Brion, thanks for the reply. So am I to understand the turck caching is
being used by all php script I run on my server? How do I check that I
correctly installed turck/ check that it is being used by my mediawiki php
files? I will be releasing a new wiki web site that I expect to possibly
have over 300,000 visitors a day. Do you have any advice on how I can check
that my site is optimized for such a load? Do you know of any guides? I am a
some what experienced software engineer (4th year SE at cal poly) but new to
mediawiki, php and apache. If you can suggest any guides that you think
would be helpful to me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Chris

My main problem right now is I have installed turck mmcache but I don't
know
what do input for server and port? I tried
localhost:80 with no success.
Those options are only meaningful for memcached; you shoudln't set them
to anything.
With a result of "Shared memory caching:
Memcached servers: Didn't get
correct memcached response from localhost:80". So I was forced to
install
with out the cache option enabled. I added this
question to the talk
page of
help:installation but have recieved no response.
You shouldn't do anything; the primary benefit of turck mmcache and
other PHP opcode caches is caching the compiled PHP scripts, which
requires no configuration in MediaWiki.
Since parser-cache data can easily overwhelm the small memory caches for
these tools, I recommend against using the experimental options for
caching other data in them unless you really want to do experimentation
and testing to see what is most efficient for you; simply use the
default database caching.
