Start Open Lite Speed automatically

[Fabio]

Good morning everyone, and thank you for your interest in my problem.
This is my first time trying to install Open Lite Speed. I installed Open Lite Speed on a Hyper-V virtual machine with Rocky Linux freshly installed and updated.
To install Open Lite Speed, I strictly followed the documentation on the website at this link: https://docs.openlitespeed.org/installation/repo/ quindi:

sudo wget -O - https://repo.litespeed.sh | sudo bash

sudo dnf install openlitespeed -y

sudo dnf install lsphp84 lsphp84-common lsphp84-mysqlnd

Now I would like to start Open Lite Speed automatically as a service, but when I try to start it as described in my various searches, it doesn't work because it tells me that the lsws.service service does not exist

[root@server /]# systemctl start lsws.service
Failed to start lsws.service: Unit lsws.service not found.

However, I can start the Open Lite Speed server with this command:

 /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start

Now I don't understand how to start Open Lite Speed automatically every time I restart the server.
Thank you for your letter and any replies.wever, every time the virtual machine restarts, I have to re-execute this command, and I haven't found a way to start Open Lite Speed automatically every time the server restarts.

The real service name is lshttpd

So you can either use this

service lsws status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status lsws.service
● lshttpd.service - OpenLiteSpeed HTTP Server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lshttpd.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since xxxxxxxx
 Invocation: b6c14af988234477854fb135c214a5ea
    Process: 7638 ExecStart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

or

systemctl status lshttpd

Hello @Cold-Egg and thanks to answered me.
I read at the "Basic Command" documentation page of Open Lite Speed site,
that the commad was: systemctl start lsws

However it doesn't find me even lshttp service

[root@server ~]# systemctl status lshttpd
Unit lshttpd.service could not be found.

I just installed OLS on RoxyLinux 10 without any issues. Maybe you can back up lsws folder just in case, and then install the OLS again and see if there's any error in the middle. Or manually setup the service file

"/usr/lib/systemd/system/lshttpd.service"

Hello,

Thank you again for responding.

I did as you said. I deleted the Hyper-V virtual machine and reinstalled Rocky 10.1 and did the updates, nothing else.

Then I installed OLS as per the documentation:

wget -O - https://repo.litespeed.sh | sudo bash

yum install openlitespeed -y

I tried even to install manually:

wget https://openlitespeed.org/packages/openlitespeed-1.8.5.tgz
tar -zxf openlitespeed-*.tgz
cd openlitespeed
./install.sh

Nothing, in both methods the lshttp service is not created.

So I created it myself by entering what you wrote.

Now I can start the service and with systemctl enable lshhtp it starts automatically.
