Cant open pid when restarting LFD

HollyRidge · Post by **HollyRidge** » 29 Nov 2019, 20:56

I have reviewed some of the other posts, particularly the one listed below and tried that solution but it did not resolve it. I have been able to duplicate this issue on 2 Webmin servers and a DNS CPanel server. See the notes along with the information to explain and break it down.

https://forum.configserver.com/viewtopi ... =4&t=11485 <<-- Did not fix it

The error is...

Can't open PID file /run/lfd.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

Code: Select all

## CSF VERSION 13.08 ON CPANEL (THIS IS DNS ONLY SERVER, HAVE DUPLICATED IT ON 2X WEBMIN SERVERS TOO, MY FULL CPANEL IT WORKS FINE ON WHICH IS ALSO 13.08)...

[root@host ~]# csf --version
csf: v13.08 (cPanel)
[root@host ~]#


## PID EXISTS

[root@host ~]# ls -lah /run/lfd.pid
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 29 20:29 /run/lfd.pid
[root@host ~]#


## TRY TO RESTART AND GIVES THE PID ERROR WHEN STARTING

[root@host ~]# csf --lfd restart

[root@host ~]#


## BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, EVEN THOUGH IT GAVE THE ERROR, THE FILE IS THERE..

[root@host ~]# ls -lah /run/lfd.pid
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 29 20:36 /run/lfd.pid
[root@host ~]#


## OK, LETS STOP IT TO SEE IF THE FILE IS REMOVED...

[root@host ~]# csf --lfd stop
[root@host ~]#


## THE PID IS REMOVED AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW SO THE STOP COMMAND REMOVED IT

[root@host ~]# ls -lah /run/lfd.pid
ls: cannot access /run/lfd.pid: No such file or directory
[root@host ~]#


## LETS JUST RUN A START NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE IF GIVES THE PID ERROR AGAIN...

[root@host ~]# csf --lfd start

## BUT YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE PID FILE IS BACK...

[root@host ~]# ls -lah /run/lfd.pid
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 29 20:36 /run/lfd.pid
[root@host ~]#
