Installation OpenLiteSpeed Web Server on Amazon Linux (RHEL)

Question

I'm just trying to install OLS on my Amazon Linux 2 instance, but i received errors at first and all last steps. Here is the explaination about:

When i added recommended by guide repository, i receive error:
```
 failure: repodata/repomd.xml from litespeed: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
```
http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/8/x86_64/repodata/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found

To fix it, i just replace $releaseserver to 8 (as i can see at http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/) at link http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/$releasever/$basearch/ and... it works! But after that, when i trying to install, i receive these dependency errors:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks to your reply.

You are trying to install packages for RHEL/CentOS on Amazon Linux 2. These packages are not compatible, as Amazon Linux 2 is not compatible with RHEL/CentOS and will not run software packaged for RHEL/CentOS except by sheer accident.

To resolve the problem, use CentOS 8 or RHEL 8, the correct distributions for the package you are trying to install. Do not use Amazon Linux.

Thanks! I'm confused, because at openlitespeed.com the guide has Amazon Linux installation mention ( https://openlitespeed.org/kb/install-ols-from-litespeed-repositories/#CentOS_5_6_7_8_Debian_7_8_9_10_Ubuntu_1204_1404_1604_1804_Amazon_Linux ) – anskibenko Jun 30 '20 at 22:39
@anskibenko You should report the error to the maintainer of that web page. That software is not packaged for Amazon Linux. – Michael Hampton Jun 30 '20 at 22:41
Thank you very much! I got it! Good luck! – anskibenko Jun 30 '20 at 22:45

Need 50 reputation... so instead of a comment, here's my "answer".
Michael is right, but the answer could be a little confusing. This is just a clarification. The OLS install from OLS repositories guide is not for "Amazon Linux" or "Amazon Linux 2". Your OS version is the problem. You CAN run that install process on AWS/EC2... just use a different Linux OS to start with - like Ubuntu or CentOS.
Amazon Linux (2) is a different Linux distro, even if based off of CentOS, it isn't CentOS.
