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, 1, 0, 0 and 20.44
How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId
for opcode caching: Remove apc.ini from /etc/php.d. Do not add the APC configuration into /etc/php.ini (main php.ini which is probably a template used for creation of new virtual servers). Instead, enable APC on a per-domain basis by modifying the respective /home/domainname.com/etc/php5/php.ini — your httpd.conf or virtual.conf should look something like this for each virtual domain. <VirtualHost 99.88.177.288:80> ServerName chrisgi… 7, 0, 0, 0 and 16.62
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… 4, 0, 0, 0 and 9.79
Remote publishing to WordPress from Facebook via RSS
om an RSS feed and publishes articles as WordPress posts. It is somewhat complex to set up properly, so I won’t go into that here. It’s up to you to figure it out, but it is very useful for adding non-copyright or permitted content to your site or a client’s site. For instance, I use it to publish bicycle manufacturer’s RSS feeds to a local bike shop’s WordPress site. You can also use it to create a scraper site, but… 3, 0, 0, 0 and 6.92
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.

Load Balancing Virtualmin WordPress Hosting Server with Varnish on AWS
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… 3, 0, 0, 0 and 5.17

Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
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 but less convenient for virtual domain owners some /dev processes took on strange group permissions, getting t… 1, 0, 0, 0 and 2.87
