egin. If you are running your virtual servers under FCGId, then you should do so for all virtual servers on your machine. Why? Because then you do not need apache’s mod_php (php module). Less modules loaded, less wasted memory. Comment out: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf Remove any php_memory_limit lines in httpd.conf’s virtual hosts section. restart apache do some performance testing and rai… 108, 1, 5, 0 and 206.74

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… 13, 1, 1, 0 and 28.43

Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM
raise your worker server and thread limits to sane levels in httpd.conf If you need to recompile Apache and PHP, then you should do more research. Recompiling is not a trivial process. I found that my server had much better memory usage under Worker MPM, however: some scripts (squirrelmail, phpmyadmin) do not work on a per-domain basis and must be run direct to the actual server process with symlinked directories. This is much more efficient … 1, 0, 1, 0 and 3.54
