I've perused the library, and done some searches here. Hopefully, there's a quickstart document I just missed.

I'm running a vBulletin website on Ubuntu 10.04. I've previously tweaked my mpm-worker settings, but things are getting slow again.

I've collected about four months worth of stats with awstats, and 70% of my requests are just for static content, so it seems like this would be a great solution.

However, I've been unable to dig up a quick document on how to get this to work. Any pointers?

You could switch to nginx and fastcgi (see http://library.linode.com/lemp-guides/u ... .04-lucid/)

Otherwise it's the same as that doc except when you get to the bit about fcgi you'll need to use proxy_* options instead of fastcgi_*

Simple config would be


location ~ \.php$
{
proxy_pass http://localhost:81;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

That assumes that you set apache to listen on port 81.
