lsphp from command line and cron

[Rudi]

Hi All,

Just testing out OpenLitespeed, so far very impressed, really easy to configure and get running.
I am having a couple of small issues, probably a lack of understanding how the system hands together.

I was able to get my php website (magento) to run perfectly, then i went to the command line to run an index php file manually and noticed that i can't run lsphp from command line.

I tried installed CLI (command line interface) and that didn't help.

This means I can't run any php scripts via cron.

Any tips or guidance?

thanks

p.s using Centos 7 on AWS

Hi @Rudi,

Sorry for the delayed response. A lot of OpenLiteSpeed materials can be found in our Enterprise wiki. Unless something in the Enterprise refers to using Apache configuration files (like when you're configuring something with a control panel), it's generally applicable to OpenLiteSpeed. (One day we'd like to have two completely separate wikis...)

I believe this should describe what you're trying to do, unless I've misunderstood: http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:php_lsapi_command

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael, thanks for your help, thats what i need to do, but i can't get it to work.

I think my path to php is:

/usr/local/lsws/lsphp56

so i try

/usr/local/lsws/lsphp56 -b [::]:3000

and get this error

-bash: /usr/local/lsws/lsphp56: Is a directory

dos anyone know the actual path to lsphp ?

Last time I ran a php script from CLI I think I used: /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php

Hi Fearless, thank you, I am getting closer!
it doesn't seem that the -b (Bind option) works ? this was the output if anyone can help.

Hmm, what did you need -b for? If you just wanted to run php scripts via cron I don't think that is necessary. I'm using that path to run a cron and it seems to work.

 

[Rudi]

Hi Fearless,
I was following this http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:php_lsapi_command
I understood that the -b made it so you didn't need to type the full path everytime?

 

[Fearless]

Ah I'm not sure then I guess you'll have to wait for the support team.

For shortening the path couldn't you just add to the path variable, or even easier is editing the ~/.bashrc file (if on CentOS) for your user and add an alias such as:
alias php='/usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php'

Then you could use php -v for example.

 

[Rudi]

oh that will do ! thats all i want

Howdy @Rudi,

I just wanted to let you know that the developers have looked at this. They think the issue may have been caused by using an IPv6 address with -b. Have you tried this with an IPv4 address. (I know you fixed it, but, well, I'd like to know.)

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,
Just tried, works using IPv4 as you suggested, but not with IPv6;

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for reporting. I've added it to our bug list. I'm not sure that this is the most high priority issue, but we will get to it.

Cheers,

Michael
