- Optimizing WordPress with Nginx, Varnish, APC, W3 Total Cache, and Amazon S3 (With Benchmarks) | danielmiessler.com – So I’ve spent the last couple of weeks tweaking my web server stack. I like my site to pop, and I’ve finally achieved a configuration that I’m somewhat happy with.
In sum, I’m running Varnish as a front-end to Nginx which is running WordPress loaded with the W3-Total-Cache plugin. The W3-Total-Cache plugin is configured to use both memcached as well as Amazon S3 as its CDN. All of this sits on Ubuntu Linux with Linode as my host.
- A Varnish Primer | danielmiessler.com – Despite the title, this article has nothing to do with painting. Here I'm going to talk a bit about the Varnish Cache — a web application accelerator designed to dramatically improve how quickly your website loads. Varnish works by caching and serving as much content as possible as "static", including dynamic results, e.g. blog posts from a CMS like WordPress.
- Varnish best practices « Kristian Lyngstol’s Blog – A while ago I wrote about common Varnish issues, and I think it’s time for an updated version. This time, I’ve decided to include a few somewhat uncommon issues that, if set, can be difficult to spot or track down. A sort of pitfall-avoidance, if you will. I’ll add a little summary with parameters and such at the end.
- Cain Manor | Setup logging for Varnish – So far, we’ve got Varnish installed and have a correct default.vcl. Now let’s make sure AWStats/JAWStats can read them.

- using mod_auth_kerb and Windows 2000/2003/2008R2 as KDC – This tutorial contains my knowledge about using Apache/mod_auh_kerb and Windows 2000/2003/2008R2 as KDC.
- Squid kerberos authentication and ldap authorization in Active Directory « Klaubert’s Blog – The squid web cache include a authenticator for kerberos, it is simple to use, but the documentation is not very clear about how to make it work. Below some steps use by me to make Squid 3.0 Stable1 and Squid 2.6 Stable17 authenticate against Active Directory (Windows 2003 Directory Service) and also to make it make the authorization using Ldap. This setup was not used in production environment yet, so its possible to had some problems not seen by me or scalabilities issues.
- active directory – Getting Squid to authenticate with kerberos and Windows 2008/2003/7/XP – Server Fault – This is setup with Squid 3.0, has also been tested with Squid 3.1 and should work with Squid 2.7. Your Windows user must be a member of the SQUID_USERS group in Active Directory (for this case anyway).
On the Windows side, Windows XP and Windows 2007 have been tested against Windows 2008, and Windows XP against Windows 2003.
- Open vSwitch – What is Open vSwitch?
Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed under the open source Apache 2.0 license. It is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, RSPAN, ERSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag). In addition, it is designed to support distribution across multiple physical servers similar to VMware's vNetwork distributed vswitch or Cisco's Nexus 1000V.
- 21 Ruby Tricks You Should Be Using In Your Own Code – 2009 Update: This post was written in early 2008 and looking back on it, there are a couple of tricks that I wouldn't recommend anymore – or to which extra warnings need to be added. I've added paragraphs like this where necessary. Enjoy!
Amici!
