That's normal, the executable is /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5, ../php will be /usr/local/lsws/php, if php.ini exists under that directory, it will be used. if do not want that, just remove that configuration option, or change to absolute path.

I am using vhosts so I want www.rob.com to use for php
doc_root=/home/rob
/home/rob/php/php.ini

and
www.bill.com to use
doc_root=/home/bill
/home/bill/php/php.ini

as they may each have seperate requirements. My first read said that it shoudl be looking under the /home/xxx/php folder for php.ini?

Thanks

It only possible with vhost configured natively through vhost template. Not with Apache httpd.conf.

You have to add "-c $VH_ROOT/php/php.ini" to the command of PHP suEXEC external application.

Ok, now I am thinking that I will go back to apache

I am not using httpd.conf file or apache mode, strickly litespeed and vhosts configured though the gui. I don't have and external suphp scripts and am using the default handlers. do I need to setup an external php handler for each vhost?

the command for php5 now has:
$SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 -c $VH_ROOT/php

and when I restart and run phpinfo.
configuration File (php.ini) path = ../php
Loaded Configuration file = (none)
Scan this dir for add... = (none)
Additonal .ini files parsed = (none)


if I hard-code the path for the ini in the external app config, then it appears to work. but that would be dumb to require a different php app for each vhost? I must be missing something right?

You can customize vhost template based on the PHP suexec template.
If you want to use per-user php.ini, you need to create a php app for each user.

Or, you can let user override some php configuration via .htaccess.

So, for a site with many vhosts they each would require a new handler, why not just expand the -c $VH_ROOT/php/php.ini? is there something with the architecture that prevents this? Is there a way to copy the handler and then just change the command line? it would save a lot of typing and potential mistakes...
