APC INFO Monitor My Virtualmin CentOS 5.6 Virtual Private Server runs several virtual domains with PHP under FCGId using APC for opcode caching: Joomla, PHPbb, WordPress, etc . APC is somewhat challenging to configure properly with fcgid-enabled virtual domains, but it is quite helpful to optimize system resources and prevent traffic surges on one site from affecting overall server performance. Joomla and PHPbb have code that is pre-optimized wi… 46, 2, 8, 0 and 87.1
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… 27, 1, 1, 0 and 44.73
APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments
APC cache does not work well in a virtual hosting environment unless PHP is running as FCGID, and every individual virtual host has a unique PHP.ini and a unique fcgiwrapper. This is not the case with many virtual hosting environments because the memory and CPU requirements are too great. I suggest using Virtualmin for a shared hosting environment with APC cache, because it does allow to set php.ini and fcgiwrapper for every individual virtual h… 19, 2, 5, 0 and 41.05
Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment
t inspection (SPI) firewall & login failure daemon (LFD) for your server: ConfigServer Firewall is an excellent free firewall & lfd. This will help prevent brute force probes, port flooding, DDOS, etc. If you have 600 virtual hosts running on a server, it is very likely that the server is experiencing constant malicious exploits, especially if you are also running email servers on the same IP addresses. Tune Apache the Sane Way (Requires … 23, 1, 3, 0 and 39.56
Apache and MySql Performance Tuning for High Traffic Website
SoccerNews.com is a high traffic WordPress site with over 600,000 unique visitors and over 2,000,000 page impressions per month. It is a content republisher and aggregator, presenting custom XML feeds for (what else?) soccer news from all over the world. The site has a very active user base, providing content in the forms of editorials and comments on news items. Advertising and sponsored referrals provide the revenue stream. SoccerNews.com webs… 16, 0, 1, 0 and 22.53
Load Balancing Virtualmin WordPress Hosting Server with Varnish on AWS
d. A simple and inexpensive extension of this system is to add CloudFront CDN, the “beta users” path. For ultimate reliability and speed, I propose the “users” path: This will take most load off of the Virtualmin/Apache and Webmin/MySQL servers, because the user will be interacting only with CloudFront CDN and Varnish Caching Servers. Load Balancing The Load Balancing layer can be deployed separate from the current config… 10, 1, 0, 0 and 15.79

Automated WordPress Installation Via Custom Virtualmin Script Installer
WordPress (or any other script) can automatically install during Virtualmin > Create Virtual Server. Virtualmin automatically creates users, MySQL database, and installs WordPress in the public_html root, then gives a link to the WordPress Installer. You can even create a custom installer with a set of plugins and themes. To create a custom script installer with plugins and themes: Download http://wordpress.org/latest.zip & unzip add … 7, 0, 0, 0 and 9.87
Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
ker MPM, however: some scripts (squirrelmail, phpmyadmin) do not work on a per-domain basis and must be run direct to the actual server process with symlinked directories. This is much more efficient but less convenient for virtual domain owners some /dev processes took on strange group permissions, getting the gid of the first user in the apache group. browser caching was not well supported… the dreaded “blank screen between page l… 7, 0, 1, 0 and 9.45
