Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
Some installations of Apache will have been compiled to work with either Prefork or Worker MPM, but most by default are compiled only to work with Prefork. Changing to Worker MPM may allow your server to handle much higher traffic, more user sessions, with less RAM use. Your site or server will not scale well if it is running Prefork MPM.

WordPress with W3 Total Cache on Nginx with APC (Virtualmin)
Virtualmin now includes support for Nginx web server.
