<h1>Context</h1><section class="ls-spacer-small-bottom">In LiteSpeed Web Server terminology, a "context" is a virtual location, a common parent URL,
that identifies a group of resources. Contexts can be thought of as different directories
in your website's directory tree. For example, "/" is the root context mapped to the
document root of a website. "/cgi-bin/" is a context farther up on the tree, dedicated
to the CGI applications for this site. A context can be explicitly defined in
LiteSpeed's WebAdmin console for the following purposes:
<ul>
<li>To make a file system outside of the document root accessible.</li>
<li>To block access to certain resources.</li>
<li>To setup user-level authentication for certain resources.</li>
<li>To create mount points for external applications.</li>
<li>To redirect requests to another location.</li>
</ul></section>
