Thank you for the update and suggestion. :-)

PHP 4.3.3 has problem when PATH_INFO is popluated. The PHP_SELF is set to PATH_INFO instead of SCRIPT_NAME. We submitted bug report but it is not resolved completely since 4.3.2. Also 4.3.2 and above should be configured with --disable-path-info-check. So we still recommend 4.3.1.

User should build PHP binary from source if they need extra features. It is hard to build one that will make everyone happy. :-) Your suggestion can be added in the documentation though.

I have no problem to use the acceleration modules with the prebuilt PHP.

I just took a look at lighttpd, and I believe it will show similiar performance as our product. But our server does not take advantage of any fancy API like sendfile() or SIGIO yet.

Sorry for not clearly stating the permission about the static file. It will be added in the trouble shooting section in the document. It is one of our secuirty feature to prevent accidentally serve content that is not intended to be served by web server.

We do need beta testers and appreciate any help. I will send your the beta release to your registered email, is that OK? Or you can send email to info@litespeedtech.com. Another beta user Paul from pizza.org help us a lot. :-)
