PHP Files on one account have error "503 Service Unavailable"

[iUnknown]

Hello,

As said in the thread title, I have a problem with one hosting account's PHP files. Some of the PHP files are encoded with ioncube, and some are not. All give this error. I have another account with files encoded with ioncube in and they work fine.

This account works fine with apache though.

Thanks.

I posted this in another thread about another issue I was having, and it relates to this:

I originally thought compiling php again would fix the problem I am having here:

Now this is even more puzzling because both apache's PHP and litespeed's PHP contain the same modules... so that shouldn't be a problem... What could be causing this?

Maybe it is due to file permission issue if you are using PHP suEXEC.

Run LiteSpeed on another port with port offset, then build matching PHP binary. If Apache does not use "PHP suEXEC", then "build matching PHP binary", then you can try disabling PHP suEXEC from LiteSpeed.

This is what I did originally. My apache uses suEXEC and I used the build matching php binary feature. It now won't let me use it again because it's already matching.

Must I disable suEXEC before doing this litespeed build?

Thanks

Edit: Just realised PHP suEXEC and suEXEC are two different things... I believe that I use both... is that a problem?

[mistwang]

suEXEC is for CGI script, PHP suEXEC is for PHP script.
If you are using Apache mod_php, then your Apache does not do PHP suEXEC.

In easy apache, you can enable "suphp" to enable PHP suEXEC.

Ok, but how does this affect litespeed's php?

[mistwang]

Apache's PHP wont affect LiteSpeed PHP. those two are independent.
However, it is a good idea to have Apache and LiteSpeed has similar PHP setup, so you can easily trouble shoot one or another by means of comparison.

If you need to rebuild matching PHP no matter the configuration is match or not, you can remove lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp-5.x.x.

I used the "build matching PHP binary" function originally to rebuild litespeed's php to what I have for apache... so surely it should be identical? Can litespeed's php not have php suexec or something?

Please can someone help me with this because there is no point in me having this product if it isn't working for me...
