Wonderful! That saves me a few days of work and testing. For PHP 5.5.1 I just choose 5.5.1 in the control panel. I added one string to this line to include Zend Opcache
PHP: 
'--enable-opcache' '--with-mysql' '--with-mysqli' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-iconv' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-litespeed' '--with-curl' '--enable-zip' '--with-bz2' '--with-jpeg-dir=lib64' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-exif' '--with-openssl' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-freetype-dir=lib64' '--with-png-dir=lib64' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-xml'
I changed this line to
PHP: 
cp /usr/local/lsws/phpbuild/php-5.5.1/php.ini-development /usr/local/lsws/lsphp5/lib/php.ini

While compiling PHP on a 512mb VPS from DigitalOcean

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Just had to re-size the VPS and trying again
 
Grate guide, but to use percona you need to have an root/dedicated server with ssd and some advanced sql optimization skills, percona is not for general purpose use. You can use this "Tools to Improve Your MySQL Performance" maybe can help you with some improuvements, but for innodb is recommended ssd. If you want an realy powerfull machine you will use an Dedicated Server min 4/core with SSD, FreeBSD, Nginx, PHP 5.5 and Percona. LiteSpeed with Percona is like sugar with salt.

Load of rubbish! Percona is a direct replacement for MySQL, and doesn't need advanced SQL skills to tune it.

I've used it on 512mb VPS, 4Gb VPS, 8Gb VPS and installed it on dedicated servers for people.

Im not going to say anything apart from, this is entirely incorrect.
 
My server has a hard time writing stuff. I got this timeout error for approving two posts. My members posting rate dropped 95% I guess there is some setting in the configuration I would have to take care of.

Edit the my.cnf and increase innodb_lock_wait_timeout

Though, sounds like a host problem to be honest.
 
Pages are now first rendered below 1 second and writes are good. I had to configure the webserver to compress more than html. I also optimized and repaired my database. This is my not optimized but working /etc/my.cnf for reference
PHP:

socket  = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysqld]

Time to First Byte with nginx: 133 ms. It was rated B on webpagetest.org.

Now it is 195 ms. Rated C. With the new setup I entered 12 workers in Litespeed for my six core CPU. PHP runs with Zend Opcache, I installed and configured memcached. Optimized my.cnf to cache queries, which did help a bit.

Start Render Time is similar to before, and that's most important. I like having my own server and being independant from PLESK.

@Slavik, I seem to get stuck at the part where we change the port from 8088 to 80. I follow the instructions, but when I type in my server IP, it just gives me a "cannot connect message". It works off of SERVERIP:8088 though, and displays the successful installation of LiteSpeed message.

Any help you could possibly give on why it will not serve up from port 80 like in the guide?
