Here’s what you missed:<\/p>\n
Installing nginx with php-fpm with varnish on the front end will make your WordPress install fly 50 times faster.<\/p>\n
If you’re using apt-get, you can just use: If you get an error message it’s probably because you didn’t go through the config to set things up.<\/p>\n The next part is nginx.<\/p>\n My conf\/nginx.con looks like this<\/a>. My sites-enabled\/default.conf looks like this<\/a>. My conf\/fastcgi_params file is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n I just start nginx with \/usr\/local\/nginx\/sbin\/nginx and I’m good to go.<\/p>\n The quote that stuck with me the most was what Josh Highland<\/a> said about caching:<\/p>\n “You should use WordPress Cache Plugins. It’s like printing money. It’s free!”<\/p>\n For adding your own contact form, I learned about Contact Form 7<\/a>. You can ditch WuFoo if you have this configured on your WordPress.<\/p>\n
\napt-get install php-fpm

\nHere’s the install process I used using PHP 5.3.3 on OS X:<\/p>\n\r\nsudo .\/configure --prefix=\/usr\/local --enable-fpm \\ \r\n --with-fpm-user=daemon --with-fpm-group=daemon \\ \r\n --with-mcrypt --with-mysql=\/usr\/local\/mysql --with-zlib \\\r\n --enable-mbstring --disable-pdo --with-curl --disable-debug \\\r\n --disable-rpath --enable-inline-optimization --with-bz2 \r\n --with-zlib --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem \\\r\n --enable-sysvshm --enable-pcntl --enable-mbregex \\\r\n --with-mhash --enable-zip --with-pcre-regex \\ \r\n --with-iconv=shared,\/usr\r\nmake && make install\r\ncp sapi\/fpm\/php-fpm.conf \/usr\/local\/etc\/php-fpm.conf\r\n# edit php-fpm.conf with the right paths\r\ncp sapi\/fpm\/php-fpm \/usr\/local\/sbin\/php-fpm\r\ncp init.d.php-fpm \/etc\/init.d\/php-fpm\r\n\/etc\/init.d\/php-fpm start\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
