@alex: Lighttpd was not running stable at that point for me. nginx has a super light foot-print, is extremly stable, fast and the configuration options are endless but easy to figure out. For my case – in many different scenarios – it has been a great piece of software and as such solution. I don´t wanna miss it in my stack.

Why did you replace lighttpd? It runs fcgi processes very well and manages them itself. Seems lots of work and extra complication. What’s the payoff?

Please note this article is totally out of date by now.

OpenSuSE is available in version 11.3 which brings *all* the software ready to install through the package manager.

The fast processing manager (FPM) is integrated into PHP5.3.3 so you do not have to patch anymore.

I am still using the same stack as described above but I switch the order. Now HAproxy is listening on port 80. Requests for static stuff are routed to Varnish. If the requested stuff is cached Varnish serves is otherwise the request is passed to nginx. Requests for dynamic things is passed directly from HAproxy to nginx.

Effectively I arrived below on another write-up but ended up staying for 20 minutes reading your stuff! Enjoyed it

Comment on Solved: Miro won’t start – missing video directory by Fabio

You should be very careful with deleting anything called “sqlitedb” as this is a data storage (Miro’s brain). In Miro’s case this most definitely holds all your subscriptions!

delete a file called “sqlitedb” it is in the miro directory.

Comment on Open Source alternative for Camtasia under Linux by Fabio

If you have got Java installed as a plugin in your browser and you are using a Mac or a PC Screenr might be an alternative for you. It did not work for me on Linux tough.

Another minor syntax bit– the correct format (at least in Centos5) for ~/.kde/share/config/kio_httprc:
