Web hosting has changed dramatically in the last few years. The majority of accounts are now running PHP scripts and MySQL, whereas in the past most accounts were only serving static HTML files. This presents challenges in security as well as performance tuning. It is impossible to predict whether a certain configuration will work properly for a given server, unless the hardware, software, accounts, network and traffic are identical to a previou… 18, 3, 3, 0 and 46.39
How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId
rver load and overall memory usage. It takes time to configure, and must be re-configured whenever PHP script software is added to a virtual server. The more plugins/mods/components you add to a PHP software package, the more scripts, database queries and objects will be cached. If you have PHP scripts or plugins that do not need to be cached (low traffic pages such as contact forms, PHP scripts that do not have APC hooks and have their own cachi… 17, 0, 3, 0 and 33.66
Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
traffic, more user sessions, with less RAM use. Your site or server will not scale well if it is running Prefork MPM. Worker is a bit more difficult to set up properly, and has some restrictions regarding functionality of PHP scripts. To determine which MPM is running: /usr/sbin/apachectl -l If you see worker.c in the list of loaded modules, your Apache is running Worker MPM. If prefork.c, it is running prefork.

…uery cache based on performance and load testing. Configured Amazon CloudFront Content Distribution Network, page cache, browser cache, and object cache with the WordPress plugin, W3 Total Cache. Due to the sheer number of ad scripts being served per page, there were inevitable JavaScript and PHP conflicts, but W3TC is very flexible and was able to handle the task.

WordPress with W3 Total Cache on Nginx with APC (Virtualmin)
Virtualmin now includes support for Nginx web server. I deploy many WordPress sites with W3 Total Cache and APC Alternative PHP Cache, so I was very interested to see how Nginx performance compares to Apache for WordPress, and whether APC and W3TC would play nice with Nginx. I prefer to install WordPress in public_html/wordpress for ease of development, compatibility with other scripts, etc. Accordingly, the suggested configuration is for WordPr… 13, 0, 0, 0 and 22.15
Load Balancing Virtualmin WordPress Hosting Server with Varnish on AWS
… OK for beta stage. Traffic via Route 53 will be served from the Varnish instances, which will be load balanced, in multiple Availability Zones, and will serve cached WordPress pages as static HTML. W3 Total Cache coordinates Apache and Varnish to provide updated disk-cached pages, and some data objects. CloudFront CDN pulls linked images, css, js, etc. from Apache via the W3 disk and opcode caches. Redundancy and Fault Tolerance More fault toler… 6, 0, 0, 0 and 8.91
APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments
…not by the clients. I do not think APC is the correct cache for most shared web hosting servers, given the number of virtual hosts. You will probably have better results if you remove APC and concentrate on Apache performance tuning and MySQL cache. If your clients are adamant in their requests to use APC cache, you may wish to move them to a different server which can properly handle their needs. Virtualmin is a very good choice for this, as it … 3, 0, 2, 0 and 7.8
