 ===== What is PHP Detached Mode? =====

+PHP Detached Mode is a big feature available in LSWS 5.3 and later. OpenLiteSpeed supports PHP detached mode starting from 1.5.6.
 In previous versions (LSWS 5.2.x and below), all PHP processes were attached to LiteSpeed Web Server processes. As such, when LiteSpeed Web Server restarted, so would the PHP processes. In PHP Detached Mode, the PHP processes will continue running independently, even when LiteSpeed Web Server restarts.

+To restart detached PHP processes for the account (vhost) level, you can touch a ''.lsphp_restart.txt'' file under the user's home directory, for example ''/home/USER1/'' on a cPanel/WHM server:
-  touch <user_home_dir>/.lsphp_restart.txt
+  touch /home/USER1/.lsphp_restart.txt
-To make it compatible with CloudLinux mod_lsapi CRIU feature, server will restart PHP by ''mod_lsapi_reset_me'' as well
+Once ''.lsphp_restart.txt'' is created, the user's PHP will be restarted when next request comes in.  The file ''.lsphp_restart.txt'' won't be removed. LSWS will check the timestamp of the file to decide if the user's detached PHP needs to be restarted or not. You can manually remove it if you want to but it's not necessary. Every time you want to restart that user's detached PHP, you can just touch the file again, whether it already exists or not, in order to refresh the timestamp.
+To maintain CloudLinux mod_lsapi CRIU feature compatibility, the server will restart PHP if it finds a ''mod_lsapi_reset_me'' file as well.
   touch <user_home_dir>/mod_lsapi_reset_me

 If you install a new fresh LSWS 5.3 installation, you probably won't see any PHP external apps or PHP handlers defined there. Don't worry. This is normal. If you still want to define external apps manually, you can do so. LSWS will honor these settings, and they will override the built-in external apps definition.
-Currently, LSWS auto-detects apps and handlers up to PHP 7.3. Two handlers: ''application/x-httpd-ea-php71'' and ''application/x-httpd-alt-php71'' now point to separate handlers, where prior to 5.3, both pointed to the lsphp71 handler configuration.

 So, how do you configure PHP settings if there are no external apps defined there anymore? See the new **PHP** tab in the Web Admin console to adjust the configuration.
