[Typo3-linux] apache 2 worker og prefork, fastcgi/cgi and php accelerator?

[Lars E. D. Jensen]

Hi

I decided to try apache2 this weekend, I've been using 1.3 and use it in 
production env with great success, but there's some modules available 
for apache2 which I think sound very promising, for avoiding attacks etc.

I've installed TYPO3 using apache2 with php4 running through fastcgi and 
suexec. Enabled several modules such as mod_security with my own rules.
Now, I've tried running both apache2 as worker and prefork... both work 
with fastcgi and performs OK (it's not mod_php though)...

So if you have any experience using worker or prefork or some other mpm 
regarding TYPO3 I would like to know about performance and hardware 
specs :) The server I've tested on is an old test server with 512 mb ram 
and 1,4 so I would like to have something to compare.

And does a php accelerator exist for fastcgi/cgi? I'm using both Zend 
Platform and eaccelerator, but it doesn't seem to support php-accelerators.

Thanks

Lars
