Hi there. We could use nginx as frontend to Apache, but due to your apps it may cause issues. So in this case we should configure and built Apache without making garbage on the server(thanks to Gentoo!) Optimization may include(it depends) such steps as:
- turning off unused DSO's
- choosing right MPM
- HostnameLookups, AllowOverride, FollowSymLinks, SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, Content Negotiation, MaxClients, MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers, StartServers and other parameters tuning
So, feel free to write me down.
Cheers!
