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… 65, 2, 1, 0 and 90.57
How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId
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… 52, 1, 3, 0 and 71.43
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… 12, 0, 2, 0 and 19.43
Remote publishing to WordPress from Facebook via RSS
Most WordPress developers know you can use one of several plugins to publish from WordPress to a Facebook wall, app or fan page. Did you know you can also do the opposite? You can publish from Facebook to WordPress by using the FeedWordPress plugin and the RSS feed from your fan page. This can be handy for clients who want to keep their site updated with blog posts, or share links and information, but don’t necessarily want to spend the ti… 17, 1, 1, 0 and 17.88
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 … 13, 2, 0, 0 and 17.41
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, 2, 0, 0 and 17.4

Apache and MySql Performance Tuning for High Traffic Website
ter responding to a plea for assistance in a WordPress.org support forum. Though the site was running on a dedicated server with 8GB RAM, it was crashing frequently under load. 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 “solutions”… 10, 0, 1, 0 and 11.37

Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment
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… 5, 0, 1, 0 and 9.84
