After upgrading OLS to 1.5.9 on ubuntu 18.04 LTS, we can no longer start/restart the service:

lshttpd.service: Refusing to accept PID outside of service control group, acquired through unsafe symlink chain

Searching for this error on Google, I found the following on Red Hat site:

Resolution
Please contact the third party application provider and ask them to update their service unit to be compatible with the latest versions of systemd.

Any workaround I can do for now?

Oops, sorry, I already "fixed" it. It seems OLS changed from init.d to systemd from 1.5.8 to 1.5.9.
So the /etc/init.d/lsws file was removed, but the service wasn't stopped. When I tried to restart LSWS using systemctl, it complained about the PIDFile. I tried to remove the PIDFile, but it didn't work too, so I saw there was a process still running, even if systemctl told me the service was down.
I killed the service with "kill -9 $(pgrep litespeed)" and tried to start again and it worked!

Code: 
root@ip-45-33-5-59:/usr/local/lsws# systemctl restart lsws
Job for lshttpd.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration.
See "systemctl status lshttpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
