Optional steps
-------------------
6. Starting with H-Sphere version 3.1, you can have more options to choose for PHP 4 and PHP 5. For this, first disable the PHP resource on the Web Service page and then enable the Advanced PHP resource below. You can choose between the following modes:

PHP5:
** libphp - PHP runs as an Apache module. The advantage is that PHP is always in memory use which results in a higher speed capability and lower server load. This is the default mode for PHP5.

** fastcgi - PHP also runs as a CGI script, but under a single process which does not stop when the script is executed. This allows to minimize server load while running PHP in CGI mode.

PHP4:
** cgi - PHP runs as a CGI script in a separate process which starts with each request and completes its work upon the script execution.

7. At the top of the Web Service page, click the Apply link for the Server configuration to change. The changes will take effect within 15 minutes.
