LiteSpeed compatibility issue with cPanel > cPanel blocking LiteSpeed
- Thread starter vivek
- Start date
its not just litespeed, its all thrid party webservers. Any process running on port 80 even apache gets killed.
Here is how I was finally able to sleep. I done this apache wrapper, dont use apache for anything so it was fine. Then I done the monitor script on one minute cron, then I made sure apache was enabled in service manager in WHM.
Then I was able to finally not worry about it.
Cpanel isnt going to work with anyone, we just have to find a way around it.
It can be done though if you still have to use apache. You could change the init.d script, binary and all that.

Yup the one minute cron did the trick for me last night too (whew) but that's not a long term solution obviously (though I am going to leave it running forever at 5 minute intervals - litespeed essentially should never be down longer than that)
The wrapper is not working for me.
It's possible I missed a step but I doubt it.

Well I did follow the instructions exactly.
But after restoring a backed up account yesterday cpanel restarted the server and it killed lsws with no restart.
Inspecting the new httpd though, I realize I left the owner as root.
Do I need to chown httpd to another user?
The backed up httpd is also owned by root so I thought I should match.

Do you have the latest lsws package installed ? 3.3.7 ? If not,please upgrade manually.

Yes that was the first thing I did after reading all the instructions.
Here's what I did:
1. download and install newest 3.3.7 ent
2. checked that these two paths are correct in the script, which for virtually all cpanel/lsws installs should be:
LSWS_HOME=/opt/lsws
APACHE=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd_ls_bak
3. cd /usr/local/apache/bin
4. mv httpd httpd_ls_bak
5. nano httpd
6. pasted the new script in and saved
7. chmod 0755 httpd
8. went into cpanel WHM Main >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager and checked on "httpd Web Server"

OK, everyone, please download and try 3.3.8 release. Just change the version number in the download link.
Two configuration options to change, "Auto Reload on Change" to "Use Apache binary wrapper", set "Apache Binary Path" to where the Apache httpd is.
This should install the wrapper script automatically. If "Auto Reload on Change" set to "No" or "yes", the wrapper script will be removed during next restart.
You can also try building a new Apache binary, it should replace the Apache with the wrapper script automatically.
Also, 3.3.8 might be able to survive even without the wrapper script installed. cPanel may not able to kill it, but I am not 100% sure. Please give it a try as well.

I think you forgot to add the wrapper script with version 3.3.8 and released in hurry.
This is the same as before. No wrapper script is packed with this package.
I checked /usr/local/apache/bin too. The httpd executable file is the same.
Here is what I did.
//backing up lsphp and php.ini
cd /home/lsws/fcgi-bin
cp lsphp /lsphp
cd ..
cd php
cp php.ini /php.ini
//uninstalling current version
cd /home/lsws/admin/misc
./uninstall.sh
//Downloading new version and installing it.
cd /
wget http://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/3.0/lsws-3.3.8-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf lsws-3.3.8-ent-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
cd lsws-3.3.8
echo "MySERIAL NUMBER" > serial.no
./install.sh
//Restoring lsphp and php.ini
cd /home/lsws/php
rm -rf php.ini
mv /php.ini .
cd ..
cd fcgi-bin
rm -rf lsphp
mv /lsphp .
killall -9 httpd
service lsws restart
Changed option to use Apache wrapper from lsws admin panel.
then
service lsws stop
service lsws start
I checked /usr/local/apache/bin and found httpd is the same.
Checked by creating a test domain. And found lsws is killed and httpd is started.
Did I miss anything ??
