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… 31, 0, 0, 0 and 44.07
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.

Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM

Worker is a bit more difficult to set up properly, and has some restrictions regarding functionality of PHP scripts. To determine which MPM is running: /usr/sbin/apachectl -l If you see worker.c in the list of loaded modules, your Apache is running Worker MPM. If prefork.c, it is running prefork.
