There is a problem with the conf/php.ini permission when PHP is started in suEXEC mode. For security reason, conf directory is only readable by the user that lshttpd run as, usually "nobody" user. And it is not recommended to change permission mask of conf/ directory.

So, it can be fixed by moving php.ini to somewhere else and adding "-c <path_to_php.ini>" command parameter for the lsphp external app.

can you give me the full command on how to do it? i'm pretty lost at it right now

i tried lsphp -c /opt/phpconf (where i copied over php.ini from ./conf) and it just stalled

What you did is correct. Maybe something wrong with the php.ini, you need to check lsws/log/error.log and lsws/log/stderr.log see if any information regarding it.

You can remove the php.ini under /opt/phpconf, see if it works again, if yes, it is the php.ini.

I removed php.ini and it still stalled

on error and sterr doesnt show anything wrong with it, any other pointer?

Maybe it is extension mismatch or missing extension.
Please try

 cd lsws/fcgi-bin
./lsphp -c /opt/phpconf -i

You should get some error messages if something is wrong.

the full command should be "$SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin/lsphp -c /opt/phpconf"
