Topic: eAccelerator for PHP 5.2.2 released

[chrisd]

Hi All & particularly Steffen,

Just a quick note to let you know, i've released a new version of eAccelerator for PHP 5.2.2

You can find it here:
http://www.sitebuddy.com/PHP/Accelerators/eAccelerator_windows_binaries_builds

eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

Cheers,
Chris

Do you have any experience how to configure it best?

I compiled a new version of eAccelerator 0951 for php 522 with VC 2005.

Steffen, I noticed you release your modules with a ".manifest" file.
Do I need to also include one ? Will yours do ?
Users probably also need the VC++ Redistributable SP1, right ?

Also in the optimization section of VC 2005 do you pick any of the options to make this faster. After a quick read of the help file, I picked:
Only __inline (/Ob1)
Yes (/Oi)
Favor Fast Code (/Ot)
No
Enable link-time code generation (/GL)

Do you have any recommendation for these settings.

Thanks,
Chris from SiteBuddy.com

Yep, I include httpd.exe.manifest for running Apache not build with VC8 eg. the distro from apache.org . I cannot recall the exact reason anymore, was a long time ago.

When there are issues with loading, try to pick the httpd.exe.manifest from the mod_security-2.1.1-win32.zip. This one has the manifest for SP1.

Nowadays in the readme files I have:

- If you run a binary *not* from the ApacheLounge, copy httpd.exe.manifest to .../apache2/bin

Yes the users need to install VC++ Redistributable SP1 with your build.

I did not play that much with optimization, sorry.

I'll just wait and see if anyone has any issue. It worked without any problem for me since I already had the required pieces (redis. VC SP1 + .manifest).

Thanks Steffen.
