Yup, I migrated my forums to new servers (dual xeon to quad opterons) using completely new software - FreeBSD, Lighttpd instead of Apache. Lighttpd is really amazing, and I recommend that everyone switch from Apache to Lighttpd. APC works fine on the setup too. Just sharing.

Mind you, my lighttpd is causing server errors at the moment, and I'm trying to troubleshoot it. It's possible APC doesn't want to work it. I can't get eA to work with it.

You are trying to run both at the same time erwin? eA and APC accomplish the same thing.

I've got lighttpd running on a new server just for serving images, and large downloads (E3 is a killer on the site in question). Has made a huge differnece offloading just the images to another server. Loads on the three servers are below 1 and its running great.

No, not at the same time - one or the other.

I had to remove the quake.net tweaks in the end. I was getting server errors with them for some reason...

By the way, my servers are with www.webnx.com and they are by far the cheapest providers of top end hardware I've found. We're talking Quad Opterons or Dual/Dual Opterons with 15k SCSI hardware RAID arrays for a few hundred bucks - and their service has been great so far - unmanaged servers but they help out wherever they can. I highly recommend them. You can contact Dan Paultz, who's a great guy, if you're interested in some high-end boxes to lease. The provisioning of the boxes take a while but once they're up they're good.

Virtual hosts are flexible in lighttpd - I don't do them at the moment but if I did I would be IP based.

I was refering to the simple version or the conditional based version.

What kind of problems are you having with lighttpd?

We're using lighttpd + phpfcgi + 64bit CentOS and lately experiencing segfaults from the php processes. I see a few bug listings regarding segfaults on APC and have a hunch it might be that.

BTW, eA does not work on a 64bit OS.
