If since yesterdays (July 21st 09) upgrade your website is experiencing any problems with permissions or similar then the fix for you is simple.
Here's an overview of the changes:
php5 is now runs as an apache module.
php4 is only available as cgi.
php5 can be apache module or cgi.
Magento works best on php5 cgi if you previously had it on php5-cgi (ensure php4 is disabled)
Oscommerce works best on php5 apache module with register globals enabled in a .htaccess
wordpress is fairly robust and will work on either.
Joomla seems happy on php5-cgi (php4 disabled)
Almost all issues with webspaces can be resolved by changing to php5 as apache module and disabling php4. As php4 is EOL since December 2007 people should try not to use it at all.
