Server changes

We're now on PHP FastCGI which means Apache should use less memory and hopefully shouldn't fall over as often, but I'm not guaranteeing that one.

Speed should be quite a bit better also.

That is all.

Matt,

Next you switch from prefork to worker mpm on Apache make sure it is actually allowed to spawn child processes.

OK?

I was gonna say - those 500 Internal Server Errors were coming up lightning fast!

Whatever that means :?

But thanks anyway Matt, your efforts, as ever, are much appreciated!

Seems to be up and down like a yo-yo. :(

Did you flick the stability switch the wrong way?

I think it likes to change itself :/

I've put it back on prefork mpm because worker mpm seems to go nuts and I can't find a good balance of performance and resource usage.

We're still on FastCGI PHP for now, even though that doesn't appear to actually do what I thought it did, but it does save us lots of memory which is good.
