# How to Uninstall LiteSpeed with cPanel on Dedicated Server/VPS

This guide walks you through removing LiteSpeed Web Server from your cPanel server and switching back to Apache.

### Prerequisite

* **Root Access -** You need root access via SSH or WHM Terminal.
* **LiteSpeed Installed -** LiteSpeed Web Server is currently installed on your server.

### Step-by-Step Guide

1. Access your server as the `root` user via **SSH** or **Terminal in WHM**.

2. Switch your server back to Apache web server.

```
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/cp_switch_ws.sh apache
```

3. Make sure Apache is running properly. You can check this in WHM:

* Go to **WHM » Home » Server Status » Apache Status**
* Confirm that Apache is active and running

4. Uninstall the LiteSpeed WHM plugin.

```
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/lsws/lsws_whm_plugin_uninstall.sh
```

|| This removes the LiteSpeed plugin from WHM but does not delete the LiteSpeed files yet.

5. Remove all LiteSpeed Web Server files from your server.

```
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/uninstall.sh
```

|| This removes the entire LiteSpeed directory (`/usr/local/lsws`) from your server.

### Important Notes

* **Apache Required -** You must switch to Apache before uninstalling LiteSpeed.
* **Plugin vs. Files -** Step 4 removes the WHM plugin. Step 5 removes the actual LiteSpeed files.
* **Root Access Needed -** All commands must be run as the `root` user.
