[HOW-TO] Use "mod_fastcgi_handler + PHP-FPM" instead of "mod_fastcgi + PHP-FPM" (Less code to work on)

By BXTra |
I have read about mod_fastcgi_handler which I think it will help me to write less code to work on PHP-FPM. Checked their website, even they say it's beta quality and there are a couple bugs. I still think I should try it. So, below is what I did to replace mod_fastcgi with mod_fastcgi_handler. 1.

[HOW-TO] Enable and setup PHP-FPM in DirectAdmin (PHP 5.3)

By BXTra |

I've heard about PHP-FPM about a month ago from DirectAdmin webboard. Then, a few weeks ago, I had a couple websites that I need to make it run faster. After tried to do many things with it like ... to use mod_fcgid / XCache / Memcached, I feel like there was something in XCache since "Page execution time" is quite high. Then, I remember that I've read from many websites that XCache doesn't really work with mod_fcgid. From the technical point, all of them explained it clearly to understand.
