Per Domain php.ini

Most of the time, you should use cPanel's MultiPHP Manager to handle overriding PHP values. However, some PHP settings are not supported by cPanel MultiPHP Manager, such as allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include. For these settings, you will need to use PHPRC or PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR to define the php.ini for each user.

One user may have many subdomains or addon domains, which may be located in subdirectories under the main domain's document root. All such domains will use doc_root/php.ini. If you prefer for each subdomain to have it's own php.ini, for example /home/USER1/public_html/subdomain.com/php.ini, instead of relying on the user-level /home/USER1/public_html/php.ini, you can do the following:

• In LSWS Web Admin Console, change php external app from Environment: PHPRC=$VH_ROOT/public_html (user based) to Environment: PHPRC=$DOC_ROOT (domain based), if the user has a full php.ini at /home/USER1/public_html/php.ini. Change it from Environment: PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=$VH_ROOT/public_html (user based) to Environment: PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=$DOC_ROOT (domain based) if the user has a patial php.ini.
• Restart LSWS and lsphp to put the new Environment into effect.

• #95097495 - add DedicatePhpHandler to the vhost, phpappbydomain is  more resource intensive and this config option was recently added to LiteSpeed in

• #95800429 - Provided the noted LiteSpeed documentation.
