Start openlitespeed 1.4 on system boot ?

[wanah]

Hello,

I'm new to CentOS 7 's systemd, I'm trying to produce a perfect systemd service file for openlitespeed 1.4.11.

As Openlitespeed doenst' add a service file on installation I'm trying to make my own.

So far I have created :

[Unit]
Description=openlitespeed web server

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start
ExecReload=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl reload
ExecRestart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart
ExecStop=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop
ExecStatus=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl status

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Am I missing anything ?

mariab's one has things like

After=syslog.target
After=network.target

Not sure what that means though.

When I run systemctl is-active lsws

it says it's inactive, how do I tell systemd that the service is active ? Do I do it with ExecStartPost ?

Thanks

Hi Wanah,

Please try this and let us know if it works

[Unit]
Description=The Open LiteSpeed HTTP Server
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/tmp/lshttpd/lshttpd.pid
KillMode=none
PrivateTmp=false
... (ExecXXXX=...)

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=ols

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks,

With type=forking it didn't work but it does seem to work with simple mode :

[Unit]
Description=Openlitespeed web server
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=simple
PIDFile=/tmp/lshttpd/lshttpd.pid
KillMode=none
PrivateTmp=false
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start
ExecReload=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl reload
ExecRestart=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart
ExecStop=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop
ExecStatus=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl status

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=ols

When I tried with Type=forking it gave errors like :

systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/lsws.service:8] Unknown lvalue 'ExecRestart' in section 'Service'
systemd[1]: [/usr/lib/systemd/system/lsws.service:10] Unknown lvalue 'ExecStatus' in section 'Service'

With Type=simple status now works

systemctl status lsws
lsws.service - Openlitespeed web server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lsws.service; enabled)

  Process: 4358 ExecStop=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 4437 ExecReload=/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl reload (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 4452 (litespeed)
   CGroup: /system.slice/lsws.service
           ├─4452 openlitespeed (lshttpd - main)
           ├─4459 openlitespeed (lscgid)
           ├─4472 openlitespeed (lshttpd - #01)
           ├─4473 openlitespeed (lshttpd - #02)
           ├─4474 lsphp5
           └─4475 lsphp

Does this look correct to you ? not sure what the difference between simple and forking is though…

Hi wanah,

As long as the server works, it is fine.

However, if you do run into any problems, don't hesitate to ask!

Best,
Kevin
