Alright, I contacted support and told them that I was having trouble with HTTP500 errors. I was also having trouble with some permissions errors - I didn't own a couple of folders for some reason. Support corrected the permission errors, but could find nothing wrong with PHPSUEXEC or PHP. However, all my PHP files now work fine!

The problem is an unexpected consequence of PHPSUEXEC: it makes sure all the owners match on PHP files and such. Because of this, if you have any file or folders you don't own (you can't delete them), PHP scripts will fail to run in every directory below your current.

In other words: If you're having trouble with PHP, get support to make sure you actually own all your files and folders (you can't change ownership yourself).
