if No, all other settings under "Using Apache Configuration File" will be ignored.

It was set to No which I believe is the default setting. I have set it to Yes and restarted the server - APC still empties cache every couple of minutes and lsphp5 still runs under ec2-user.

Now I've just SSH'd to the old Debian box to compare (it's running PHP 5.3.8 on LSWS 4.1.9) and "Load Apache Configuration" there is set to No, and PHP suEXEC is not defined as are the rest of the settings in that group. Yet lsphp processes are run by the litespeed user and APC works.

The only difference I could see is that the Debian install is running lsphp processes whereas the new AWS one is running lsphp5 ones.
