Tuning LAMP systems, Part 2: Optimizing Apache and PHP
by camel Applications using the LAMP (Linux®, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) architecture are constantly being developed and deployed. But often the server administrator has little control over the application itself because it's written by someone else. This series of three articles discusses many of the server configuration items that can make or break an application's performance. This second article focuses on steps you can take to optimize Apache and PHP.
Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (or Perl) form the basis of the LAMP architecture for Web applications. Many open source packages based on LAMP components are available to solve a variety of problems. As the load on an application increases, the bottlenecks in the underlying infrastructure become more apparent in the form of slow response to user requests. The previous article showed you how to tune the Linux system and covered the basics of LAMP and performance measurement. This article focuses on the Web server components, Apache and PHP.

Echogent
by camel
EchoWare® enables any peer-to-peer or client-server application to utilize a "packet relay server" approach in order to achieve end-to-end connectivity without adjusting any intervening firewalls, proxies or NAT'ing routers. Via echoWare, all the application's data connections appear to the network as "outgoing" connections to the same TCP port of the echoServer.
