Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment

By on August 22, 2011 in Wordpress

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… 20, 3, 2, 0 and 43.37

Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM

By on July 13, 2011 in Wordpress

Some installations of Apache will have been compiled to work with either Prefork or Worker MPM, but most by default are compiled only to work with Prefork. Changing to Worker MPM may allow your server to handle much higher 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 … 15, 1, 4, 0 and 27.36

How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId

By on November 8, 2010 in Wordpress

ave code that is pre-optimized with hooks for APC, but WordPress requires a plugin called W3 Total Cache. First Things First Please read my posts about APC on commodity virtual hosting servers and Apache and MySQL performance tuning before you begin. If you are running your virtual servers under FCGId, then you should do so for all virtual servers on your machine. Why? Because then you do not need apache’s mod_php (php module). Less modules… 16, 0, 3, 0 and 23.86

WordPress with W3 Total Cache on Nginx with APC (Virtualmin)

By on March 12, 2012 in Web Server Performance Tuning, Wordpress

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… 15, 0, 0, 0 and 22.62

Load Balancing Virtualmin WordPress Hosting Server with Varnish on AWS

By on May 17, 2012 in Amazon Web Services, Consulting, Content Management Systems, Virtualmin, Wordpress

I am creating a true load balancer topography for a WordPress hosting server, if it needs to scale up beyond what the current system can handle. Scaling Levels The current system is the “admin” path shown in the diagram, with no CDN or Load Balancing. It will handle a lot of traffic, but it is somewhat vulnerable to failure and overload. A simple and inexpensive extension of this system is to add CloudFront CDN, the “beta users… 12, 1, 0, 0 and 18.01

APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments

By on August 22, 2011 in Wordpress

…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 … 8, 0, 3, 0 and 13.02
