Was going to run a production on this but this feels really uncomfortable, if even an empty system with one listener is behaving like this. Maybe a misconfiguration? Why no indication of what the problem is? The listener is working fine.

What is your OS? Using VPS? Our server is very reliable, maybe something special for your installation.

Maybe you installed LSWS into your home directory, but the server run as another user, so the server failed to create the report. Just install it to /opt or /usr/local, it should be fine.

OS is linux. Installed in /usr/local/lsws...

Very obscure web server I must tell you. Right now, it just does not start with no indication in the log files or in console on what's wrong. The only process running from the web server is lscgid. The only log created after "/etc/init.d/lsws start" is:

# cat error.log

after that, silence. no ports open, no processes running. how to troubleshoot this?

Are you using the 32bit package on 64bit Linux?
Is that possible for our staff member to take a look at it?

 

[debilistic]

no, 32b on 32bit linux. what would your staff need, root access? then probably no...

 

[mistwang]

How about send the output of the following command to us?

cd lsws/bin
strace ./lshttpd -d

 

[debilistic]

let me know where to send it? last few lines:

Can you email us the core files under /tmp/lshttpd/bak_cores/ for analysis?


If you are using enterprise, please copy bin/lshttpd.dbg binary in the installation package over to where lshttpd was installed to. The core file created with that binary is useful.
