Hi all,
Where can I find out best strategy for using the following Caches
1. $wgMainCacheType * 2. $wgParserCacheType * 3. $wgMessageCacheType * // found no documentation 4. $wgUseFileCache (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Cache_variables)
I have some 800.000 pages (MW1.15) on a single CPU Linux/Ubuntu with 2 Gb RAM, DB on the same machine, currently using MyISAM tables.
Although reading about the cache variables I'm still not sure of what exact difference there is between them.
== Question 1 ==
For example, should one use BOTH the (#1) $wgMainCacheType and the (#2) $wgParserCacheType, and possibly also server-side caching static pages (#4) $wgUseFileCache ?
== Question 2 ==
What are the benefits and draw backs with using either of the two options below, after excluding the other options? * CACHE_DB * CACHE_ACCEL - (eAccelerator in my case)
Which one seems to be preferred on my setup? Perhaps there's an overview page about cache strategy (for my kind of server setup) which I have missed?
Regards,

* * CACHE_DB - * CACHE_MEMCACHED - memcached, * CACHE_ACCEL - eAccelerator, mmTurck or APC, whichever is available * CACHE_DBA - ... DBM-style database
