I was lucky enough to attend PyCon-AU recently and one talk in particular highlighted the process of web server optimisation.

Graham Dumpleton’s add-in talk Web Server Bottlenecks And Performance Tuning available on YouTube (with the majority of PyCon-AU talks)

The first big note at the beginning is that the majority of the delay in user’s perception of a website is caused by the browser rendering the page. Though not covered in the talk for those that haven’t used the tool YSlow (for Firefox and Chrome) or Google’s Developer Tools (ctrl-alt-I in Chrome), both tools will …

Configuring Your LEMP System (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM) For Maximum Performance

If you are using nginx as your webserver, you are looking for a performance boost and better speed. nginx is fast by default, but you can optimize its performance and the performance of all parts (like PHP and MySQL) that work together with nginx. Here is a small, incomprehensive list of tips and tricks to configure your LEMP system (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM) for maximum performance. These tricks work for me, but your mileage may vary. Do not implement them all at once, but one by one and check what effect the modification has on your system's performance.

If you use PrestaShop and nginx, you may find this script to convert PrestaShop’s .htaccess rules into an nginx rule file useful:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print <<EOF;
fastcgi_buffers           16 128k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffer_size       128k;
client_body_buffer_size   128k;
EOF
while (<>) {
    if (/^RewriteRule \^(.*) \[L\]$/) { print "rewrite ^/$1? break;\n"; }
    if (/^RewriteRule \^(.*) \[QSA,L\]$/) { print "rewrite ^/$1 break;\n"; }
    if (/^ErrorDocument (\d+) (.*)$/) { print "error_page $1 = $2;\n"; }
}

Save as convert-htaccess.pl and run with ./convert-htaccess.pl <.htaccess >.htaccess.nginx. Then don’t forget to include .htaccess.nginx into your nginx site configuration and reload nginx.

If you have multiple languages or an other configuration that includes { brackets }, you may have to adapt the script.

Running phpMyAdmin On Nginx (LEMP) On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04

The phpMyAdmin package from the Debian/Ubuntu repositories comes with configuration files for Apache and Lighttpd, but not for nginx. This tutorial shows how you can use the Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04 phpMyAdmin package in an nginx vhost. Nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.
