Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Tuning Apache

[Alex Borges]

This is a wide topic in itself. Where ive found the most impact is in
using apache 1.3.26 with lingerd (google for lingerd homepage). It
requires you to patch a vanilla apache thus recompiling php will also be
a must, as will be putting some new up/down scripts for lingerd. But its
well worth the trouble, ive seen amazing increases in performance with
this thing. 

Of all the tunnning options this is the hardest, but with the least cost
(does not require more memmory)

Another thing that can have a lot of impact is php cache. Most are
incorregible leakers, but ive ran into one called turck that seems to be
the smartest in memmory management issues. It will senssibli up your
perfomance. Anyhow, you should have plenty extra ram for this to show.

Finally, db tunning will also affect the performance. Make shure also
that you have enough ram and dig into the query cache and indexing
features of whatever database youre using. Mysql seams the most
configurable, postgres the least, but it does include a configurable
query cache size variable somwhere.

The more you can get on RAM, the fastest it will all go. Phpgroupware is
a hungry app, you do need some good tunning or serious iron to run it
for a larger number of users (300 and up, on less ive seen it can  cope
with it on a 'normal' box -dual 400mhz PII-PRo, scsi 2gig ram box).
