Let my lay out my setup here.

I have a CPanel server for my clients, and I loathe it, but my clients love it. Because of this I run CPanel with Apache for my clients. In parallel on another IP address I run LSWS for my own personal sites.

Up until now they've co-existed fine for months. Apache used PHP-5.1.6, mine PHP-5.2.0. Then I wanted to implement the Suhosin extension/patch on my PHP-5.2.0 copy. I found I couldn't get the module to build with lsws' copy of PHP (in /opt/lsws/lsphp) headers and such. Unable to do anything else, I upgrade the system PHP to 5.2.0 and was able to build the Suhosin extension successfully. Lately though, after some time (anywhere from 8-48 hours) LSWS will stop serving PHP pages. I look in the external apps section, and find that lsphp is no longer running. Rebooting LSWS doesn't help. Then I reboot Apache and all is well. This started after I moved Apache to PHP-5.2.0.

Any ideas why Apache would be affecting LSWS' PHP, especially when lsphp is in fcgi-bin?
