Unable to load php.ini

[alex]

I am using LS 4.0.12, I have php 5.2.12 compiled through litespeed. Phpinfo.php shows the path /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib for the php.ini file but the loaded configuration file shows (none)
When I run ./lsphp5 -i from the fcgi-bin directory it shows
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib/php.ini
./lsphp5 -v does not show any startup errors

I have made sure the web site I have the phpinfo on is set to use the server lsphp.
The only odd thing is stderr.log is showing
3:01:26.851 [STDERR] curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
and nothing else

There is a permission problem with /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib.

try

sudo -u <user_lsphp5_run_as> ./lsphp5 -i
