I want to install php module php-fss on php5.3 since I heard that it boosts MediaWiki performance a lot. Is it possible to do that? Is it installed on wikipedias?

I've never heard of it and do not believe it's in use in production.

In MediaWiki 1.18 and later this is no longer the case, that part of the parser was rewritten to be fast whether or not FSS is installed. There are still a few uses of FSS in MediaWiki and its extensions: * Malayalam and Arabic character set normalisation * Chinese and Serbian variant conversion * Parsing edit section links (MWTidy) * Extensions: AbuseFilter, LiquidThreads, FCKeditor and Transliterator You probably won't get enough of a performance benefit to make it worthwhile unless you are using one of the four content languages mentioned above or Transliterator. The installation procedure is the same as any PHP extension, i.e. phpize ./configure make sudo make install -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
