[solved] Litespeed not starting?

[IPMAN]

Hi,

My LiteSpeed installation is failing to start.

Here is the information when it fails:

Stopped Apache.
LiteSpeed is not up within 30 secs, try again by removing /tmp/lshttpd/.
LiteSpeed is not up within 60 secs, please try again.

Is their a command to force LiteSpeed to start?

You can try start it from command line with

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start

if it failed, check error.log if there is no other error output on the screen.

Hello,

I have managed to get LiteSpeed up and running again:

==================
root@ [/]# /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start
[OK] License key #2 verification passed!
[OK] litespeed: pid=25995.
==================

However I am still having problems with LiteSpeed when I try to switch back to Apache then back to LiteSpeed, LiteSpeed doesnt want to restart.

Stopped Apache.
LiteSpeed is not up within 30 secs, try again by removing /tmp/lshttpd/.
LiteSpeed is not up within 60 secs, please try again.

Also Apache is still showing as the Server signature even though LiteSpeed is running.

I have checked the error log and this is what is in their:

Shall I check the output? ls -ld /tmp/lshttpd

[mistwang]

You need to make sure apache is stopped.

killall -9 httpd

then start LSWS, then check error log.

make sure /tmp partition has enough disk space.

[IPMAN]

I increased /tmp size, etc and everything is now working.

This can be marked as solved.

Thank you Miswang and the team
