Hi,
i use litespeed on other webservers and everything works well.

On this server, everything works with apache but when i START litespeed (even on port 2080), server start eat ram like chips.

In around 1-2 seconds litespeed procs take about 6GB RAM and server start swap.

I use version 4.0.18 on this server

On other servers i use 4.0.17

Maybe a bug version ?

Also i notice that no log are saved to /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log on this server while on all other servers everything is logged good.

I checked better and i notice that after a restart (graceful) old MAIN proc and subprocesses of litespeed will not be killed:

ps auxwwf |grep -i lite

Regarding kill old processes, you can adjust Graceful Restart Timeout parameter (Console->Configuration->Server->General->Server Process-Graceful Restart Timeout) to see any difference. The default is 300 seconds.

No way. It does not work if i set that value to 0 or to 1.

Litespeed still do not kill old procs.

So there are 2 problems with 4.0.18 and cPanel:

1) on admin console value "Server Process-Graceful Restart Timeout" is ignored and litespeed procs are not killed

2) Nothing is logged on access_log


I notice also that on ALL other litespeed web servers version still 4.0.17 and there is no advise or automatic update to 4.0.18 ( also no entry in update.log )

Maybe if i downgrade this server from 4.0.18 to 4.0.17 it will work ?

1. autoupdate for 4.0.18 is not yet turned on.
2. do you have anything logged in error.log or stderr.log?
3. you may downgrade to 4.0.17 and see if that makes difference. otherwise, pm me the server temporary access for further investigation.

Sorry for delay.

About 512-1024MB difference of memory but anyway no more problem about memory leak on litespeed restart.

On that server were hosted about 3000 cPanel accounts with remote MySQL.
