Bug Description

I'm running frpc with systemctl on CentOS 8.5, I copied frpc.service and frpc@.service to the path of /usr/lib/systemd/system/, and frpc.ini to the path of /etc/frp/frpc.ini, then I run command systemctl start frpc, but it seems failed to start, systemctl status frpc shows:

● frpc.service - Frp Client Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/frpc.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2022-04-29 20:38:13 CST; 1s ago
  Process: 17329 ExecStart=/usr/bin/frpc -c /etc/frp/frpc.ini (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 17329 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

But frpc can be start successfully with command /usr/bin/frpc -c /etc/frp/frpc.ini.

I‘m sorry about that I have no idea with how to find any other log, so how can I solve it? Thanks adcanced.

You'd better write your own service file. We will remove these files in future release.

have you the correct user in frp.service? normally the script works. you only need the frpc.service file.

Hi! This is my service file, and you can replace ExecStart with your own:

[Unit]
Description=Frp Client
After=network.target network-online.target
Requires=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/approot/bin/frpc -c /approot/etc/frpc.d/frpc.ini
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thank for your prompt reply. It turns out that the ExectStart was wrong in my config file. It runs well now.

it works after setting the authentication config according the frps.ini

without setting it，the frpc.service failed.
