While installing MediaWiki, I decided to try out eAccelerator. eAccelerator is one of 3 opcode cache mentioned in Mediawiki install. The other 2 are Turck MMCache and APC.
After browsing around, eAccelerator seems to be the most popular and with the most favourable reviews.
It wasn’t that difficult to get it installed although there was a few detours. A few quick searches (I still refuse to use the world “google” as verb for “search”) solved the problems.
Installing is easy following the installation notes. So far so good. Websites loads, so I went to bed.
Next morning I found all the sites down and there was a screen-full of httpd processes. The VPS ran out of memory and I can’t even su to root. I restarted and found that there were some problem with caching WordPress:
PHP Fatal error: main() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required
Still trying to find out how to get eAccelerator to work. I suspect maybe it doesn’t on a VPS with limited RAM, in which caseI can give up.
