Conflicts with CRIU on lsapi install/update

If you're experiencing conflicts between mod_lsapi and CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace) during installation or update, it's likely because both modules may be trying to modify the way Apache handles processes, which can lead to conflicts. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to address this:

  1. Check for Dependencies:

    Verify that both mod_lsapi and CRIU are compatible with your server's environment. Make sure that all necessary dependencies are met.

  2. Disable CRIU (Temporary):

    If you need to install or update mod_lsapi, you may temporarily disable CRIU:

    bash

 

  • systemctl stop criu

    Note that this step is temporary and should be reversed after completing the mod_lsapi installation/update.

  • Install/Update mod_lsapi:

    Proceed with the installation or update of mod_lsapi.

  • Re-enable CRIU:

    After mod_lsapi has been successfully installed or updated, you can re-enable CRIU:

    bash
  • systemctl start criu
  • Restart Apache:

    Make sure to restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

    bash
  • systemctl restart apache2
  • Verify Installation:

    Check if mod_lsapi is now enabled and running:

    bash

 

  1. apachectl -M | grep lsapi

    It should display something like lsapi_module (shared).

  2. Monitor Server:

    Keep an eye on your server for any unusual behavior, especially if you have a complex setup with specific requirements.

  3. Check for Error Logs:

    Review the logs for both Apache and CRIU (/var/log/apache2/error.log and /var/log/criu.log) for any messages related to mod_lsapi or CRIU.

  4. Address Application-Specific Issues:

    If your websites or applications have specific configurations or requirements, make sure that mod_lsapi is compatible with them.

  5. Backup Configurations:

    Before making any significant changes, it's always a good practice to create backups of your server configurations.

  6. Consult Support (if applicable):

    If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to the support teams for mod_lsapi, CRIU, or your hosting provider for further assistance.

Please be cautious when making changes to your server configuration, and always have backups available. Additionally, consult with your hosting provider or system administrator if you're unsure about any of the steps.
