cpanel install - questions

#1
Hi,

We're looking to implement Litespeed on a Cpanel VPS.

1. We looked over the wiki for cpanel but is there anything else we should know that's not compatible to the latest version of cpanel with all its additional features?

2. One thing that confused me in the wiki was this:
The default LSWS configuration comes with support for both PHP4 and PHP5, however, only pre-built PHP4 binary is available, if you want PHP5 support, you need to build PHP5 binary yourself. Just login to the web console then select

You need somehow build your own lsphp5 binary. check our wiki.
The web interface may not work well for some cPanel installation, as only "root" user can run "gcc", so, you may need to change "gcc" permission with

chmod 0755 /usr/bin/gcc

to enable the compiler.

I think part of my question was cut off. Does litespeed come pre-installed with the php lsapi or does it use the php thats preinsalled with cpanel? i.e. is phplsapi for php4 already ready to go?

LiteSpeed use its own PHP SAPI - LSAPI, it does not use php preinstalled with cPanel.
lsphp 4.4.8 binary shipped with the installation package, so php4 works, but if you need special PHP modules, you need to build it again.
