replacing system php

I was considering installing the sapi php via the wiki, but instead of using /php5 using /usr/local so there is only one php for the system.
I have noticed one thing though when you do php -v with my old php it lists all features like
root@cp [/usr/src/php-5.2.3]# php -v
PHP 5.2.3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Jun 21 2007 02:51:18)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
with eAccelerator v0.9.5.1, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator

with Zend Extension Manager v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2007, by Zend Technologies
with Zend Optimizer v3.2.8, Copyright (c) 1998-2007, by Zend Technologies

When I do version with php5 i get this
root@cp [/usr/src/php-5.2.3]# /php5/bin/php -v
PHP 5.2.3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Jul 14 2007 03:11:04)

But in php info it all shows

Only problem is http://www.secureservertech.com/info.php
its loading the /opt/lsws/php/php.ini instead of the one in /usr/local/lib, Ill try to link it

Ok, all is well now. I had to link /opt/lsws/php/php.ini to /usr/local/lib/php.ini
but that is linked to the zend php.ini, wonder if that is too many links to follow?

You can specify a "-c <php.ini path>" parameter from the command line of lsphp external application.

well, the linking seems to work fine. I may do it when I get some free time, working fine now so I wont mess with it for a bit

Working great so far. I think if someone is gonna totally convert to litespeed this is the best way

UPDATE: Ok I see what you are talking about now , I changed it to /usr/local/lib. Works no probs, well no reason it shouldnt lol .But when you are runnng hosting box worry a lil ;)

btw, site looks great now
