FAQ

Why should I use the WordPress + LSCache option?

CyberPanel runs on OpenLiteSpeed. The LSCache plugin is designed to communicate directly with the server, allowing your WordPress site to handle more traffic and load much faster than on traditional Apache or Nginx servers.

Can I install WordPress in a subdirectory?

Yes. In the Path field during installation, enter the name of your folder (e.g., blog). If you want it on your main domain, leave the Path field completely blank.

How do I fix the "Installation Failed" error?

Most failures are caused by insufficient disk space or incorrect file permissions. Ensure your hosting package has enough storage and that your website’s home directory is empty before starting the installation.

Do I need to manually set up a database?

No. CyberPanel’s auto-installer handles the MySQL database creation and configuration automatically, saving you time and reducing the risk of connection errors.
