This is a simple race between the varnish daemons and systemd. systemd is not patient enough waiting for the daemon to open its pidfile, and gives up. Workaround: Add ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 0.5 to the varnish*.service files and it should work. I'll try to figure out how to deal with this most correctly. Ingvar Reproduced with newer versions of varnish (5.1.3) on epel7. Seems this is not a problem with newer versions of systemd. Fedora 25 and 26 does not have this problem. So this means that this is a problem with systemd, not with varnish. I'll leave it with the workaround, and add that to the next update of varnish for epel7. Ingvar Hi Ingvar, I have try it, and it will solve it. |
