lsphp4 using high CPU

[mistwang]

You should copy the php.ini used by Apache mod_php then add the eaccelerator configuration.

From command line do "./lsphp4 -v" to make sure there is no error message complaining failed to load eaccelerator.so
You can try removing "extension_dir" configuration in php.ini.

I copied the php.ini from /usr/local/Zend/etc/ to /usr/local/lsws/lsphp4/lib/
removed the Zend lines and added eaccelerator lines.

[mistwang]

remove the "extension_dir" configuration in php.ini

try ./lsphp4 -i

until eaccelerator extension appear in the output.

[anewday]

eaccelerator still does not appear in the output after removing the extension_dir line in php.ini

[mistwang]

check if the right php.ini has been used. And the right path has been used for eaccelerator.so, check if the file exist.

[anewday]

*whewwwww*

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lsws/lsphp4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429"
extension="eaccelerator.so"
eaccelerator.shm_size="48"
eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/lswseaccelerator"
eaccelerator.enable="1"
eaccelerator.optimizer="1"
eaccelerator.check_mtime="1"
eaccelerator.debug="0"
eaccelerator.filter=""
eaccelerator.shm_max="0"
eaccelerator.shm_ttl="0"
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0"
eaccelerator.shm_only="0"
eaccelerator.compress="1"
eaccelerator.compress_level="9"

I got an example from another site and changed it.

Thanks for helping!

[anewday]

Ok, not much have changed since I got eaccelerator working. The lsphp4 process still spikes the cpu usage.

[mistwang]

Have you setup /tmp/lswseaccelerator? any file got created?

[anewday]

Yes, I made that folder and set the permissions correctly, there are many folders and files created. Could it be the fact that I put too many configure parameters during the PHP build?

Also, I see this on the process list:

1804 nobody 16 0 0 0:00.04 0.2 7672 5324 1504 S admin_php -c ../conf/php.ini

why is it showing that path to php.ini file?

[ts77]

I'm curious, are you really worried about a high overall load or just because you see php separately now? with apache you probably had mod_php loaded into apache and therefore only saw apache processes with high load. with litespeed php is run separately and gets requests through lshttpd.
If you got lots of php pages / scripts requested than surely php is running high .
