[users@httpd] Apache 2.2 as a static server (without PHP) to serve images
Hi.
I've got Apache 2.2 with PHP running on my Linux box to serve dynamic pages.
I was told that Apache 2.2 allows to create a secondary process which
doesn't use PHP to serve images or static files without installing a
secondary Apcache webserver or lighttpd.
Is it possible? How can I configure my Apache? Thank you very much.

AW: [users@httpd] Apache 2.2 as a static server (without PHP) to serve images
Posted by ch...@post.ch.
Hi Thomas,
A typical setup for your environment would be to set an apache reverse proxy in front and
handle the dynamic content on a dedicated backend server. You can put your static
files on your reverse proxy or serve them via another backend server.
The important part is to split dynamic and static content, just like you intend to do.
Putting all static content on the same physical machine, but on a different Apache
running on a different port sounds like a lousy setup to me. Consider clients
trying to access your service but their firewall blocks outgoing requests to anything
but port 80 and 443.
regs,
Christian

Thank you very much for your answer.
AFAIK, when Apache answers a petition of dynamic content, it requires 10-20 MB. If you request for an image, then this 20MB process is serving static content inefficiently, which could be served just by a 1MB process.
So I want to run another Apache with less memory requirements to serve these static contents.

Sure, make a copy of the httpd.conf file, remove everything that refers
PHP (the LoadModule basically), then run a secondary Apache using that
config file. You'll have to use a different port of course and redirect
images and the like to the secondary apache.
But... why?
