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… 11, 2, 1, 0 and 26.54
Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
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 … 9, 1, 3, 0 and 19.68
Apache and MySql Performance Tuning for High Traffic Website
…imate. Popular sites that do not have a solid security and load balancing strategy are subject to crippling traffic from the Internet’s millions of malicious and compromised servers and personal computers. Reconfigured Apache web server, PHP and MySQL to better utilize the server’s horsepower. Default configurations were limiting the number of concurrent user sessions the server could handle. Changed PHP to run as FastCGI (fcgid) and… 2, 2, 2, 0 and 11.95
How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId
…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… 7, 0, 1, 0 and 11.92
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
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… 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 … 2, 0, 1, 0 and 4.49
