suphp ?

[NiteWave]

where does it compare LiteSpeed with phpSuExec vs Apache2.2 suPHP?

I managed to test lsphp5 with suExec enabled and disabled under a cPanel server in our lab.

~>ab -k -n 20000 -c 100 192.168.0.81/test.php
suExec enabled:
Requests per second:    2723.91 [#/sec] (mean)

suExec diabled:(run as nobody)
Requests per second:    2659.31 [#/sec] (mean)

so no difference in benchmark -- above test without opcode cache.

for other questions -- may need other staff's reply.

It is faster when phpsuexec is enabled? That does not sound right at all.

From my simple testing, it is. Technically, running as nobody or as other user should have no much difference. in our blog, already address it:"There is little performance impact for LiteSpeed to run in suEXEC mode; therefore it can achieve security benefit of suPHP without losing performance while CGI-based suPHP is the biggest loser in this test."

So you are saying custom php.ini files in an accounts folder now work? I have read in other threads this no longer works and users must convert their custom php.ini files into .htaccess

please refer:http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...ead.php?t=2915

I just tested it on our cPanel test machine --- it's working. I put a phpinfo.php in a user's home directory. it shows "Loaded Configuration File" is "/home/ausername/php/php.ini".

so if you've read posts before this one(04-25-2009), custom php.ini should not work. it's a feature since lsws 4.0.2. also in 4.0.2's change log:http://www.litespeedtech.com/litespe...lease-log.html

(For suEXEC only) Added support for PHPIniDir directive at virtual host level to allow customized php.ini.
(For suEXEC only) Added support for PHPRC environment variable to customize php.ini.
