egin. 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 loaded, less wasted memory. Comment out: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf Remove any php_memory_limit lines in httpd.conf’s virtual hosts section. restart apache do some performance testing and rai… 118, 1, 5, 0 and 227.84

Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment
…axconnections accordingly. It is safe to lower maxconnections to a number slightly above the reported highest usage. Doing so will allow you to set higher values for the individual cache settings which affect the thread cache size, because the total thread buffer memory size is multiplied by maxconnections. Feedback is available in the reports for “Total buffers” and “Highest usage of available connections”. After you have… 19, 0, 4, 0 and 46.33
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… 14, 1, 1, 0 and 30.61
Remote publishing to WordPress from Facebook via RSS

The developer tried implementing APC Alternative PHP Cache and W3 Total Cache, but these measures turned out to be incompatible with some of the custom PHP code and the software architecture of the server. Haphazardly implementing randomly suggested “… 2, 0, 2, 0 and 6.39
Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
… raise your worker server and thread limits to sane levels in httpd.conf If you need to recompile Apache and PHP, then you should do more research. Recompiling is not a trivial process. I found that my server had much better memory usage under Worker 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 … 1, 0, 1, 0 and 3.54
