How to Configure APC Cache on Virtual Servers with PHP running under FCGId

By on November 8, 2010 in Wordpress

ndler .php5 IPCCommTimeout 12 </VirtualHost> You must “babysit” the configuration: use the APC monitor (apc.php) to see how many files are being cached, and how much memory (apc.shm_size) is needed to avoid fragmentation, which will cause the 500 errors.

By on March 12, 2012 in Web Server Performance Tuning, Wordpress

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… 58, 2, 1, 0 and 90.04

APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments

By on August 22, 2011 in Wordpress

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… 11, 1, 1, 0 and 24.38

Image Manipulation in WordPress Editor – Crop, Rotate, Resize Images

By on August 29, 2009 in Wordpress

I like the way WordPress handles all of the image files attached to a post… it lends itself to slideshows, etc. But recently I had a question about rotating images within the editor, and I went searching for a plugin to do it… and found … 3, 1, 1, 0 and 4.1
