LiteSpeed compatibility issue with cPanel > cPanel blocking LiteSpeed

[mistwang]

That script won't kill lshttpd, so it is something else.

I create a simple proof of concept shell script, acting as Apache to LSWS wrapper, which replaces Apache executable. If some one help us test and prove that it works, we will add code to automate everything.

It will be the ultimate solution for all hosting control panels.

Hi

Or , I can setup a VPS for testing purpose, and can install cPanel with 14 days trial license. You can check the script on it.

Thank you
Vivek

For the record, RELEASE is affected the same way.
I'm on RELEASE and it's acting the same way for the past two days.

Only build I don't know if it will help is STABLE.

Before I take that drastic step to rollback I'd love some confirmation will it provide a temporary workaround...

FYI -- We too are experiencing this issue.

Has there been any progress in figuring out what with the latest versions of cPanel are causing this?

Yea. Mr.George (mistwang) is with me right now and testing a script on my server.

I hope he will find a fix soon.

I think I will install this script with a 1 minute check:

It's a good idea even when this problem is fixed.

But what happens if litespeed is taken down manually on purpose
(ie. upgrades) will the script force it back up anyway when it shouldn't be?

That is not a good one.
Just downgrade your cPanel to STABLE build. and also disable upcp via WHM

Here is the cure for this problem. Now, you need to manually apply it, we are working on an automated solution.

Use the following shell script to replace Apache httpd executable, backup Apache httpd executable to httpd_ls_bak

#!/bin/sh

ARGS="$@"
ARG1="$1"

LSWS_HOME=/opt/lsws

APACHE=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd_ls_bak


LSWS=$LSWS_HOME/bin/lswsctrl
PARAM_LOG=$LSWS_HOME/logs/ap_cmd_param.log

echo "$@" >> $PARAM_LOG

ulimit -v unlimited

if [ "x$ARG1" = 'x-DSSL' ]; then
   shift
   ARG1=$1
fi

if [ "x$ARG1" = 'x' ]; then
    $LSWS start
    
elif [ "x$ARG1" = 'x-k' ]; then
    ARG2=$2
    case $ARG2 in
    start|startssl|sslstart|start-SSL)
    $LSWS start
    ;;
    stop|graceful-stop)
    $LSWS stop
    ;;
    restart|graceful)
    $LSWS restart
    ;;
    *)
    $APACHE $ARGS
    esac
else
    $APACHE $ARGS
fi

ERROR=$?
exit $ERROR

You need to make sure LSWS_HOME and APACHE matches your installation, roughly the follow steps are required

cd /usr/local/apache/bin
mv httpd httpd_ls_bak
vi httpd
<copy/edit the script>
chmod 0755 httpd

ATTENTION: You need to manually download and update to the latest 3.3.7 release package


No longer need to enable "Auto Reload On Changes" to apply Apache configuration changes anymore. The control panel will restart LSWS through the wrapper script after finishing updating Apache configuration files.

I knew that WHM may overwrite the script when you rebuild Apache, you need to be careful about this. We are working on a solution to automatically install the script and monitor it, if control panel change it, it will be changed back immediately. It is going to be in 3.3.8 release, maybe this weekend.

Thanks for Vivek's help with testing the solution.
