suPHP good or bad ?

Hello.
So I have everyday many many support tickets from people complaining because they didn't use the ftp layer and messed up with their file permissions that have been changed to apache:apache owner.
So I was thinking of installing suphp to solve that problem. Cpanel uses it natively.
I've read some good and some pretty nasty things such as that server load skyrockets etc.
I also found a tutorial. I have never used suphp. Has anyone tried this at production ? Is it working well ? Did you discover any pitfalls ?
This is a guide that I found and seems nice.
Code: Select all

I think mod_ruid2 (search for it on these here forums, Scott provides an rpm for it) is a far better method of achieving this, however I've not put either in production. We currently continue with mod_php and keep failing to provide a permissions and ownerships utility to our customers.
This way you keep the efficiency of mod_php without the burden of apache file ownerships and you can of course switch off open_basedir restrictions and make gains there.

Hi again guys.
Welcome I am starting to get crazy with the permissions thing. So I tried installing suphp.
It worked allthough some sites experienced issues and I had to disable it again.
Some Joomla sites work great while others crashed.
An example :
Joomla website error :
Code: Select all
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter "mysql" is not available.
Apache error log :
Code: Select all

Hope someone can help. It is getting crazy with the permissions. There are actually sites that have problem every day due to the apache ownership changes ... !
