Why You Should Always Use Nginx With Microcaching

Why You Should Always Use Nginx With MicrocachingEverybody knows how hard is to push out as much as possible from your webserver(s). In my daily occupation as a hosting engineer that means I fairly often get the same question, “Wow, cool website, but can it cope with big-time traffic?”.  The “normal” situationA “normal” website running under Apache with mod_php should be able to put out 20 requests per second with ease, but what if you get like 50 requests per second (not strange with some websites like websites for political parties etc.)?

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Fedora 17

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Fedora 17Version 1.0Author: Falko Timme Follow me on TwitterThis tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on Fedora 17.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary NoteI’m using the website www.example.com here with the document

This saves bandwidth and makes your web site appear faster (if a user visits your site for a second time, static files will be fetched from the browser cache).I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary NoteI’m assuming you have a working nginx
