OpenLiteSpeed fails to start due to missing `libcrypt.so.2` library on Ubuntu 22….04 **Description:** After installing CyberPanel on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system, OpenLiteSpeed fails to start. The following error appears when running `lswsctrl restart` or during CyberPanel installation: ``` [11.06.2025_19-37-59] ######################################################################### [11.06.2025_19-37-59] Running /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart failed. Running again, try number 2 [11.06.2025_19-37-59] ######################################################################### ./litespeed: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [ERROR] Failed to start litespeed! ``` **Steps to Reproduce:** 1. Install CyberPanel on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (clean installation). 2. Run `systemctl restart lsws` or `lswsctrl restart`. 3. Observe that the service fails to start with the above error. **Expected Behavior:** OpenLiteSpeed should start normally after CyberPanel installation. **Actual Behavior:** The binary fails to start because `libcrypt.so.2` cannot be found on the system. **Environment:** * OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS x64 * CyberPanel Version: latest (fresh clone) * LiteSpeed Version: OpenLiteSpeed 1.7.x * Python Version: 3.10 * glibc Version: 2.35 **Possible Cause:** The OpenLiteSpeed binary included with CyberPanel seems to be linked against `libcrypt.so.2`, which is not available by default on Ubuntu 22.04. It only provides `libcrypt.so.1` from `libxcrypt`. **Temporary Workaround:** Manually creating a symlink allows OpenLiteSpeed to start, but this is not a safe or permanent fix: ``` ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.2 ``` **Suggestion:** Include the correct `libxcrypt` dependency in the CyberPanel installation or rebuild OpenLiteSpeed with proper linkage for Ubuntu 22.04.
