eAccelerator

[lunoto]

Hello,

I wonder if eAccelerator makes also html pages faster. Maybe html pages are cached like php pages ?
In case someone has checked this.

I am thinking about mod_gzip too for that work.
I hope there is no incompatibility problems between those two softwares.

Hi lunoto,

No that doesn't make a difference, because html pages are static and don't have to be processed on server-side. What eAccelerator does is basically remembering the last output of a PHP page, and caches that, so next time it doesn't have to process the php page all over again (unless if something on the php page has changed, of course).

Mod_gzip can make html faster, mainly for people with slow connections, but in general it won't really make a huge difference

Try lighttpd for faster html or any other static content.

Hi Tom,

There is a lot of doc all around the web on Apache, I prefere to stay with it for the moment. I doubt that the Dehe support team will be able to help me if I have a problem with lighttpd and I don't have enough time to read the doc and test it.
Since how many time do you use that server ?
Does it support eAccelerator ?

[Andre]

We do indeed not support lightpd, or any other webserver other than Apache and IIS.

I know my forum software support gzip compression will have to look into how to install it. isn't it just uploading the module to your
/etc/httpd/conf.d/modules directory, and adding the reference to it in httpd.conf?

No you would have to actually compile it with PHP. If you use cPanel you can do this easily by using /scripts/easyapache. If you need any assistance with that you may always ask our support department for assistance.
