Has anyone converted an existing server to suphp?

[hostpc.com]

Due to a couple of recent security issues, I'm ready to think about converting suPHP on our servers. Before I even consider this, I'm looking for feedback from anyone with active servers that has already done this conversion. I've already got newer servers up and running fine with suPHP - what I'm looking to do is convert the older ones. All are running CentOS 5, latest DA and Apache 2.2/php5.28 or 5.29. I've taken into account the server load increasing by ~10-15%. (not an issue, plenty of RAM and lots of drive space)

I'm not looking for "how to" set it up in Directadmin, I'm more concerned about the user experience, what changes, what permissions, etc need to be addressed. For instance, I've heard some horror stories from previous hosts that things like Gallery, Mambo, Joomla "break" because of their funky requirements.

What pitfalls should users be aware of? Any "gotchas" that came back to nip you in the @$$ later?

Thanks for your feedback.

We have converted some servers last friday. No issues as of yet, one minor error with a client's custom app. Though the original app was build for PHP5 and converted to 4 with some lines of code, so that was solved quite rapidly.

Make sure permissions are set correctly. Both folder and file ownership and permissions have to be as suPHP expects them to be. We used the commands from circlesquare's howto: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29483. All files are changed to 644 and folders to 755. In most situations this should not cause any issues.

I'll let you know what we encounter while next week is passing by.
