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… 106, 2, 9, 0 and 206.23
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… 47, 1, 1, 0 and 89.83
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… 25, 3, 6, 0 and 58.3
Tuning Apache and MySQL for Best Performance in a Shared Virtual Hosting Environment
ng value for [mysqld] maxconnections. Begin with maxconnections set slightly higher than maxclients. Take Time to Get a Realistic Assessment of MySQL Performance If you have a PHP opcode and database caching strategy (such as APC) implemented on your web server and for your PHP script packages, you will be able to lower maxconnections, based on the information you receive from mysqltuner after 24-48 hours of steady traffic. For example, I have a … 4, 2, 1, 0 and 14.19

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, 1, 0, 0 and 7.54

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.
