 ====== Compile PHP for LSWS (with LSAPI) (Archive Only) ======
-There is an function of "compile PHP" (with LSAPI) in LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) Web Admin Console, which is pretty much a legacy function used in old age. It can incompatible with any control panel environment such as cpanel, plesk, DirectAdmin etc, or even with CloudLinux.  Even in a environment without control panel, RPMs/Packages have already provided most efficient way to get PHP installed and configured. There are not many cases for such PHP compiling requirement.  If you run into such occasional situation and do have such need, please take the following steps, but take them as archived/legacy information.
+There is a functionality available in the LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) Web Admin console, “Compile PHP”. This is a legacy function used for previous releases but that will soon be retired. The function is incompatible with all current control panel environments such as cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. Even in environments without a control panel “Compile PHP” is obsolete. Especially with RPM and Debian Packages providing a more efficient way to install and configure PHP. There are even certain environments ( CloudLinux ) providing their own special packages for PHP that claim to be more secure and stable than that of the standard packages. There are currently not many use cases in which compiling PHP from source is required, but if one does run into such a case, please follow the following steps, but take note this is legacy information.

 Restart LiteSpeed to make it effective.
+===== Setup PHP.ini =====
+Normally you can specify php.ini file path through '-with-config-file-path=xxx' during the compiling. If not, you can verify through
+  bin/lsphp -i | more
+ Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lsws/lsphp56/lib/
+ Loaded Configuration File =>  /usr/local/lsws/lsphp56/lib/php.ini
+In general, you can copy a sample php.ini file from source code to lsphp56/lib location.
+  cp php.ini-production lsphp56/lib/php.ini
+You can run the php binary again to check if the php.ini file being loaded.

 ===== Checking Installation =====
 There are a number of ways to check whether your PHP installation was successful. One of the simplest is to run the following code:
-  cd /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/
+ /usr/local/lsws/lsphp56/bin/lsphp -v
-  ./lsphp5 -v
 It should return the information on your new PHP build:
-  PHP 5.5.15 (litespeed) (built: Aug 20 2014 14:09:09)
+  PHP 5.6.15 (litespeed) (built: Aug 20 2014 14:09:09)
