Re: [Mediawiki-l] install can't find eAccelerator although it is installed

What part of eAccelerator are you trying to use? If you are trying to get the PHP script caching/optimizations to work, do remember to make the cache folder publicly writable. It doesn't matter where you put it.(just don't put it in /tmp because those get wiped on most servers if you restart). But if you are having troubles with this, it's not a MediaWiki problem, It's a eAccelerator installation problem because the script caching functions have nothing to do with the scripts themselves. eAccelerator handles that in conjunction with php and your webserver. Do note that it does look like your script cache is already working, there really isn't ever much need for anything other than that out of eAccelerator. If you are trying to get the data cache to work to cache MediaWiki stuff. What else do you have installed? Do you have Memcached? Do remember that eAccelerator is a mere backup for doing this kind of thing. If you have Memcached (recomended) like we do, then MediaWiki will try to use Memcached, then whatever data cache is in your optimizer (eAccelerator, Turk MMcache, etc...), and then fall back to it's own caching methods. We have Memcached and eAccelerator installed, and because of Memcached I've never seen anything get into eAccelerator in my life. I wouldn't consider it a proper place to be doing data caching. (Do note that the installer also does say that it's not installed) ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of The Gaiapedia, Wikia Graphical Entertainment Project, and Wiki-Tools.com Adam Meyer wrote:
