Which opcode cache?
| Posted by jauburn, 04-13-2013, 10:32 AM |
| Which opcode cache is best for a dedicated server running mostly large vbulletin boards (and a few other forums)? Here's the current php configuration:
PHP 5.2.17 (cli) (built: Apr 12 2013 12:57:35)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.2.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by ionCube Ltd.
Machine has 8 GB of RAM.
Thanks in advance for help.

| Honestly, there really isn't much of a difference between the popular PHP opcode caches. Like anything else, you will find some benchmarks that say APC is the best, and others where XCache performed best, and so forth.
Personally, I use APC, because it is endorsed by the major PHP developers and will be included in PHP 6 when it is released.

| Personally, I like XCache. With some tweaking you can get some nice fast response times. However, each opcache works differently and depends on your server setup and how you want to operate.

| APC works great, recommended for your own environment.

| OpCode caching software will not work if you have SuPHP as your PHP handler. I personally prefer eAccelerator.

| We prefer eAccelerator too. It worked better for us.
Just remember to have enough disk space free available in your /tmp partition. As others said, none of the opcode cache systems will work with SuPHP.
You need PHP running as FastCGI or DSO. Regarding DSO, you can install Apache mod_ruid2, then configure PHP to run as DSO and you have all the advantages of SuPHP in regards with security and permissions and all the advantages of DSO including better performance, less CPU usage, and the ability to run opcode cache systems.
