Hi there,

we are just about to setup a new LAMP system for Aegir.
Do you have any recommendations towards the Apache / PHP setup?
There is another server which is running PHP as fastCGI and this is not nice to administer - so I'd like to go with a more standardized setup this time (debian and deb packages whereever possible).

How about SuPHP?
Does APC integrate smoothly into Aegir?
Are there any best practices that come to mind, thinking of a new environment with this system?

Thank you in advance
Bye, Transmitter

Hey, I use a normal lamp

Hey,

I use a normal lamp stack on Ubuntu Lucid server. Just keep in mind some of the Drupal modules don't support PHP 5.3. Since Ubuntu has 5.3 in the repo you can't use those packages. I installed the APT sources from Mercury's Pantheon project to change them back to 5.2.

Here's a link: http://groups.drupal.org/node/70268 (step 2).

You could also just use pantheon, it has all the speed up stuff in it. Not sure about APC though.

Hope this can help you.

Yes, Pantheon uses APC.

Thank you for your comment.

How about some special modules?
Can anyone recommend mod_fcgid?
Does it work together with CLI (drush) and APC?
