New Main PID does not exist or is a zombie

#1
Hello guys,

I can't restart LiteSpeed after an involontary exit from the SSH. When I try to restart the service I need to wait for some seconds just to read that a time out occurred.

If a try to see the status of the service this is what the system tells me:

Code:
lshttpd.service - OpenLiteSpeed HTTP Server
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/lshttpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: activating (start) since Sat 2022-01-08 20:08:31 UTC; 37s ago
    Process: 5885 ExecStart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
     CGroup: /system.slice/lshttpd.service
             └─5940 openlitespeed (lscgid)
Jan 08 20:08:31 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm systemd[1]: lshttpd.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 2.
Jan 08 20:08:31 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm systemd[1]: Stopped OpenLiteSpeed HTTP Server.
Jan 08 20:08:31 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm systemd[1]: Starting OpenLiteSpeed HTTP Server...
Jan 08 20:08:32 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm lswsctrl[5885]: [OK] litespeed: pid=5915.
Jan 08 20:08:36 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm lswsctrl[5885]: [OK] litespeed: pid=5938.
Jan 08 20:08:36 openlitespeed-wordpress-1-vm systemd[1]: lshttpd.service: New main PID 5938 does not exist or is a zombie.
I tried a lot of stuff found in this forum and in other supports website, but nothing seems to change. I need to reconfigure everything from the beginning?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried to kill all the litespeed processes and start the service again? If it's still not working, what's the output of
Code:
ps aux | grep http

Yeah I tried. But it didn't work.

I resolved by my self at the end. Checking the error log I notice that the SSL of the admin listener was wrong. I changed it and the issue was resolved.

Different servers may have different issues. Darkload seems to have it fixed by "Checking the error log I notice that the SSL of the admin listener was wrong. I changed it and the issue was resolved.". If you have issue, please raise a ticket to support@litespeedtech.com with this forum post link appended.

How can I change or regenerate new ssl for admin listener SSL? Cause my OLS Webserver won't run.
