phpmotion + litespeed installation

[NiteWave]

phpmotion:

as its self-description: "PHP motion is a free to download and free to use video sharing software. A PHP video script to make your own Youtube (tm) like website..."

problem:

"Yes we are waiting for Litespeed next update, problem is that we cannot use Litespeed stable version 4.0 as phpmotion do not work with it so we are waiting for 4.1 next release probably RC3 and LSAPI 5.4
once its out we will do internal testing with phpmotion and let you know how it goes."

this was from my host xxxx i have a vps server with them..
using cpanel with litespeed for vps. it kept giving 503 error busy try again..

has anyone had this problem Im usung phpmotion video script latest ver 3.5

I really like litespeed it is so much faster than just php!

I helped to make the site working in a couple of days. here's the summary for benefit others.

phpmotion version: V3.5 - Rev 87
1.503 error
it exists on apache as well.
the cause:
Some files in PHPmotion require "loaders" created by PHPShield; php is 5.2.13, os is x86_64
the fix:

• download 64-bit phpshield
• copy phpshield.5.2.lin to extension_dir

more info can refer http://wiki.phpmotion.com/PHPShield

2.upload progress bar:
under lsws 4.0.15, when upload, the message:
"Failed to find flength file - See http://wiki.phpmotion.com/HelpFileUploadingErrors
Upload is now Complete!"
i.e., upload actually ok and finished, just no progress showing during upload.

the fix:
install lsws 4.1RC3
phpmotion use uber-upload to implement upload progress bar.
uber-uploader works with 4.1RC3 directly, no need install other php-extension like uploadprogress(as described in http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:php:uploadprogress_bar)

initially, upload progress bar still not showing even under 4.1RC3. finally find the reason is in php.ini,
short_open_tag = Off
change to "short_open_tag = On", fixed the issue since uber-upload or phpmotion itself output some "<? " instead of "<?php" php code to display the progress bar.
