eAccelerator not working with VB5 ?

[discoverxs3]

Hello there
recently we switched to fastcgi with Apache 2.4.6

and everything was working fine with this configuration

as soon as we installed eAccelerator (using cpanel's easyapache)
our vBulleltin 5 forum stopped working.

it just showed the standard "contact the administrator message".


You could log in / log out from the front end

and also the back end was working too

but the forums ware not.

eaccelerator is horribly out of date, and not supported. Don't use it, period.

[discoverxs3]

Ok thanks.

Whats your personal recommendation then ?
Xcache, apc? none ?

[discoverxs3]

So the question is
what is supported by vb 5 then ?

what is your recommendation ?

www.diecastmodelaircraft.com running vb 5.05 with xcache

Super fast (granted we have a SSD drive and 16gb of memory on the server) but prior to that, it was super fast on our older server as well.

[discoverxs3]

yep it does run perfect.
It looks like SSD with xcache is quite impressive.

[Zachery]

APC or xcache are both fine.

[discoverxs3]

Thank you all.
So we decided to go with APC for now.
https://discoverxs.com/ Works like a charm


Here is what we made as configuration

apc.cache_by_default => On => On
apc.canonicalize => On => On
apc.coredump_unmap => Off => Off
apc.enable_cli => Off => Off
apc.enabled => On => On
apc.file_md5 => Off => Off
apc.file_update_protection => 2 => 2
apc.filters => no value => no value
apc.gc_ttl => 3600 => 3600
apc.include_once_override => Off => Off
apc.lazy_classes => Off => Off
apc.lazy_functions => Off => Off
apc.max_file_size => 1M => 1M
apc.mmap_file_mask => no value => no value
apc.num_files_hint => 1000 => 1000
apc.preload_path => no value => no value
apc.report_autofilter => Off => Off
apc.rfc1867 => Off => Off
apc.rfc1867_freq => 0 => 0
apc.rfc1867_name => APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS => APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS
apc.rfc1867_prefix => upload_ => upload_
apc.rfc1867_ttl => 3600 => 3600
apc.serializer => default => default
apc.shm_segments => 1 => 1
apc.shm_size => 128M => 128M
apc.shm_strings_buffer => 4M => 4M
apc.slam_defense => On => On
apc.stat => On => On
apc.stat_ctime => Off => Off
apc.ttl => 7200 => 7200
apc.use_request_time => On => On
apc.user_entries_hint => 4096 => 4096
apc.user_ttl => 7200 => 7200
apc.write_lock => On => On

APC config is not that complex but
any suggestions are welcome.

Suprised you even got eAccelerator to compile with Easy Apache. It has been broken for a while there.

For help with configuring your server, please post in the Server Configuration forum. There is a sticky there asking for all the information needed to help optimize your server.

[discoverxs3]

thanks i will.
and yes eAccelerator compiled with easy apachev3.22.19 (apache ver 2.4.6)

It was strange as the store worked correctly
only vb was not.

but now with APC everything is smooth.
