Help Installing eaccellerator

[zunescene]

OK.  Well I gave them an authorization email to install it.  It may not be dont till tomorrow but I hope it helps cause my forum sucks performance wise.

It loaded fairly quick for me. Did you make sure to do the usual tricks? That includes disabling hostname lookups (many hosts have awful DNS servers and that causes delays).

On my non-loaded forum I just moved to my own server, enabling caching at level 1 with SMF cut the creation time in half (from 0.2 to 0.1 seconds).

OK he said he installed APC but this still shows in smf.  I even restarted apache.

SMF has not been able to detect a compatible accelerator on your server.

How can I check if apc is installed

Follow the info in: What is phpinfo.php?

Scroll down the info on that page and look for an area for "apc"

As an example, this is how it looks on my development server:

apc

APC Support	enabled
Version	3.0.13
MMAP Support	Enabled
MMAP File Mask	no value
Locking type	File Locks
Revision	$Revision: 3.135 $
Build Date	Mar 28 2007 08:13:23

I dont see APC at all, do you?

Nope. Try restarting the webserver (just that portion, not the whole server). They might not have done that after the install, and you need to make PHP re-load the modules.

OK it's going now!  Woot!
It's moving really fast, but this proves nothing because it's 1 in the morning.  The real test will be during peak hours.  I hope it kicks butt.

thanks to this thread I installed APC just fine..

OT:
can you use eAccelerator and APC both at the same time? or do I have to enable eAccelerator from php.ini?

It is best to avoid using more than one caching engine at the same time.
