eAccelerator
Submitted by chris on January 15, 2006 - 17:29We have been using this PHP accelerator (0.9.X), on multiple servers, for a long time. It's used on some high traffic sites without any problem.
Install:
a) Download a copy of eAccelerator that is compatible with your version
of PHP.
This can be an issue with eAccelerator. Sometimes it can take a
little time before the Windows binaries are available for the most recent version of PHP.

Running Apache + PHP + Accelerators under Windows 2003
Submitted by chris on September 19, 2006 - 20:54I have been getting some instability running Apache with PHP + Accelerators under Windows 2003. I will log my finds in this article. Visit regularly for updates. I ended up running 7 Apaches on a Windows 2003 Server to test all different kinds of configurations. Recently because it was becoming complex, I started logging my finds. This page is probably for the hardcore debugging type...
Mitigating factors:
- Most crash seem to happen because of load (with very low traffic you might
never experience problems).
- My PHP applications are very demanding. Especially Gallery2 which relies on
external libraries for processing images. Again other PHP applications might not
experience these problems.
-If you have issues with IIS, these finding might also be applicable.
Xcache a new PHP accelerator ? (updated version 1.0.2)
Submitted by chris on August 16, 2006 - 11:43It looks like the author of Xcache grew frustrated with the current offering of PHP accelerators and decided to build a simple stable PHP accelerator. For example, eAccelerator works perfectly on multiple servers here but on others it crashes multiple times a day. I'm still investigating this: eAccelerator crash
eAccelerator crash

I've created an article to try to track what works and what doesn't: Running Apache + PHP + Accelerators under Windows 2003
After moving a site with some traffic to an Apache 2.2.x server, I have been getting multiple Apache crash per day. Before I was only getting these about once a week. Here is what the error looks like in the Apache error.log:

APC problem with Gallery 2
Submitted by chris on May 22, 2006 - 22:16Under Apache 2.2.2 and 2.0.55 using APC (3.0.11-dev) I could not delete an image using Gallery2.
My temporary solution is to disable caching of Gallery2 classes in APC with:
apc.filters="-g2.*\.class"
