MacPorts Leopard + Apache 2.2.17 + PHP 5.3.5 + WordPress 3.0.4 + 1 million or so users per month issue

[Betty Bronner]

Running with the combination in the subject line causes, every once in a while, 
to have random RSS feeds from the WordPress install show up instead of the page 
that the user requested.  This problem is exasperated as the number of users 
hitting the system increases.  The only critical variant being used is:

php5 +apache2 +pear

Everything in MacPorts built just fine.  The command I used was 'sudo port 
install php5 +apache2 +pear'.

This box also has the Entropy PHP 5.3.0 build running on it but that is/was tied 
to the Apple built Apache server.  It didn't seem to cause problems with the 
MacPorts build process but maybe it did?  I also tried to mirror the httpd.conf 
in the Apple Apache as closely as possible.

I'm also interested in nginx.  Anyone have any instructions on how to set up 
nginx with MacPorts - specifically migrating a WordPress install?  If I can get 
nginx working with WordPress, it will allow me to determine if PHP or Apache is 
the issue.  I've also read that nginx works better with PHP-FPM, but I have no 
idea what PHP-FPM is or how to set it up - MacPorts-specific instructions are 
very much desired for this too.  PHP-FPM is voodoo because no one can explain 
what it is or does or how to actually use it but everyone says it is awesome.
