Welcome to my world
AllowOverride is one of the things that slow down a lot. Disabling it makes apache faster. It is a horror to migrate all .htaccess files by hand. BUT here is a PHP script from Paul Reinheimer which makes it realy easy :-)
Get it htaccess.php
tune your server!
On Windows fcgid crashes apache when apache do a graceful restart (httpd -k restart). Here is a patch that should fix that. This patch in inspired from Tom Dovovan.

Well I didn’t manage it to compile mod_svn without the apache compiled source tree, but than it works fine and fast. Also Python 3 did not work. So I took 2.7
Assuming that OpenSSL 1.0.0a and zlib are compiled in that source tree as well.
C:\python27\python gen-make.py -t vcproj --vsnet-version=2008 --with-httpd=C:\build\httpd-2.2.x-sni-dev-ipv6 --with-openssl=C:\build\httpd-2.2.x-sni-dev-ipv6\srclib\openssl --with-zlib=C:\build\httpd-2.2.x-sni-dev-ipv6\srclib\zlib --with-apr=C:\build\httpd-2.2.x-sni-dev-ipv6\srclib\apr
Than just open subversion_vcnet.sln with Visual C++ Express Edition. Ignore all warnings about solution folders. Choose the __ALL__ project. Than change from debug to release. Start!
My sample config
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so <Location /svn/> DAV svn SVNListParentPath on SVNParentPath /Repositories/ SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl" SVNPathAuthz on AuthzSVNAccessFile "C:/Repositories/authz" AuthName "Subversion Repositories" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile "C:/Repositories/htpasswd" require valid-user </Location>
Download from http://zlib.net/
extract it
For x86
nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc OBJA=inffast.obj MT -manifest zlib1.dll.manifest -outputresource:zlib1.dll;2
For x64
nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc AS=ml64 LOC="-DASMV -DASMINF -I." OBJA="inffasx64.obj gvmat64.obj inffas8664.obj"
Done :-)
Using the web UI for utorrent is a fine thing. But the webserver from utorrent is not secure. So it is recommend to use apache as reverse proxy. I tried to change the url, but I wasn’t successful.
Here the set up of cause inside a vhost.
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so ProxyPass /gui/ http://localhost/gui/ ProxyPassReverse /gui/ http://localhost/gui/
The current stable version ( 0.3) and the latest beta (0.4 beta) of roundcube dislike my upgrade tp PHP 5.3 All other applications run fine, but roundcube. Searching in the logs showed me that there are some PHP 4 code is used and often PHP 4 coding style. The manual says that at least PHP 5.2 must be used or greater. Super, since it does work with 5.3
Good that I’m a PHP developer myself and I found the places in the code I had to change. I had no fun to rewrite the whole code to PHP 5 style. So I just fixed it.What I have changed?
program/lib/MDB2.php on line 392
program/lib/MDB2.php on line 2614
program/lib/PEAR.php on line 563
program/lib/PEAR.php on line 566
By removing the “&”. I also searched for “=&” and replaced it with “=”. Quick and maybe dirty, but now I can check my mails again. I wonder how say you have to use PHP 5.2 or greater and still using that crap code?
Today I changed my server to from prefork mpm to worker mpm.
There are only some issues: in my phpmyadmin I had to set auth from http to cookie. And PHP_ADMIN_VALUE don’t work in the vhosts.
How to install it:
sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker libapache2-mod-fcgid
In the single vhosts
Options Indexes ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FCGIWrapper /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5 .php
So that isn’t hard to do.
Well I would like to have a windows server with apache which is also threaded like worker mpm, but there is no cheap hoster for that yet. At home have that server is not an option cause of the small upload I have with my DSL, the coast of energie and where the hell should I put that server in my small apartment to that I still can sleep?
Apache binaries for windows in 64 bit and 32 bit can be found at apachehaus. I think here is a benefit using Visual Studio 9 aka Visual Studio 2008 instead of VS6. I use Visual Studio 2008 to obtain higher performance and better stability than the binaries built by the Apache Software Foundation.
Binaries are built using the latest versions of the Apache Portable Runtime, OpenSSL and Zlib compression library. OpenSSL and Zlib are built using the optional assembly routines for added performance in the SSL and deflate modules.
Different to other pages for apache on windows apachehaus also offers the httpd with IPv6.
C:\build\>svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl /trunk/ mod_perl-2.0
C:\build\mod_perl-2.0>perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=C:\Apache22
Sadly there is no asm available for 64 bit on windows. That makes openssl minimal slower than with asm, but there is the native 64 bit binary :-)
