Load decreased significantly and crashes seem to be problems of the past. The configuration was a breeze, nothing really hard, although scarce on the Net.
Still, I’m having minor problems when zombie processes get killed, it seems php stops serving when this is happening. Still looking for an answer to that, but it’s just a minor glitch.

thanks from another Jack-of-all-trades

The reason it does this is to allow better privilege separation (with PHP code runs as the user who owns the domain, rather than as the web server user).

On a multi-user server, this is a good precaution; but it’s unnecessary when you’re only using the server to host your own sites. In these cases it’s probably best just to use PHP via the DSO module in Apache – you can do this via the easyapache command line script
