LiteSpeed libssl.so.1.1 Error

Issue:
On Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, LiteSpeed fails to start with:

/usr/local/lsws/bin/.lshttpd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This happens because the binary was built against OpenSSL 1.1, but these Ubuntu versions only ship OpenSSL 3.

Quick Fix (100% Working)

#Add focal-security repo

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list

sudo apt update

#Install OpenSSL 1.1 compatibility package

sudo apt install -y -t focal-security libssl1.1

sudo rm -rf /tmp/lshttpd/

sudo systemctl restart lshttpd

sudo systemctl status lshttpd --no-pager -l

✅ LiteSpeed will now start successfully!
❌ Error removed: libssl.so.1.1 missing
