Hello,

I require a server admin to install PHP eAccelerator or a program that serves the same purpose as the PHP requests on my server are high which are causing it to crash. Therefore I need to minimize them.

My linux server is running Cent OS 3.4 (I am 99% sure).

PHP eAccelerator (http://eaccelerator.net/HomeUk)

Please PM me here with your email, IM IDs, price and how long it will take you.

Thanks

Hi,

Installing Eaccelerator is rather easy, you can install it yourselves. You can follow this easy procedure :

Installation:

UPGRADING:

1) To upgrade eaccelerator:

Just download the NEW version of eaccelerator and recompile - same instructions as installating.

NOTE the CHANGES to the directory path in php.ini

2) To upgrade PHP versions:

You need to DELETE the eaccelerator directory that has been compiled, re-untar the eaccelerator gzip file and RE-INSTALL and recompile eaccelerator for every NEW version of PHP.

1) Login as root in SSH

2) Run the following commands in the following order:

cd /

mkdir ea

cd ea

wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/eaccelerator/eaccelerator-0.9.3.tar.gz


tar xvzf eaccelerator-0.9.3.tar.gz

cd eaccelerator-0.9.3

export PHP_PREFIX="/usr"

$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize

./configure --enable-eaccelerator=shared --with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config

make

make install

3) Edit php.ini - usually it's /etc/php.ini or /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Find this:

;Windows Extensions

Above this, comment out or remove the PHPA or mmcache lines if you have them. Replace them with this:

To install as a ZEND extension:

zend_extension="/ea/eaccelerator-0.9.3/modules/eaccelerator.so"
eaccelerator.shm_size="16"
eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator"
eaccelerator.enable="1"
eaccelerator.optimizer="1"
eaccelerator.check_mtime="1"
eaccelerator.debug="0"
eaccelerator.filter=""
eaccelerator.shm_max="0"
eaccelerator.shm_ttl="0"
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0"
eaccelerator.shm_only="0"
eaccelerator.compress="1"
eaccelerator.compress_level="9"

OR to install as a PHP extension:

extension="/ea/eaccelerator-0.9.3/modules/eaccelerator.so"
eaccelerator.shm_size="16"
eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator"
eaccelerator.enable="1"
eaccelerator.optimizer="1"
eaccelerator.check_mtime="1"
eaccelerator.debug="0"
eaccelerator.filter=""
eaccelerator.shm_max="0"
eaccelerator.shm_ttl="0"
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0"
eaccelerator.shm_only="0"
eaccelerator.compress="1"
eaccelerator.compress_level="9"

4) Create the cache directory by doing the following at the command line

mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator

chmod 0777 /tmp/eaccelerator


5) Restart Apache

service httpd restart

Done!

Charles

Thank you DediPlace for those brilliant instructions and also thanks to SolidLogix for the quick installation they carried out for me. I would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks all - once again another of my problems solved quickly on WHT :-)
