APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments
hared hosting environment with APC cache, because it does allow to set php.ini and fcgiwrapper for every individual virtual host, and so to set an individual configuration for APC per virtual server. However with 200+ virtual hosts all running PHP script packages, as is the case with a commodity shared hosting server, this will use a lot of memory, and you will need somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-30GB apc.shm_size if you attempt to configure… 9, 1, 4, 0 and 27.05
Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment
…tion (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 Basic Ma… 4, 1, 2, 0 and 15.53
Joomla Content Management
If you’ve read anything at all about Content Management Systems (CMS), you’ll probably know that CMS are the most effective way to keep your site relevant to your audience. You also know at least three other things: Keeping your site relevant and up-to-date can be time consuming CMS can be complicated Portals can be expensive I’m set to change all that.

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… 5, 0, 0, 0 and 8.87
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 … 3, 0, 0, 0 and 5.32

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… 2, 0, 0, 0 and 3.95

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.
