Hi

I have Lighttpd-1.4.11 on Solaris 9 box. While I am using sudo to start that application I am getting following error

/apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd -f /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd.conf

ld.so.1: lighttpd: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed


In the same case while doing sudo - su I am able to execute the command

/apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd -f /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd.conf

without any problem.

In the same ref I have done the below mentioned things

1.Copied .cshrc of root to my uesr
2.Checked the permission & ownership of /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 which root:bin r-xr-xr-x

As I want to execute the same as sudo only

Please suggest

Thanks
Rajan

That means /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd is either not properly built or not installed in the correct directory. It should reference /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8.

What says:
?

Hi Jlliagre

It give

libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libsendfile.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsendfile.so.1
libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/lib/libc_psr.so.1

Thanks

Is your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable set ?

Hi Jlliagre

Yes the path is set properly.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib

I got one more observation

1 Whlie login as root/[myuser] I am getting same output for

ldd /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd

libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libsendfile.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsendfile.so.1
libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/lib/libc_psr.so.1

2 While login as my user and using sudo I am getting the output

sudo ldd /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd

libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libsendfile.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsendfile.so.1
libssl.so.0.9.8 => (file not found)
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => (file not found)
libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/lib/libc_psr.so.1


Now I feel that you can easily figure out the issue.

Also note that while login as [myuser] while executing the command
it gives me

/apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd -f /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd.conf

2008-05-10 02:14:42: (network.c.300) can't bind to port: 206.16.219.164 80 Permission denied

That's why I am using sudo.


Please suggest

This is the problem. Lighttpd isn't properly compiled. You shouldn't have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

One way to workaround that would be to create a wrapper script, eg /apps/lighttpd-1.4.11/lighttpd.ksh:

If the only reason is that one, Solaris provides a simpler an much more secure solution than sudo for it.

With myuser being the non root user account used to launch the server, ie. your account in that case.

You need to logout/login for the change to be effective.

Hi Jlliagre

I am really thankful for your help.

I have copied the lib file to /usr/lib, and then my issue has been reoslved.

Thanks
Rajan

Copying a non OS library to /usr/lib is unsupported but is indeed a workaround. Too bad you didn't implement the superior RBAC solution ...
