Few weeks ago i rent one box VPS to test resource usage from three different webservers without any tweaks, it is just basic installation with PHP and MySQL. This three webservers are Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed Free Edition. I’m using wordpress basic installation (without any plugins) plus one 404KB image and load it with 50 visitors maximum simultaneously. This VPS has 256MB memory (512MB burst) and using CentOS 5.5 32bit with OpenVZ virtualization. Allright here are the results.
Apache

This is the improvement of my previous Nginx version 0.8.53 with PHP 5.3.5 installation, and also this time i’m not using php-fpm to run fastcgi, i’m using php-cli command to run fastcgi, and the result is memory usage decreased about 50MB. So let’s get it on!
VPS: CentOS 5.5 32bit with 256MB RAM XEN
Add EPEL and REMI repository, also update YUM (we will use REMI reposity for PHP 5.3.5)
EPEL 32bit
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
EPEL 64bit
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
REMI
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm yum -y update

yum -y install GeoIP GeoIP-devel GeoIP-data perl libperl
32bit
rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/i386/nginx-stable-0.8.54-1.el5.i386.rpm
64bit
rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/x86_64/nginx-stable-0.8.54-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
start Nginx and add to init
/etc/init.d/nginx start chkconfig --add nginx chkconfig nginx on
Configure Nginx virtual host
As usual i prefer separate Nginx vhost for each domain so it will be easier to manage, and “/home” directory for domain root so it will ease you to synchronize domain root with ftp user root
create your domain root
mkdir -p /home/domain/public_html mkdir -p /home/domain/logs
create two directory for domain vhost
mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
edit Nginx configuration (more…)
