There is an issue with Drupal 6 menu router rebuild which causes Drupal to time out with 404 pages or internal 500.
The following fix worked for me:
Install Drupal Tweaks, increase php memory, and mysql recommendations etc
http://drupal.org/project/drupal_tweaks
Download the following patches:

http://drupal.org/node/317775#comment-1491208
From command line copy patches to your root drupal directory.
cd to your root drupal directory and then apply the patches. Each time you will be asked where the file is for the patch and the actual path to the files to be patched will be provided in the command line. Just copy and paste each file path as presented into the prompt.
cp *.patch /home/drupal_directory/
cd /home/drupal_directory/
patch < no-router-blob-317775-56-D6.patch
patch < lock-251792-163-D6.patch
|--- includes/bootstrap.inc (revision 7577)
|+++ includes/bootstrap.inc (working copy)
--------------------------
File to patch: includes/bootstrap.inc
So in the above text you can see it gives you the path ‘includes/bootstrap.inc’. Just copy and paste that to where it says ‘File to patch:’. For each file it will provide you the correct path to the file assuming you are in the drupal root directory.
The final thing to do is to cp the lock.inc file which is created to includes/
Thematic is a pretty cool theme development framework for WordPress although I believe it can be improved.
The fix (change to whatever language or version of english you’re using eg en_GB):
apt-get install language-pack-en-base
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
dpkg-reconfigure locales
First install imagemagick.
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Then cd to your folder with your jpg images and type the following:
mogrify -quality 75 *jpg
Image optimization quality is defined by the number after -quality. In this example 75%.
Sometimes wordpress plugins can interfere with the basic functionality of wordpress such as uploading files.
The fundamental blog layout can be pretty crap for converting visitors unless you have exceptional content that can’t be found anywhere else.
The ‘above the fold’ (top of the page before scrolling) area on most blogs is usually taken up by one story and a bunch of basic links in a sidebar. Layouts like Smh homepage are optimized to get a user to click on an article with a selection of images associated with articles.
Hot images can really help increase ctr. The band of images near the bottom of the fold on the shm is a proven converter.
If you’ve created a new larger elastic block store volume from a snapshot with more disk space and size you will need to also resize the partition.
Update: Forget Wine. Virtualbox from Sun is free and far superior. You can run Ie6, Ie7, Ie8. You’ll need to go to the following page and follow the instructions. It’s important that you read down the comments to get everything set up as needed.
If you get a blue screen of death on start up you will need to start safe mode by (frantically) hitting F8 at Windows boot and choosing safe mode. Once in safe mode run regedit and change Start value to ‘4′ for the following then restart windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Intelppm

Here’s a nice post on setting up Nginx with PHP-FPM, Xcache on Debian Etch.
If you’d like to include scripts that get run on boot for Ubuntu Desktop you can use synaptic manager to load BootUp-Manager.
I read this article on php-fpm init script but it didn’t have one.
You can use the php-fpm init.d script below. You need to change the variables at the start for your bin, conf, and pid to suit your set up. PHP-FPM works great with Nginx.
Not sure if WordPress will format this script right so you can get as a text file here:
