I made some testing on my dev machine and liked event mpm. So I installed it here. I noticed that the event mpm closes the connections faster than worker mpm. Some download tests sadisfied me. Less memory usage and faster serving :-) For now I keeped the settings from worker mpm. I’ll look for tweaking in the next days.
Different to the docs event mpm works fine with SSL.
sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-event libapache2-mod-fcgid
Also the serving PHP over fcgid is nice. The implementation of PHP over fcgid in the older post.
Just after such a short time the memory increased. The server hat the double memory usage than before event mpm. A testing in a VM with ab showed better results with worker than event mpm. So I switched back :-/
