[Solved] LiteSpeed + cPanel , it's not being restarted after adding addon domains

[mrxUx]

Not sure if someone else has posted this, but I've been dealing with a situation that when a cPanel user adds an addon domain or subdomain, it gets added to /user/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf but somehow LiteSpeed is not being restarted/reloaded, so I have to manually do it. I've not found nothing interesting in the logs either...

I'm running LiteSpeed 4.1.13 and latest WHM/cPanel

when did you install 4.1.13 ?

please do a force re-install and see if becoming ok.

@NiteWave: it was installed a few weeks ago, tried reinstalling it and still the same :/

check WHM/cPanel => Service Configuration => Service Manager => httpd. make sure both Enabled and Monitor are checked. There maybe a minute or two delay on this. So just be patient.

@webizen, both are enabled, I wish it was a patience issue hehe, no matter 1 minute or 1 hour, LiteSpeed is not getting restarted.

what about "Auto Reload On Changes" (Admin Console => Configuration => Server => General => Using Apache Configuration File)? It should be set to either 'Yes' or 'Use Apache binary wrapper'.

Does it work when switch to Apache? If so, pm the server temporary access for further look if you like.

@webizen, switching to Apache will cause a bigger headache than having this issue as its a production server :/

pm the temporary ssh access to the server if you like us to look further.

When manually restart Apache from WHM Restart Services, a message shown up indicating Apache still in the middle of rebuild. The following flag still present as if EasyApache still running while no EA process exists. This prevented Apache(LSWS) from restarting. IOW, it is WHM issue. Once the file is removed, LSWS restart is working.

~> ls -l /usr/local/apache/AN_EASYAPACHE_BUILD_IS_CURRENTLY_RUNNING
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 23 05:18 /usr/local/apache/AN_EASYAPACHE_BUILD_IS_CURRENTLY_RUNNING

We have come up with this guide for future reference.
