PHP5, eAccelerator configuration question.

[priceline]

I am currently using PHP5, apache latest version.

Just installed litespeed standard edition, which is using PHP4.

Can you provide details on how I can configure?
1. Use PHP5 instead of PHP4
2. Configure my sites to use Litespeeed (disable apache)
3. Configure eAccelerator

I gone through some documentation, but all these are to download the latest php and configure. I already have one installed, so looking for instructions to use php5. Same as with eAccelerator (it is already configured for apache).

I want to see the performance differences before completely switching to litespeed. I took the performance measurements via apache's ab tool, so I will compare it to litespeed.

Thanks,

Edit: I installed WHM plugin also if it makes any difference.

I went through Actions-->Compile PHP-->Build PHP5-->Checked eAccelerator-->Build PHP5

but when i go to phpinfo.php, it still shows as php4.4.9

Edit: okay after i restarted the server, it picked up latest version.
edit2: I switched to litespeed on WHM, but the page is not displaying.. any additional settings needed?
I followed the instructions at:

check your "Script Handler" setting:
http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/we...scripthandler/

to configure lsphp5 to handle .php/.php5, lsphp4 to handle .php4 etc.

I think it is something to do with listener.. how do i specify litespeed to listen to port 80?

what's your settings on Server-->External App now?

Since you're in WHM/cPanel environment, the listener setting could be empty.

When i click on Build matching PHP, I have this message:
Apache php configuration has more options that are not available or different in lsphp:

the setting is ok. so go ahead to set "Script Handler" as mentioned before, will resolve one of the problems:"when go to phpinfo.php, it still shows as php4.4.9", it will show php 5.x.x

It is showing php5.x.x after i restarted the server., but the following configuration settings are suspicious:

Server API LiteSpeed
Virtual Directory Support disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib
Loaded Configuration File (none)
Scan this dir for additional .ini files (none)
additional .ini files parsed (none)

These are the settings for script handler:
php5 LiteSpeed API [Server Level]: lsphp5 Edit Delete
php4 LiteSpeed API [Server Level]: lsphp4 Edit Delete
php LiteSpeed API [Server Level]: lsphp5 Edit Delete

Or can you help in Yahoo/hotmail IM?

You can copy your current php.ini to /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib.
Or, you can rebuild PHP5 by setting "Install Path Prefix" to "/usr/local", assuming apache php uses php.ini under /usr/local/lib/ directory.
