fcgid

Hello all,

I am running (and developing) a site that runs on multiple (app) nodes behind a load balancer, and a separate database and storage server. Each node runs Apache (MPM worker) with FCGI, APC turned on. Drupal 7 based, with the APC module enabled, with most cache tables deferred to APC.

First, many thanks for the invaluable tuning discussions/resources here and on 2bits. They've been most helpful.

Lately I've been testing a change from:
mpm_prefork
suEXEC
suPHP
zend Optimizer

to the recommended:
mpm_worker
suEXEC
mod_fcgid (2.3.6)
APC (3.1.7)

I mainly followed the excellent instructions and relative values used here: http://2bits.com/articles/apache-fcgid-acceptable-performance-and-better...
