I've had the opertunity to try a variety of different server configurations but never really got around to trying HHVM with Magento until recently. I thought I would share a detailed walkthrough of configuring a single instance Magento server running Nginx + Fast CGI + HHVM / PHP-FPM + Redis + Percona. For the purpose of this blog post I'm assuming you are using Fedora, CentOS, or in my case RHEL 6.5.

Please note: I'm 100% open to suggestions. If you see something I did that needs to be done a different way, please let me know. I haven't included my Perconca my.conf file yet. I will shortly. Also I plan on trying this same test with HHVM 3.3 and PHP 7.

Install the EPEL, Webtatic, and REMI repos

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm

/* Extend the Underscore object with the following methods */

// Rate limit ensures a function is never called more than every [rate]ms
// Unlike underscore's _.throttle function, function calls are queued so that
//   requests are never lost and simply deferred until some other time
//
// Parameters
// * func - function to rate limit
// * rate - minimum time to wait between function calls
// * async - if async is true, we won't wait (rate) for the function to complete before queueing the next request

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
