apc

We are exploring few options to setup a site for drupal 7 , we have few combinations like

Nginx + varnish + php7 + php-fpm + memcache + APCU + zend opcode

Apache + varnish + php5 + HHVM + memcache

we need some suggestions on this

This is a media publishing website has more content and it can have 300 - 600 page visits for an hour and has 25000 articles.

I "think" I managed to get php-fpm working reasonably well with my Centos apache server. Running memcached and apc with 2GB of RAM on a VPS.

I am now planning to tackle Varnish. My question is should I be running Nginx for the varnish "static" anon content and/or the entire Drupal 7 site?

Looking around the web, there appear to be many examples of deploying Varnish with Nginx, not so much with apache?

We have a fairly normal multi-server setup: haproxy -> varnish -> drupal

We have drupal using a single memcache instance for all the caches except cache_form (we had 2 for redundancy, but since we're trying to debug this problem we're running it on a single instance).

All the urls that contain '/admin' are excluded from varnish (even though the cookie does that too, we just wanted to make sure this was not the problem).

So what happens is: a lot of the backend forms get cached.

I have installed Boost module for my website to speed up it and it works excellent but as i hosting my site on a shared server, i want to speed up php by using APC but i don't know ho to install it through cPanel. I have read many tutorials but none of them explained how to install APC without using SSH and command line. I am not expert in command line ans SSH and i like to know how i can do it without using command line and SSH.

Buen dìa a todos!

Hay algún problema si no instalo la librería uploadprogress? la pàgina que estoy desarrollando ya estaba alojada en cpanel accelerated 2, definitivamente no està el archivo php.ini, y en cpanel no me resolvieron nada :s entonces mi preocupaciòn es si le pase algo malo a mi proyecto por que me sale el mensaje en Informes de drupal que no tengo la librerìa uploadprogress. Ayuuuuuuda :-(

Hi!

I'm interested in how you guys set up your Drupal servers?
We are up till now been using Apache Worker with fast CGI and adding APC. But we think we have found out that fast CGI uses different APC memory for every user, and that kind of removes some of the benefits with cacheing same data for multiple users.

What do you people use to get good performance of your Drupal sites with dynamic data (geoblocking, mobile device checking and so on) when stuff like varnish cant be used?

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.

Hey folks,

I'm new to this group and wanted to say hi by sharing our case study with you:
http://drupal.org/node/1774428

Any input is welcome. Let me know what you think.

I'm trying to speed up my website and need some suggestions about what things go together and which typically give you the most performance increase. I need to lower CPU usage and caching seems like the way to go. We really need to decrease CPU because our host (a pretty well respected and expensive VPS) is being overloaded with only 2-3 simultaneous users. I've run Yslow and the developers are working on making the recommended changes there.

I am wondering what tuning and configuration do you do to make your environment faster?

Here is my experience:

1. Got more memory utilization from installing PAE on 32 bit Linux.
2. Installed APC, tuned MySQL and got about 50-100% performance boost. See my blog post for more details: http://vmirgorod.name/blog/boosted-lamp-drupal-devs
3. Realized that new NetBeans 7.1.2 is working much faster then Komodo IDE, Zend Studio or Eclipse. People says that 7.2 RC are even more faster. Checkout here http://www.netbeans.com/downloads/index.html
