OpenLiteSpeed WordPress Not Launching Installer

So, if I create an OpenLiteSpeed WordPress instance and associate an SSH key, I’d expect to login via Putty using my SSH key, enter the associated private key and immediately be prompted to enter my domain > Configure Let’s Encrypt > etc.

Instead, on a brand new instance with 0 configuration, I’m not asked to configure the WordPress instance whatsoever.

What am I missing here? Is there a way to manually kick off the initial installer?

LiteSpeed’s Images have all been updated and published on DigitalOcean’s Marketplace. The updates include the latest version and a patch for the Intel CPU MDS vulnerability issue. If you previously encountered a WordPress 404 issue, please launch and try again. Thank you.

Hi, we have received similar reports from last week, the issue is due to auto update hanging in the background and cause implement script failed to finish. We have a fixed version immediately right after the issue happened and submitted. Please wait until it get updated on the marketplace.

Hello! I just fixed this issue by forcing a reconfigure on dpkg. Thanks to @eleu, I killed the hang update processing

ps aux | grep [a]pt

kill -9 [pids]

apt-get update

dpkg --configure -a

exit (only if needed)

It fix the 404 issue with OpenLiteSpeed, but wordpress can’t connect to Database again
