Troubleshooting Apache using strace

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 21:55:42 -0400

Occasionally system administrators can run into situations where the conventional way of troubleshooting an issue may not yield results. The conventional way means using test scripts, observing the log files, tweaking configuration settings and the like. In such cases, one will have to dig deeper into the internals of the server.

Configuring Apache for Maximum Performance

Apache is an open-source HTTP server implementation. It is the most popular web server on the Internet; the December 2005 Web Server Survey conducted by Netcraft [1] shows that about 70% of the web sites on Internet are using Apache.

LAMP vs. LAMP Rematch

admin — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 01:52:22 -0500

Two very popular and widely used languages for building dynamic web sites are Perl and PHP. They make up two thirds of the "P" in the Linux Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP) stack. How does their performance, using mod_perl and mod_php, compare for everyday web programming? I attempted to find out.

Lighttpd can lighten Apache's load

admin — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 01:59:17 -0400

Is your Apache Web server slowing down under the weight of streaming media content or database-driven applications? Lighttpd, sometimes pronounced "Lighty," is a lightweight HTTP server that can help alleviate Apache's load by serving static content or CGI scripts. Since Lighttpd uses fewer resources per request than Apache alone, it can generally serve most static content faster than Apache. It also benefits from an actively developed FastCGI interface that performs true load balancing, giving you all the performance benefits of compiled into Apache modules such as PHP.

Deploying Ruby on Rails

This article is an introduction to the installation and deployment of Ruby on Rails.

Low cost, load balanced LAMP cluster

admin — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:56:00 -0400

The ubiquitous Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python (LAMP) combination
powers many interactive web sites and projects. When demand exceeds the
capabilities of a single server, the database is typically moved to a different
server to spread the workload. When demand exceeds a two server solution, it's
time to think cluster.

Installing an Apache server on Windows

admin — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 22:40:00 -0400

This tutorial will guide you, step by step, through the installation of Apache, along with PHP and MySQL (and phpMyAdmin), under Windows.
For this tutorial, we used apache_2.0.54-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi, php-5.0.4-Win32.zip, mysql-essential-4.1.12a-win32.msi and phpMyAdmin-2.6.3-pl1.zip, on a machine running Windows XP Home SP2 (but this tut works fine with XP Pro, but there is a little problem with Win 2000 - but that won't prevent you from running the full server though).

Building and Installing Apache 2.2.0 and PHP 5.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.4

admin — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 23:50:00 -0400

For anyone that has been wishing to switch to Apache 2 on their Mac, this is the
time to do it. PHP 5 has also recently been updated to 5.1.2 and this tutorial
describes in detail, the best method to both build and install these programmes
on your Mac.

Since Apple don't include Apache 2 with OS X yet I have felt it better to keep
Apache 2 in its own directory, and to keep PHP for Apache 2, etc. confined the
that directory too.

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) HOWTO: Installing MySQL and Apache with PHP support on Linux

admin — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 01:17:00 -0500

I receive a great deal of mail as a result of this HOWTO, much of it asking me to solve various LAMP-related problems. Please bear in mind that the money that puts food on my family's table comes from the consultancy work that I do. If you would like help with any of the points discussed in this article, mail me and tell me what that help is worth to you. Quote any amount you like, and if I'm able to help you out, you can make a PayPal donation by way of thanks. Fair enough?
