Cannot open file log/abyssws.pid: No such file or directory

[rjkfsm]

Well, Something must be wrong with the search function on this forum. When I search for the term in the title, I get over 4,000 hits, but none contain the string "abyssws.pid"

Anyway, that's the error I'm getting when I try to start the server. Debian Linux Sarge.

rjkfsm,

This error means that Abyss Web Server could not find the log/ subdirectory to write in it the .pid file, or that this file is not writable by the server (because the user running abyssws has not the permission to write to it).
So check if the current Server Root directory (in abyss.conf, it is the value of the XML leaf root/server/root) contains a subdirectory called log . If not create it.
Otherwise, let us know how you are running Abyss Web Server and especially under which user account? (root/ normal user?)

It runs as root. Yes, the <abyss root>/log does exist and has permissions of 0777. I use an /etc/init.d/abyss startup script to launch it:

#!/bin/sh
# Starts and stops the Abyss Web Server

case "$1" in
'start')
/home/awserver/abyssws/abyssws -d
;;
'stop')
/home/awserver/abyssws/abyssws --stop
;;
'restart')
/home/awserver/abyssws/abyssws --restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart}"
;;
esac
exit 0

rjkfsm,

Can you please send to support@aprelium.com your abyss.conf file (do not forget to add a reference to this message on the forum)?
