souqagora.tk/public_htmlCreate virtual environment:
python3 -m virtualenv /home/souqagora.tk/public_htmlOutput :
Using base prefix '/usr'
No LICENSE.txt / LICENSE found in source
New python executable in /home/souqagora.tk/public_html/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/souqagora.tk/public_html/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...
done.Activate virtual environment:
source /home/souqagora.tk/public_htmlcheck python directory
which pythonIt should reflect the directory of your virtual environment:
/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/bin/pythonStep 4: Install Django
pip install djangoOutput:
Collecting django

Installing collected packages: sqlparse, pytz, asgiref, django
Successfully installed asgiref-3.3.1 django-3.1.6 pytz-2021.1 sqlparse-0.4.1Step 5: Create Django Project
python3 -m django startproject souqNote: My project name is souq replace as required.
Step 6: Modify Django settings
cd souq
cd souq
nano settings.pyChange below
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []So that it should reflect as:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']and add below at the end of the file settings.py
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/souq/public/static'mentioning /public/static is required
cd..make sure you are in the below folder:
/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/souq/Use this command to make sure:
pwdcreate directory
mkdir -p public/staticCollect static files:
python manage.py collectstaticMake database migration
python manage.py migrateOutput:

python manage.py createsuperuserOutput:
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): root
Email address:
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.Note: Here I am creating with root user because I was having difficulties creating other users at the moment. After you create first user with root you may create other users while in Django admin.
Change folder owner:
chown -R nobody:nobody /home/souqagora.tk/public_html/souq/Step 7: Create context in OpenLiteSpeed
Login to your OpenLiteSpeed Control Panel, 7080 is the Openlitespeed Port for Control Panel:
https://hostingbyalitech.com:7080
Go to Virtual Hosts on side bar.
and open the virtual host configuration form above icon.
Click Context Tab.
Click ‘+’ sign and add new context, select App Server as shown below:
and click next.
Now fillout these details as shown:
URI * = /
Location * = /home/souqagora.tk/public_html/souq/
Binary Path = /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lswsgi
Application Type = WSGI
Startup File = souq/wsgi.py
Environment = PYTHONPATH=/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/lib/python3.6:/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/souq
LS_PYTHONBIN=/home/souqagora.tk/public_html/bin/python
Note: Make sure you have python version 3.6 otherwise check accordingly and modify above version in PYTHONPATH.
Step 8: Verify Django Installation
These links were of help but I had to struggle alot to reach to success which changes have been included in these guides:
