OpenLiteSpeed comes with multiple PHP versions. You can install PHP 7.4, for example, by running:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install lsphp74 lsphp74-mysql<\/code><\/pre>\nOnce installed, you need to configure OpenLiteSpeed to use PHP.

Use the default settings, but ensure the document root points to the correct directory where your website files will be located.<\/p>\nStep 6: Secure Your Web Server with Let’s Encrypt<\/h2>\n
