DirectAdmin

Today, I got a problem with one of my website. Suddenly, I could access my website using Nginx but all themes were gone. I, then, switched back to Apache. It became worse. I can't access my website at all. The error when access my website using Apache is below :

1. Download RPMForge Package. Check your system with uname -a command to get the suitable package. Below is the current one I got :

32-bit system

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

64-bit system

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

If you want to check for the latest one, check it from -> http://packages.sw.be/

When you do a reverse proxy in which Nginx will be the one who listen the traffic and forward anything needs to be process through PHP to Apache. With this, Apache will always receive an IP from Nginx server (or I should say localhost / 127.0.0.1 / local IP), not the real IP that user uses. In order to let Apache knows what is real user IP, we need to install mod_rpaf.

Just copy and paste code below into SSH :

I try to use Nginx as a reverse proxy to see if there is any improvement over Apache Worker MPM or not. I found an instruction from DirectAdmin webboard but it's quite old. So, I just tried to follow their steps and do some modification to match what I have read. Below is what I did

1. You need to compile Nginx. Nginx version 0.8.54 is the lastest stable release as of today. So, just copy and paste below code into your SSH

I've heard about PHP-FPM about a month ago from DirectAdmin webboard. Then, a few weeks ago, I had a couple websites that I need to make it run faster. After tried to do many things with it like ... to use mod_fcgid / XCache / Memcached, I feel like there was something in XCache since "Page execution time" is quite high. Then, I remember that I've read from many websites that XCache doesn't really work with mod_fcgid. From the technical point, all of them explained it clearly to understand.

For some reason, under CentOS, Custombuild in DirectAdmin use "MySQL - Generic Linux (glibc 2.3) (x86, 64-bit) RPM file" instead of MySQL RPM files for Redhat. The different for these 2 packages are that, RPM for Redhat contain "ha_innodb_plugin.so" but not in Generic RPM package.

Compare files in Plugin folder on two different RPM.
