Install on mimimal debian system.

[Da-Idiot]

I cannot seem to get the lshttpd to stay running. Each time i give the "./lswsctrl start" command from within" /opt/lsws/bin/" it says it started but i do not see it when I run top.

The only process i see related to lsws is" lscgid" and each time i try to stop and restart with the lswsctrl script it just spawns another "lscgid" but lshttpd does not run.

I have tried deleting the /etc/lshttpd/ directory and all other trouble shooting steps in the documentation.

I am running the latest version of lsws.

Also I tried to apt-get install glibc-2.2 but it did not install and said

Selecting libc6 instead, Which is already installed.

The install procedure seemed to go ok. And i have tryed reinstalling twice now.

I am installing as root and running the commands from a remote box using ssh

Any help in getting this running will be of great help. Thanx

Another note.

I had it running on suse 9.2 but have just switched to debian because i could not do away with its package management apt-get as i run a command line box only. No gui

Any help please.

To low a pid ?

[mistwang]

I think it is a binary/library compatibility issue.
Try starting lsws as the normal user specified during the installation, just run lsws/bin/lshttpd directly.

Also, you need to change a configuration file manully, lsws/admin/conf/admin_config.xml , search for some thing like <enableCoreDump>, set it to 1.

If it creates a core file under /tmp/lshttpd/, please send the core file to bug@litespeedtech.com.

I will take a look tomorrow. :-)

[Da-Idiot]

Ok

I changed the coredump setting to 1 and saved the file.

Then i ran "lshttpd &" directly but still no go. Got the same errors as before with the new process ids.

I also checked the /tmp/lshttpd folder for a core dump file but all that is there is the pid file.

This really stinks because i love your server when i was running it on suse.

[mistwang]

Did you start it as root or as the normal user? have to be a normal user.
Which version of debian are you using?

[Da-Idiot]

I just tried to start it as a normal user, No Go

Says

Cannot determine the home of lite speed web server, exit!
Failed to start lshttpd

Can you please remind me the command to see what version of software I am running? I beleive I am running 3.0 of debian.

Hope I can get this running.
