What is eAccelerator?

[barisaydiner]

I installed this way

Code Select Expand

yum install php-devel

but it didn't solve.

namely which code I have to use?

[青山 素子]

I'm guessing Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS. I'm not that familiar with those systems, but you need to find the package containing Automake for a start.

[Daniel15]

Try

Code Select Expand

yum install gcc automake
That may or may not solve the problem

My host just installed eAccelerator and here is what they gave me:

eAccelerator installed.

with Zend Optimizer v3.2.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies

Now my question was, that when I check the Caching tab in the Admin panel it still says that SMF cannot find a compatible accelerator.  I went ahead and set it to level 1 anyways, but I wanted to make sure that wasnt a problem and if there was a way i could check to make sure it was working proper?  Thanks!

You hosts needs to compile it with --with-eaccelerator-content-caching or SMF won't be able to make use of it.

thanks it is working now

Aside from removing the necessary lines in php.ini, how can I get eAccelerator totally out of my system?

[!Hachi!]

removing files that you installed?.so type files.

I did not understand. what can I do? What code i need? and i tried to install eaccelerator-0.9.5.2. 

[Daniel15]

barisaydiner, what version of PHP are you using? You might be using an old version that is not supported... That looks like a problem with PHP versions lower than 4.3.10.

thank you I checked it, version is 4.3.9
I hope  if i upgrede it I will solve it, thanks again. I will come back.

[Daniel15]

No problem
It is always recommended to use the latest PHP version, because security holes are often patched. So, you should be using either PHP 4.4.7 or 5.2.5. If you're using "yum" on CentOS to install PHP, I'd suggest to use the "RPMForge" repository, as it usually has the newest packages (the main CentOS ones get old quickly).
For CentOS 4 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, run this command:

Code Select Expand


rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

For CentOS or RHEL 5:

Code Select Expand

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
This will set up the repository for use. Then just do something like

Code Select Expand

yum install php php-devel (I think that's all, I'm not too experienced with CentOS, as my main distribution of choice is Debian)

More information on this repository: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/
Hope this helps you

I installed accelerator few days back and I thought response time was improved but it was never detected by smf, then I recompiled it with  "--with-eaccelerator-content-caching " but still it is not visible in sMF caching option.

Please help. My board is almost 300MB & >400 vistors a day.

Thanks

Read the error carefully:

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF
environment variable is set correctly and then rerun this script.

That means you don't have the autoconf package installed. You will need to install this on your server. This can usually be done through "yum install autoconf" or "apt-get install autoconf".

Well, thats true.. anyways.. do share what performance gain you saw after eaccelerator.. I hv a board something double of your specs.. and ya .. eaccelerator was helpful.. but still I cant' come closer to page creation time I see simplemachines.org/community page

[青山 素子]

What kind of specs is your server? Do keep in mind that we actually have separate servers for database and web. It helps a lot since you can tune each one for its role. When you combine functions on a single server, you have to compromise on things.
