Litespeed Ubuntu

[zoom]

Do I need to do something special to get litespeed running on Ubuntu Server? When I attempt to start using "sudo ./lswsctrl start" I get the following error.

./lswsctrl: 70: ./lswsctrl: ./litespeed: not found
[ERROR] Failed to start litespeed!

Everything compiled fine and I'm not using a panel. Just a basic install of Ubuntu server and lsws. Thanks!

assuming your working directory is /usr/local/lsws/bin, pls do

ls -la .

Yes, working directory /usr/local/lsws/bin

how about 'sudo /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start' ?

Same deal - below is the output.


sudo /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl: 70: /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl: ./litespeed: not found
[ERROR] Failed to start litespeed!

litespeed: no process found
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl: 70: /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl: ./litespeed: not found
[ERROR] Failed to start litespeed!

pls manually run 'sudo /usr/local/lsws/bin/litespeed'

executing "sudo /usr/local/lsws/bin/litespeed" doesn't reply with anything. I checked to see if it might have started a process, but nothing. It's very strange. I've never had any issues with litespeed installs under RHEL or CENTOS.

Run ./lshttpd -V and also check error log.

I know this topic is pretty old, but still it's a common issue.

For everyone who runs into this issue, try installing the 32bit compatiblity layer if you are running Ubuntu 64bit.

For example:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

The free version of litespeed doesn't provide 64 bit executables and therefor your server needs the above libs to run the litespeed executable.
