Folks,<br>
<br>
If you take a look at<br>
zend.to/phpfpm<br>
you will find my simple step-by-step guides for switching Apache to
what may be a faster load-handling model on your system, and
switching PHP over to php-fpm instead of the older mod_php.<br>
<br>
The steps are as short and simple as I think I can make them!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

Folks,<br>
<br>
I've been working on some instructions to speed up Apache (and
hopefully reduce its memory usage) by switching from the "prefork"
model to the "worker" model, and using php-fpm instead of mod_php.<br>
<br>
I haven't got any ZendTo sites where the load difference would be
very noticeable, but I suspect some of you do.<br>
I've worked out how to do it on Ubuntu/Debian (hopefully most
recent versions!) and on CentOS/RedHat 7.<br>
<br>
If I write up the instructions as a couple of "How To" guides on
the website, would you like to try them out?<br>
<br>
It's pretty straightforward, you don't need to know anything much
about how Apache works. But the changes will affect *all* websites
on the server/VM that runs your ZendTo site. So if you're sharing
the server/VM between multiple services, tread carefully.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

The current UK shipping forecast:
Thames, Dover, Wight, Portland, Plymouth: East or northeast 3 to 5. Smooth or
slight at first in Thames and Dover, otherwise mainly slight or moderate,
becoming rough later in west Plymouth. Fair. Good.

'Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds
us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from
us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see
ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.'
