Fast CGI w/ Apache

[Zhana]

Hi,

Since so many members are using fast cgi. I wanna ask if anyone is using Fast CGI with Apache? Is IPB compatible with Fast CGI? And what kind of cache are you using with this kind of setup?


Thank you.

Yes, I'm on Apache2 with memcached and FastCGI. I only just modified Apache last night to serve .php through fcgi but it has made a reasonable difference, and shaved page load time as well as reducing average load on the server.

Give it a try and let us know whether you find it beneficial?

Cheers,
Shaun :D

Glad to hear that Shaun. I'll give it a try soon.


Cheers.

I recommend fastcgi as well, made a HUGE difference in page load times on my server.

Hi,

What module do you use, fastcgi or fcgid?
What about apc and shared processes?

Thanks

When you compile fastcgi it enables fcgid automatically. I still haven't determined the best cache/accelerator. eaccellerator seemed to do pretty good, but I have noticed some oddities with it.

Works great for me I use Apache 2.2 with Fast CGI.

seems to work well, but always get errors in my log files.

Me too. I plan to look into them at some point, but they're low on the priority list at the moment ... :wink:

Yeah use mod_fcgi and then do some tweeking in the config, You can really boost the php pages by 60% to the standard fastcgi. You may need a few spair memory though but not alot, will benefit dedicated servers as it controls the memorys more better, Rather than openVZ vps, It reports it wrong.
