Extra PATH Environment VariablesGo to top
Description: Additional PATH values that will be appended to the current PATH environment variables for build scripts.
Syntax: path values separated by ":"
Installation Path PrefixGo to top
Description: Sets the value for the "--prefix" configure option. The default installation location is under LiteSpeed Web Server's install directory.
Syntax: path

Compiler FlagsGo to top
Description: Add additional compiler flags, like optimized compiler options.
Syntax: Supported flags are CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS. Use a space to separate different flags. Use single quotes (not double quotes) for flag values.
Example: CFLAGS='-O3 -msse2 -msse3 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -msse4 -mavx'
Configure ParametersGo to top

Apache-specific parameters and "--prefix" value will be automatically removed and "--with-litespeed" will be automatically appended when you click Next Step. (Prefix can be set in the field above.)

Syntax: Space-delimited series of options (with or without double quotes)
