Practical Apache, PHP-FPM & Nginx Reverse Proxy
This is the 3rd book in the Practical Guide Series for Linux System Administrators. It will help you understand what is Apache Handler, what is PHP SAPI - e.g. DSO, mod_suPHP, mod_fastcgi, etc and how all these pieces fit together.

This book will also show you how to secure and hardened the Apache webserver and PHP-FPM. The default setup in Apache and PHP are pretty lax in security. A web-user on a non-secured server can easily view the system password file (/etc/passwd) as well as view another user's private/system files by writing just 3 lines of code. This book will show you exactly how you can accomplish this on a non-secured server!

This book will also cover how to setup Nginx Reverse Proxy to the Apache webserver to boost website performance. Here are the table of contents in this Practical Guide to Apache, PHP-FPM and Nginx Reverse Proxy:

Chapter 1. The 'LAMP' stack
Chapter 2. Apache Handlers & PHP SAPI
Chapter 3. Instal & Configure PHP-FPM
Chapter 4. Boost Performance with Opcode Cache
