Oct 29 12:05:08 vps40 lfd[3527]: *Error* attempt to start lfd when it is already running, at line 161
csf -r will say lfd has started, /etc/init.d/lfd restart will also say 'ok'. But /etc/init.d/lfd status will say 'stopped'.

It is a VPS (KVM) with 2Gb memory, cat /etc/debian_version 7.11

On all my other vps's (which are cat /etc/debian_version 8.6 restarting and starting of LFD is no problem. It happens just on the oldest machine.

found the solution!

The pid off the running lfd process was an old one, it looks like after a csf/lfd upgrade the processes were not restarted.
After'' killing' the running lfd process and restarting the lfd daemon through /etc/init.d/lfd restart all is working again!
