While FastCGI has been running, calls to WordPress have gone from about 4 seconds to 2 seconds. Calls to Mediawiki have gone from 8 seconds to 5 seconds. :-)<\/p>\n
I installed PHP_FastCGI on the blog and the (private) Flaming Lotus Girls wiki. I had tried installing it a year ago<\/a> but it proved unstable. New instructions were put on the Dreamhost wiki<\/a> and it’s been running well for the last few days. Here’s how I installed it:<\/p>\n in my root WordPress folder, I created a file called php5-wrapper.fcgi. In it, I wrote:<\/p>\n #!\/bin\/sh and then set the file to be executable like so<\/p>\n chmod u+x php5-wrapper.fcgi<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Then I added the following to the .htaccess file:<\/p>\n AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl Done!<\/p>\n Now 3 PHP sessions stays active, waiting for people to call on my server instead of PHP starting up every time I get a hit. When I run ‘ps aux’, I see the processes just sitting there, waiting. Sometimes there’s up to 6 processes temporarily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While FastCGI has been running, calls to WordPress have gone from about 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
