Lighttpd

so is lighty slow or php? i´d say its php and one of the problems might be using 2 opcode-cachers like eA and xcache, choose only one of them...beside that 5.2.1 is really old, get newer one...

The benchmark doesn't tell anything about the webserver. It's pure php number calculation and string manipulation.
It's more like a cpu benchmark.

Thanks for such a quick answer, really appreciate that...

@nitrox
I'm just trying to use eA, because it's running slow,... neither one nor two opcode-cachers there's still slow,.. I've uninstall eA now since xCache is officially opcode-cachers for lightty...
but there's no change as before, still runing very slow.. I've try to install memcached,.. but it's still slow..
I's a good idea for updating my php,.. I'll try to update my php,... It's the latest rpm available,.. so I need to compile it my self,..

@icy
Is there any benchmark that represent the webserver performance that I can try? where can I download it?
as log as I try http://hyperend.com/php-benchmark.php it's runing much faster when I use apache,.. what is wrong with my lightty?

Here is some sample website on my server : www.hyperend.com (DRUPAL) & www.lingkarfarmasi.com (SMF)

Bytecode caches like xcache or eaccelerator will not make that "benchmark" run any faster. They elliminate the parsing of php files on every request, that's all.
And memcached doesn't magically make your app faster. It's a database that you have to use. Read about what it actually does!

To measure webserver performance, one can use "ab", siege, http_load or other tools.

You probably only need to increase the number of php children as I think you are only using one.

I've try to modify :

"min-procs" => 0,
   "max-procs" => 1,
   "bin-environment" => (
       "MUID" => "1015",
       "GID" => "1015",
       "TARGET" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
       "NON_RESIDENT" => "0",
       "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "8",
       "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000" ),
   "max-load-per-proc" => 1000,
   "idle-timeout" => 3
 ))

1. siege -b -r 10 -c 4 http://www.lingkarfarmasi.com/
   • SIEGE 2.67
   • Preparing 4 concurrent users for battle.
     The server is now under siege...

it's still running really slow (0.58 trans/sec)

1. ps axu | grep php
   root 7784 0.0 0.0 1736 484 pts/0 S+ 05:32 0:00 grep php

1. the topic is misleading and wrong, its obviously php and not lighty
2. we already told you to upgrade your php
3. we advised you to use only one opcode cacher
4. what do you expect from a 500mhz box?
5. you might want to join #lighttpd or #php on irc.freenode.net

I try to switch into apache and it's 7.38 trans/sec

So I guess lighttpd need more cpu speed, I'll upgrade my box then, maybe I'll use Xen.. let's see what happen..

thanks for the help..

Just upgrade my VPS..

Now I'm runing @ 1Ghz CPU box now,..

Testing on it :
ransactions: 40 hits
Availability: 100.00 %
Elapsed time: 26.11 secs
Data transferred: 0.33 MB
Response time: 2.11 secs
Transaction rate: 1.53 trans/sec
Throughput: 0.01 MB/sec
Concurrency: 3.24
Successful transactions: 40
Failed transactions: 0
Longest transaction: 10.40
Shortest transaction: 0.60

It's 1.53 trans/sec now...
2X CPU speed => 3X Faster..
so, lighty would be much2 better on high CPU Speed server...

@nitrox
1. I'm sure this topic is about lighty,.. I
2. sure I'm working on it..
3. Yup I'll use Xcache only now..
4. So I try to upgrade my VPS box
5. Sure..

No, its not, you are testing on php, mysql or whatever... Test on plain static files and i´d say you are talking about lighty.

I move my VPS BOX to XEN
and my siege bench now:

Transactions: 40 hits
Availability: 100.00 %
Elapsed time: 12.17 secs
Data transferred: 0.37 MB
Response time: 1.09 secs
Transaction rate: 3.29 trans/sec
Throughput: 0.03 MB/sec
Concurrency: 3.58
Successful transactions: 40
Failed transactions: 0
Longest transaction: 3.34
Shortest transaction: 0.43

It goes 3.29 trans/sec now... and the point here is, lighty need higher CPU speed to run faster (use XEN if there's anyone plan for lighty on his VPS)

@nitrox for static file I'm sure lighty is the clear winner and runing really2 fast
