Hello,

I am getting error that PHP handler can not be registered, because of missing Directory /php/php-5.5.20/bin/php-cgi

@md-frg are you sure the installation was completed? maybe you've got some compilation error, also make sure all the paths in the script are correct in case you've changed them

I am getting the following error, any hints? Thanks.

[2015-02-28 03:10:32] ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed
Unable to register the PHP handler: Binary /php/php-5.5.20/bin/php-cgi doesn't exists

No errors but it still has php 5.4 en not 5.5....... Why?

@bartproductions
You still have to enable it for a website. You can do this in Websites > Hosting Settings for a specific website.
This procedure just compiles and installs the custom handler.

and how to register for Apache module?

Hero! Worked perfectly

Thanks for this, I've installed this but can't seem to enable opcache.
