Litespeed standard >=5.2.8 does not work on FreeBSD 10 or 11

[raphidae]

Tried upgrading an existing install of 5.2.6 i386 to 5.2.8 (lsws-5.2.8-std-i386-freebsd.tar.gz) and 5.3 (lsws-5.3-std-i386-freebsd.tar.gz).
The admin interface immediately stops working. In stderr.log is the following:

2018-09-16 00:05:44.570 [STDERR] /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.1: unsupported file layout
<repeated for every request>

After some looking around I found where this comes from:

# ldd /usr/local/lsws/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php5 
/usr/local/lsws/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php5:
        libcrypt.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libcrypt.so.5 (0x2850f000)
        libexpat.so.1 => not found (0)
        librt.so.1 => /usr/lib32/librt.so.1 (0x28533000)
        libm.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.5 (0x28539000)
        libc.so.7 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.7 (0x28562000)
        libthr.so.3 => /usr/lib32/libthr.so.3 (0x286dd000)

libexpat.so.1 (or any other version) is not a file that is present on FreeBSD 10 or 11, and it is also not installed by compat8x (or other compat ports). So needing this file seems a bug to me.

When downgrading to 5.2.6 the admin interface works again, and this is the ldd output of that version:

# ldd /usr/local/lsws/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php5
/usr/local/lsws/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php5:
        libcrypt.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libcrypt.so.5 (0x2844e000)
        librt.so.1 => /usr/lib32/librt.so.1 (0x2846e000)
        libm.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.5 (0x28475000)
        libc.so.7 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.7 (0x284a4000)
        libthr.so.3 => /usr/lib32/libthr.so.3 (0x285fe000)

No libexpat.so.1 needed. Either Litespeed should include the file or not link against it. I haven't found a way to build a 32-bit libexpat on amd64 (the port only builds & installs the 64-bit version).

Thanks!

I tried getting the i386 package for expat2 and extract the libexpat.so.1 from there into /usr/local/lib32/compat, but this does not work. That directory is in the 32-bit compatibility path list for ldconfig, and I re-ran ldconfig as well.
For some reason admin_php5 only wants the 64-bit library, which obviously doesn't work, even if a 32-bit version is available.

# file ./libexpat.so.1
libexpat.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, stripped
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./admin_php5    
/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.1: unsupported file layout

This is probably not related, but in 5.2.6 and the later version I also noticed some noise in stderr.log:

2018-09-16 18:29:41.371 [STDERR] kevent(), mismatch handler, fd: 5, error: 9, filter: -1 flags: 4000
and

Not sure where this comes from, probably the process that is binding the socket and some parameter error for fetch?

We don't provide support for standard version anymore. You 'd better switch to OLS or LSWS Enterprise version,

5.3 build 8 should have admin_php5 fixed, please give it a try.

5.3 build 8 should have admin_php5 fixed, please give it a try.

I'll try it tomorrow and will report back, thanks!
