Re: Re: Running PHP for different virtual domains on different Apaches

Problem #2 is that the use of PHP makes each Apache process consume more memory. The process consumes more memory even when it is serving static (non-PHP) files such as a JPG. It would be more efficient to have a pool of small processes serving static files, and some larger processes serving the PHP scripts.

can't think of any other way to solve this problem than what you've done.

I don't think his solution really worked, in fact it makes the problem worse. Compared to a single pool of larger processes serving the PHP scripts, there is also a pool of small apache processes that serve static content with the overhead of proxying requests to php scripts to the other server.
