This is a list of books I’ve recently read or I am still reading. The “problem” I’m having is that I start reading more books at once instead of one by one, since I perform very badly in multitasking, but if something interests me I start it immediately.
Using php-fpm seems to be a good idea so I wanted to check how thing stand regarding web server performance. Apache is standard and I’ve being using it for lots of years, but read that nignx should be faster and more stable. Version of apache is 2.4.7 and nignx’s is 1.4.7.
After installing nginx web server I managed to make it work with hhvm. Further more SugarCRM works just fine in this configuration except for some errors on some pages. I wasn’t able to run it under apache, my app server is Arch Linux since apache 2.4.7 gives HipHop notice of file not found. It was able under ubuntu as in one of my previous posts but the app wasn’t working properly. So now with nginx I got my luck to try some results for SugarCRM.
HHVM, facebook hiphop virtual machine gets a lot of popularity recently due to good performance results. There are some benchmarks made by people showing how good hhvm is as a result of non-blocking I/O and better caching. It is also result of hiphop bytecode, the caching mahanism that is implement that translates eventually everything to c++ but in this case hhvm goes one step further instead of just keeping the php scripts in memory as apc does.
