eAccelerator cache

[RaZor Edge]

eAccelerator is installed on my VPS.

In my PHPinfo page, it show:

eAccelerator

[...]

Memory Size 33,554,404 Bytes
Memory Available 1,380 Bytes
Memory Allocated 33,553,024 Bytes

With eAccelerator, are we suppose to clear the cache from time to time???

If yes, how can we do this?

Thanks!

You don't necessarily have to clear the cache. You can also simply increase the memory that's allocated to it in the php.ini. You can do this by editing /usr/lib/php.ini and to add or modify this line:

eaccelerator.shm_size = "64"

The "64" part is the memory allocation in megabytes (64 is the default value).

However you already have over 30mb in use, which is a lot, so you may also want to consider to clear the cache. You can do that by simply removing the eaccelerator files in /tmp/eaccelerator.

If you need any assistance, feel free to open a support ticket.
