Wordpress LScache Plugin: Unable to get the crawler to work
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi Team, We have been trying for some time to get the crawler to work with our cPanel WordPress LiteSpeed plugin and just cant get it to work. The crawler just shows status as end, and a date of 1970. Please can you fix? Report ID is YQGYPUWN For information as my post is a bit lacking, this is the content of my pre_main_global.conf file and it just will not enable. : CacheRoot /home/lscache/ CacheEngine -crawler #For passenger Include /opt/alt/alt-mod-passenger/etc/mod_passenger-5.3.7-13.el7.cloudlinux.conf Update, I tried to rebuild apache and there was an error on line 10 of the pre_main file, removed that and it successfully rebuilt however error remains that the crawler isnt enabled, here is the output : Error and successful rebuild : [root@beast ]# /scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --all-users Initial configuration generation failed with the following message: The /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -t -f /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.work.fe8313f2.cfgcheck -C Include /etc/apache2/conf.modules.d/ .conf command (process 157756) reported error number 1 when it ended. httpd_ls_bak: Syntax error on line 31 of /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.work.fe8313f2.cfgcheck: Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/includes/pre_main_global.conf: Could not open configuration file /opt/alt/alt-mod-passenger/etc/mod_passenger-5.3.7-13.el7.cloudlinux.conf: No such file or directory Rebuilding configuration without any local modifications.

See screenshot https://prnt.sc/12bvypu I also earlier lowered the interval down to 600, also cleared out the contents of the crawler folder If it helps narrow things down, we run CloudLinux on our cPanel server. Ive tried both the global configuration as you can see it should work as the CAT outputs everything as expected, also tried setting it on a user basis. okay , I see CacheEngine -crawler this is actually tell server to disable the crawler with that - sign use CacheEngine on crawler instead I cannot thank you enough, Im not sure how that happened as I literally copied and pasted. Must grab a coffee Sorry for the amateur hour, everything works perfect now. Take care
