LSWS and cPanel 11.25 disaster

[ffeingol]

At lest on our servers there seems to be a major issue between LSWS and the 11.25 version of cPanel. cPanel is restarting LSWS as often as every 15 minutes. This is turning into a major issue. When cPanel issues these restarts (as many as 3 times in a very short time span) LSWS sometimes fails to restart. From what we can see in the logs it looks like the LSWS admin has not released the port and then the new one dies.

In digging through /usr/local/cpanel/logs/stats_log it looks like the cPanel log process is parsing for something and not liking what it finds. We see things like:

[Thu Jan 14 20:43:04 2010] [notice] Apache/#.#.# (Unix) configured -- resuming normal operations[2010-01-14 20:43:15 -0600] safeapacherestart exited with value 1
[2010-01-14 20:43:16 -0600] [sepxferlog]

[2010-01-14 20:51:36 -0600] Processing bandwidth.
==> Loaded RRDs: version #.####
Apache restarted, but pid file does not match process list pids.

safeapacherestart is a binay, so we can't see what it's doing.

Any help / thoughts from the LSWS staff would be appreciated. Is anyone else running cPanel seeing similar things?

Version of LSWS are you running?
Are you running LSWS parallel with Apache?

[ffeingol]

We're running the latest 3.x. So far we've resisted upgrading to 4.x because it simply did not seem stable. Yes, we are running Apache to handle SSI.

[ffeingol]

Is no one else having this issue (frequent restarts and LSWS failing to start sometimes) or has everyone else upgraded to 4.x? I'm really interested in hearing from others running LSWS and cPanel.

We run 4.x and also do not run cPanel 11.25 in fear of all the frequent restarts like you're experiencing.

[ffeingol]

Yea, we put the servers on manual update and watched the forums etc. for issues. Nothing popped up, so we upgraded. Then we found out about the issues

Tony, are you experiencing the same issue with 11.25 ? I thought it was because running Apache parallel to LiteSpeed.
The cPanel box in our lab is 11.25, does not show anything like what Frank posted.

90% of our cPanel users are using 4.x releases. 4.0.7-4.0.9 had some issues, it had been addressed long time ago.

mistwang,

In your lab are you on Release? Have you updated to 11.25? How many sites etc. are on the server. How often are stats/bandwidth set to run (funny that I'm asking you all these questions).

I'll compare our various boxes with LSWS and see if they are all having similar issues. I believe they all are, however, as we get a LSWS restarted message about every 15 minutes.

I haven't upgraded to 11.25 either because of this.
