Hi, having used eAccelerator a fair bit on my websites I wondered if you could apply the same principles to the webconfig! It basically stores cached versions of the php scripts so that they do not have to be regenerated every time the page loads.

The webconfig runs in it's own sandbox, and with it's own PHP version so you have to customise eaccelerator somewhat. I've built an RPM which will install cleanly along side your existing webconfig, and give it that little boost

The speed increases are noticeable from my point of view and tend to be more "snappy", but I don't have a particularly heavily used system, and they vary on the pages your viewing I'd be interested to see what others think if you fancy a go, i've not noticed any side effects such as stale content etc

Setup the community repo as per instructions HERE

This will not affect any of your existing web sites, or existing PHP eAccelerator installs as it runs out of the webconfig directory

You can manually grab the RPM's from HERE

Wow Tim - what a winner! My system isn't particularly busy, but it really has made a significant difference to the web interface. It's far faster now. This one must be a candidate for an automatic update

Woohoo!!! Tim you deserve a kiss, if i was a woman i would give you one, but since i am male ill let a woman handle that one off...

Well for a man, you look awfully like Lexa Doig ....

Wow that makes a huge difference in speed and my server isn't all that slow or loaded. I think it should be suggested that a PHP accelerator be used by default for the webconfig on ClearOS 6. Webconfig even on a fast server can be a bit on the slow side and first impressions to new users really matter.

LOL i'll go collect a kiss from my wife

Glad you have all found it useful! it really does seem to improve the response and feedback flicking between pages

Thanks much Tim. Makes a nice improvement on my moderate-load box as well. Very good!

Hi Tim,

nice one, thanks for pointing me to this application.
installed it from source (your rpm is for webconfig only, right?) and combined it with mod_pagespeed and am flabbergasted on the speed increase for both my eGroupware and Joomla sites.

this is going to be a *fast* Christmas

regards,
Ruud.

Dude, that's a lot nicer! Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting all day on that thing. Very snappy...very nice. Thanks!

Now ..... can someone apply it to the forum? ........
